The Beginning
AN UNPARALLELED LEVEL OF EXPERTISE
Lexicon has been over 25 recognized years in the making, from its earliest day as a pioneer in plastic distribution and custom compounding in the mid-1990s (with over 300 million pounds of available inventory and an additional 250 million pounds of compounding capacity) to its position today as a highly specialized plastic raw materials procurement powerhouse.
The plastics procurement initiative began in 2002 while still a large part of the reseller community. Out of high demand, it was deconstructed and rebuilt in 2005 as a full-time plastics procurement practice, with 75 percent of my injection molder buying clients transformed almost overnight. As one can imagine, their competitiveness and profitability soared into the stratosphere, especially with my purchasing power.
It is an unprecedented offering of proficiency in practice that has taken the field of plastic purchasing (a reactive, passive function whose ship has long sailed) by storm and expanded it to an advanced level of procurement (a robust, strategic, proactive function).
For injection molders nationwide, I have unlocked their companies’ full potential and remain their strategic center of gravity for long-term client retention, superior margins, and business development.
