About Kendrick Plastics

Kendrick Plastics is a Tier 1.5 automotive supplier — built to move fast, think smart, and deliver results. We sit at the sweet spot between large Tier 1s and traditional Tier 2s, giving customers the best of both worlds: full-service capabilities with small-company speed and attention. Our products are on some of the best-selling vehicles in North America, and our team brings decades of experience in engineering, manufacturing, and operations.

We’re built differently — faster, leaner, and designed to win. If you’re the kind of person who takes ownership, solves problems with urgency, and wants to see the impact of your work every day, you’ll thrive here. Kendrick is a place where people grow quickly, are trusted to lead, and work alongside others who care just as much as they do.
