History

The Company was established in 1972. Initial business offerings included sewing seatbelts and blow molding seatbelt covers for automotive Tier 1 companies in the United States and Mexico. When customers began moving operations to Mexico, the company diversified operations and a plastic extrusion division was born. A few years later, the company partnered with two precision machining companies and an aluminum extrusion die company to form a manufacturing alliance.

Each of the plastics and metals operations operated individually until 1996, at which time they united under one parent company, Gemini Group, Inc. The company is one of the largest employers in Huron County, Michigan, where it operates four plastics plants and three metals plants. An eighth plant is located in El Paso, Texas and services customers in the Southern United States and Mexico.

The former owner of Gemini Group, Bill Roberts, died on May 3, 2007.
