Trost Plastics History:

In 1961, Arthur Trost started a small feed and fertilizer business for farmers called Trost Feed & Supply. For the most part, Arthur's business did well and carried its own weight until the mid-1980's. At that time, the American economy became a very uncertain frontier, especially for those in agriculture related professions. As such, Arthur began looking for other ways to keep the family business prosperous.

While visiting Grain Systems, Inc. on business one particular day, he learned that they were starting to manufacture and sell Heritage Vinyl Products for fencing to diversify business. Arthur felt this would also be a great way to diversify the businesses of Trost Feed & Supply. He brought the idea to the table and Trost Plastics was formed.

As the 1990's arrived, Arthur's children, Dennis and Ellen, began to see the enormous potential for vinyl fencing. As they slowly began to take over Arthur's business, they initiated the practice of buying Heritage Vinyl Products in profile and bulk to build fence and other specialty items at reduced overall costs and higher quality to the customer. In the process, Trost Feed & Supply was downsized and eventually dissolved.

Today, Trost Plastics, under the direction of Dennis, Ellen and Arthur, specializes in vinyl fencing and service, offering top-of-the-line quality products and installations. The company remains within the top five dealers nationwide that Heritage Vinyl Products does business with and continues to thrive.
