Research & Development

Blackhawk Molding Co, Inc. was founded in 1949. We are a family owned and operated corporation headquartered in Addison, Illinois. Blackhawk operates three manufacturing plants in the USA; located in Addison, Illinois; Mayflower, Arkansas; and Sparks, Nevada.  We also have partners in Purto Rico and Europe. Blackhawk Molding Co, Inc. specializes in inventing and manufacturing proprietary products. Blackhawk is a pioneer in supplying plastic injection molded products to the dairy, bottled water, beverage and other industries.
Our Swinger Handle™ put Blackhawk on the map in the dairy industry early in the 1960s. This handle along with the equipment to assemble it to fiber-board cartons was sold in the hundreds of millions to the dairy industry. When blow molded bottles came into use, Blackhawk was one of the first suppliers of injection molded caps. Many companies have come and gone in this industry with Blackhawk surviving as one of the major suppliers. Through the years we have developed a wide range of caps for the dairy and bottled water industries.
