Inteplast Group President Dr. John Young said that Reef Industries’ expertise in film customization aligns with Inteplast’s product range and related applications.
“I’ve tracked Reef’s progress since the mid-1990s, when I was lucky enough to meet Troy Taylor, then its newly appointed president. I am deeply impressed with what it has accomplished over the years with thick, durable, reinforced films, as well as with its well-earned reputation as a customer-friendly supplier eager to meet customers’ needs in search of the perfect, engineered solution,” said Dr. Young.
Reef Industries becomes the latest member of Inteplast’s Performance Films and Solutions division, under the leadership of President John Stevens.
Stevens explained that adding Reef Industries to the Inteplast family of companies will strengthen the company’s focus on innovative film development.
“The acquisition of Reef Industries exemplifies Inteplast Group’s long-term strategic plan to grow our film offerings with complementary capabilities that enhance our position as a solutions-oriented leader.

He also noted that Inteplast’s XF Films in Lolita, TX, and MTI Polyexe in Brentwood, NH, along with Reef Industries’ sister companies, are both producers of proprietary, engineered, extra-strong, and coated film products for the overlapping construction, industrial, and agriculture industries.
Troy Taylor, president of Reef Industries, said that the acquisition will speed up the company’s continuous growth. “At this point in Reef Industries’ history, Inteplast Group is the perfect partner. Change is a necessary part of life, and I believe that this will be very positive for both Inteplast Group and Reef Industries. Not only does joining Inteplast bring great value to our company and dedicated staff, but our customers, new and old, will benefit as well,” said Taylor.
