 PROFILE
How's this for taking the phrase "pay with plastic" literally? A division of industry giant General Electric, GE Plastics is one of the world's largest suppliers of high-performance polymers for use in automobiles, consumer, construction, and other applications. The division designs 11 product families of thermoplastics in three main groups: amorphous (strength and stiffness), semi-crystalline (heat and chemical resistance) and amorphous-crystalline blends (specific applications). GE Plastics also offers custom engineered plastics for applications requiring tight tolerances, wear resistance, and electrostatic control. The division accounts for about 6% of General Electric's total sales.
