Achieving Innovative Solutions
Through People and Plastics™.
Plastics since 1914? Yes! Originally known as the Rench Co., we sold plastic numbers and letters from cellulose back then. My grandfather purchased items from Rench back in the 1920's (he came to San Diego in 1910). Later, the Ridout family purchased and renamed the company in the 1950's. Our family purchased the company in 1967 and kept the name - as everyone knew: For Plastics, go to Ridout Plastics!
We are comprised of 3 inter-related business units - information on all items and services are available through this site. To Buy Plastics On Line  Visit our new Web Store!
