Over this time, the company has grown from three people to over 150 employees. Seaway Plastics Engineering CEO Tim Smock said, “The Seaway Plastics Engineering team takes great pride in being presented by Governor Scott the Governor’s Ambassador Award. We share the Governor’s passion and vision for growing good paying manufacturing jobs in the State of Florida." Smock added, "We are blessed to be located in Florida, in the Pasco County area where our team and families live. During the past 30 years we have grown from a very small, relatively unknown company to a company recognized as a national leader in the plastic injection molding and mold building industry. By making significant investments in new equipment, in expanded facilities and most importantly, in our team and community, we have seen our staff grow from 50 to over 150 during the past 10 years. Looking ahead, we are well positioned for continued growth.”
