Norry Hastings founded the family company in 1956. Norry served his country as a Coast Guard Officer in WWII. He was a founding member of Southern California Society of Plastics Engineers. He was inducted into the Western Plastics Hall of Fame in 1982.

Norry operated the business until 1985 when his son, Michael took over. Under Michael's management, Hastings Plastics, began a retail store to better serve our Santa Monica friends and neighbors.
