From One Machine to a Trusted Manufacturing Partner

PharoPLAST was founded in 1972 as Innovations in Plastic, starting out with a single injection molding machine in a small rented space in Cleveland, Ohio.

That small shop grew into a trusted supplier over time, building a reputation for reliability, responsiveness, and quality execution. By the early 2000s, the company was serving both regional and national customers, including manufacturers such as Parker Hannifin, Eaton, and Steris.

In 2022, ownership transitioned to Christopher Miedza, a longtime tooling and design partner. While the name changed to PharoPLAST, the core of the business did not. The people, facility, and commitment to delivering excellence in every part we mold all remain in place to this day.

A Father-Son Team Expanding the PharoPLAST Foundation

While Charles Hazle built the foundation for PharoPLAST, the father-son duo of Christopher and Simon Miedza have expanded the company’s reach.

Christopher boasts more than 30 years of part design experience that provides deep plastics-specific expertise. Simon leads PharoPLAST’s expanding sales efforts, growing the company from local Cleveland connections to a one-stop injection molding company designed to provide regional support for businesses across the Midwest.

Built for Today’s Manufacturing Reality

Manufacturing has changed. Supply chains are tighter. Timelines are shorter. Engineering teams are under more pressure, often without deep plastics specialization.

PharoPLAST has evolved to meet these realities by focusing on:
  • Engineering-led plastics manufacturing
  • Domestic production and reshoring support
  • Tooling practices that reduce long-term risk
  • Responsive, relationship-driven service
The goal is not just to make parts, but to help customers avoid the problems that slow launches, disrupt production, and create internal escalations. Even as manufacturing changes, our goal remains clear: to make it easy for our customers to invest in cost-effective, reliable plastic parts.

Our Values, Reflected in Our Work

Customer-Centric Service

Icons Engineering Support

Our success is tied directly to our customers’ success. Decisions are made with long-term outcomes in mind, not short-term wins.

Family-Owned Accountability

As a family-owned company, accountability is personal. Customers work directly with people who have authority to act and resolve issues.

Ethical, Transparent Practices

We believe in clear communication, honest recommendations, and transparency around tooling, cost, and tradeoffs.

Innovation with Purpose

Icons Tooling-Mold Building

We always strive for new ways to improve manufacturability, reliability, and production outcomes, not add complexity for its own sake.

Engineering at the Center of What We Do

Most injection molding problems start before a part ever reaches the press. That challenge is why engineering plays a central role at PharoPLAST.

Engineering is not a detached consulting service at PharoPLAST. It is directly tied to tooling decisions, production planning, and long-term success. We bring plastics-specific design and manufacturability expertise into projects early, helping customers:
  • Catch design risks before tooling is cut
  • Reduce rework, scrap, and cosmetic issues
  • Launch products faster by doing things right the first time
  • Maintain stable production over the life of a program
The goal is not just to make parts, but to help customers avoid the problems that slow launches, disrupt production, and create internal escalations. Even as manufacturing changes, our goal remains clear: to make it easy for our customers to invest in cost-effective, reliable plastic parts.

Regionally Focused. Personally Responsive

Based in Northeast Ohio, PharoPLAST works closely with manufacturers across the Midwest, primarily in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Kentucky, West Virginia, and other states surrounding the Buckeye State. Our location allows for easier collaboration, quicker response when issues arise, and stronger long-term partnerships.

Customers are not routed through layers of account management. They have direct access to engineers, leadership, and decision-makers who understand their programs and can act quickly.

Molding Your Vision Regardless for Buyers of All Sizes

Small businesses that need 50 parts deserve the same quality and service as a Fortune 500 company. PharoPLAST is built to provide accessible injection molding and execute 24-hour lead times in an industry often driven by scale.

The company’s business model has always been based on reliability, responsiveness, and quality injection molding. PharoPLAST’s origins trace back to supporting hardworking manufacturers based in Cleveland, and the company won’t stop backing these businesses. That dedication is why there will always be a small project division at PharoPLAST to support customers of all sizes.

“Most molders won't give you the time of day for small quantities because getting a project off the ground takes real work. The tooling, engineering, and setup are the same no matter the run size, and we’ll provide the same effort for a small order as we do for our larger customers.” – Simon Miedza
