Parkway was founded on April 1, 1946, in Cincinnati by Edward Willig and sons Edgar and Donald.

Today, the company is a diversified manufacturer offering five product technologies that include thermoplastic molding, high-performance polymer molding, magnesium Thixomolding, thermoset composite molding, and machined plastic solutions via nine production facilities in the United States and Mexico.
“Today we honor the past, humbled by the loyalty of many customers holding leadership positions in their industries and thankful for the efforts of so many dedicated associates who have been members of the Parkway family over these 75 years,” said CEO Andrew Green.
Parkway currently has more than 750 employees, and serves industry leaders in the healthcare, infrastructure, aerospace, electronics, agriculture, industrial, and automotive markets.
“As we celebrate the past, we also define our future as leaders in the technologies we offer and the markets we serve, committed to providing our customers with the very best supplier partnership available in our industry, and to offer our associates a great place to work and develop their careers,” Green added.
