Durable Geomembrane Solutions for Industrial Containment
Plastatech Engineering has been a leader in manufacturing high-performance thermoplastic geomembranes since our founding in 1985. Our vertically integrated production process combines proprietary technology with hands-on expertise to create durable, customizable containment solutions for industrial applications. We specialize in both reinforced and non-reinforced PVC membranes engineered to withstand extreme conditions while maintaining compliance with environmental regulations. Our state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities in Saginaw, Michigan produce materials with exceptional physical properties through advanced calendering and lamination techniques. With decades of experience serving sectors like wastewater management, aquaculture, and chemical containment, we provide solutions that reduce installation costs and improve operational efficiency.Our commitment to innovation is demonstrated through product advancements like UV-resistant 40 mil geomembranes and sustainable recycling programs. We maintain rigorous quality control standards across all production stages, ensuring consistent performance in exposed or covered applications. Our technical team works closely with fabricators and installers to optimize material handling and welding processes. As an American manufacturer, we prioritize domestic sourcing and production capabilities to support rapid response times and supply chain reliability. Our industry leadership extends to sustainability initiatives, including our Geomembrane Take Back Program for recycling used PVC membranes.

Services
Geomembrane Manufacturing
We produce reinforced and non-reinforced PVC geomembranes engineered for chemical resistance and durability. Our thermoplastic membranes form impermeable barriers against liquids and hazardous materials. Products meet ASTM standards for applications in wastewater treatment, landfills, and industrial containment.
Custom Fabrication
Our materials support factory-fabrication to minimize on-site welding requirements. This approach reduces labor costs by up to 60% while improving installation quality. Custom configurations accommodate complex site geometries and specific performance requirements for containment systems.
Industrial Grade Products
We manufacture 40 mil UV-resistant geomembranes for demanding industrial environments. These products withstand extreme temperatures and chemical exposure while maintaining structural integrity. Applications include secondary containment for chemical storage and hazardous waste management.
Fish Grade Membranes
Our fish-grade geomembranes meet FDA compliance for aquaculture applications. Non-toxic formulations ensure aquatic life safety while providing leak-proof containment. Materials resist biological degradation and maintain performance in continuous water exposure conditions.
Oil Resistant Solutions
We develop specialized membranes with enhanced resistance to petroleum-based products. These solutions prevent hydrocarbon leaching while maintaining flexibility for easy installation. Common applications include oil storage facilities and industrial vehicle maintenance areas.

I worked there for two years! They say they offer leveling up ECT but don't believe it! I did bottom station for months on lam 2 and trained me on top for a day only! Then tossed me back to the wolves and never seen the light of day since! Always never enough people! The upper management and supervisors need better coaching overall, especially on how to handle intense situations persay. Oder of operations is mental at times to be honest.
Like they have no idea. The work they force upon you especially at level one is rediculous! They force you to do level 2 to 4 work and get paid level one! I do appreciate the financial gain but how many hours ECT you have to reach to make it is not worth the physical and mental pain you end up going through. They do not treat nor appreciate the employees as much as they should period. always give the minimum and expect the most! Rather they hire way to many supervisors and have less workers. Rediculous.had enough and eventually left!. Onto bigger and better things!

They fired an employee of 4 years with a good record and good performance (me) because they couldn't figure out how a knee could be injured from being bent in the wrong direction too much. Just assumed I was lying about an injury and fired me over the phone with no notice. Good job, assclowns.

Didn't have any delivery issues. I called ahead day before to see what time I should get there. They said 08:00. I arrived 08:00 at bldg 725. Was direct to bldg 825. At bldg 825 was given dock over by the silos. They're unloading me now. Need shoes, safety vest, and safety glasses. I put my tandems to the back and they placed my wheel chock and locked my air line. Ok to wait in truck during unload here. I'm hauling hazmat chemicals in IBC totes so maybe my experience is better than most. Everything going just as it should.
