Aclo Compounders
Aclo is a custom compounder of thermoplastic resins with production capacity in Ontario, Canada.
Founded in 1964, Aclo Compounders operated as a local compounder serving the needs of regional molders. Aclo was sold to Mitsubishi in 1986. This move allowed the company to fulfill its potential and develop the capability to compete on a more international level.
In 1990, Idemitsu Chemicals (USA) joined forces with Mitsubishi as a shareholder in the company and paved the way for Aclo to break into underserved markets. Their involvement with Aclo has opened doors for further business outside of Canada and into new markets including automotive.
Aclo was sold to The Matrixx Group in August 2008.

Fiberfil was the first company to incorporate glass fiber and other reinforcements into thermoplastics.
Fiberfil’s plant in Stoney Creek, Ontario has been in operation since 1970.
