Joe Peters is the second generation President of Universal Plastics Corporation. He has over 30 years experience in heavy gauge Thermoforming having worked at Universal since its founding in 1966. He has been involved in all aspects of the process, but spent most of his years in design Engineering which he studied at Western New England College. He succeeded his father, James R. Peters, Sr., as President in 1990. Universal currently employs 90 people in two facilities, specializing in the tight tolerance pressure and thermoforming of cosmetic multi-component products for many industries including electronics, medical, photographic, and aircraft. Under his direction, Universal has begun manufacturing 13´ kayaks from 100% post consumer-recycled polyethylene. Joe is very interested in becoming an active member of SPE Thermoforming board. He has worked to advance our industry by speaking before numerous groups including local SPE chapters and other Engineering groups, and our own SPE Thermoforming Conference in 1997.
