Waveform Plastics Technologies, founded in 1999, is a manufacturer of custom thermoformed products, with extensive experience in product design, product development and manufacturing. We have a diverse customer base, with customers in the medical, marine, electronics and instrumentation, automotive, advertising and POP industries. We have a wide range of disciplines in-house that enables us to get your project done in less time, without the communications problems so common when working with several specialized companies.

Our experience enables us to take your product from concept to production. With extensive CAD design and CNC machining experience, we can offer in-house design and manufacture of all tooling, from wood, foams, fiberglass, aluminum, and other composites.

While Waveform's facilities are located in Central Ontario, Waveform provides products and services to customers throughout North America. Our lower overhead costs, compared to other companies in urban centers, translate into better price for you.

Waveform Plastics is a family-run business, and everyone takes a very active role in managing each and every order, ensuring we meet cost, quality, and delivery expectations. The key people at Waveform Plastics are:

David Hodder - President

As part of the founding management team, Dave brings a wealth of production experience to assure a timely, cost efficient delivery of thermoformed products. Dave has over 10 years of CNC machining experience, and has produced a wide variety of tooling and CNC-machined products including canoe and kayak patterns, vacuum forming molds, aircraft parts and industrial products and packaging for an impressive client list including the CBC, Global Television, Canadian Olympic Association, Rogers Communications, Found Aircraft, and Algonquin Automotive, to name just a few. He is a principle of Waveform and works directly with our team in designing and building molds, patterns and fixtures.

Neil Hodder - General Manager

Neil’s small business background and keen business acumen translated into his position as General Manager of Waveform Plastics. While attending Wilfrid Laurier University for Business and Economics, he operated a successful marketing business for five years before coming to Waveform in 2004. With his hands-on involvement on almost every order, Neil has developed a strong understanding of the thermoforming process, and what will or will not work. Neil has also been instrumental in developing many of the manufacturing processes and techniques that make us so efficient and cost-effective.

Leonard Hodder, PMP - Sales and Project Manager

With a computer science background, Len has spent most of his earlier years with Waveform programming PLCs and automating processes to improve efficiency and quality, which has given him a strong background in the thermoforming process. Len is a qualified Project Manager, with years of project management experience and has been awarded the PMP (Project Management Professional) designation by the Project Management Institute in 2005. He is also a member of the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers), and SPE (Society of Plastics Engineers). Len is now focused on sales, project management, and customer support. When he's not on the road reviewing a new design with a customer, you'll find Len working from our office in Richmond Hill, Ontario, or at the plant in South River, Ontario.
