Dutchland Plastics, the Oostburg, Wisconsin based manufacturer of high quality plastics products, was recently recognized by YETI as one of its top suppliers.
YETI, the cult brand responsible for launching the premium cooler market, presented Dutchland with a “Core Values Award.”
“This award is a tremendous honor,” said Dutchland CEO Randy Herman. “We take great pride manufacturing YETI coolers, ensuring they meet or exceed expectations for quality. It’s great to be recognized by YETI for the amazing work our team performs.”
Based on a survey of operations and innovations teams that interact with all YETI suppliers, the “Core Values Award” was awarded to Dutchland to celebrate its manufacturing excellence and innovation while adhering to YETI’s core values.
Those values are:
- Be authentic and innovative with our brand and products
- Continually strive for improvement
- Prioritize activities that have the biggest impact
- Be responsive and go the extra mile
- Act with a sense of urgency
- No one succeeds alone
One of the top five rotational molding companies in North America, Dutchland Plastics has been manufacturing YETI coolers since 2013. Founded in 2006 by brothers Roy and Ryan Seiders, avid outdoorsmen who built the first YETI in their father’s garage in 2006, YETI partnered with Dutchland because both companies share a commitment to quality that is unmatched.
“We consider Dutchland to be among the best molders in the USA,” Roy said in an earlier interview. In addition to manufacturing YETI coolers, Dutchland Plastics produces more than 3,500 rotationally molded product lines at its 200,000 square foot manufacturing facility in Oostburg for companies including NuCanoe, Leer, KI, Swenson and Polaris.
The company also makes products geared for the recreational, commercial, outdoor, food and beverage, furniture and marine industries.
Dutchland Plastics recently finished building a new 50,000 square-foot facility in Canastota, NY, and plans to create in more than 40 new jobs in the area.
