For generations, Prestige Mold has produced the highest-quality, competitively-priced precision injection molds for the plastics industry. Supported by revolutionary technology and expert personnel, the company’s commitment to service, quality, design and products creates long-term, dynamic partnerships with customers. “Art-to-Part” is Prestige’s business model and through innovative engineering processes and use of 3D modeling software, Prestige turns ideas into reality. CEO Donna Pursell and her late husband Mike Koebel founded Prestige Mold in 1983 in their garage.

Assembly Member Mike Morrell met with Pursell and her management team for a brief presentation on the company, followed by an in-depth tour of the moldmaking facilities. Assembly Member Morrell then toured Pres-Tek Plastics next door. Pursell created injection molding company Pres-Tek Plastics Inc. in early 2012 with the aim to develop technology solutions and turnkey packages for the existing customers of sister firm Prestige Mold.
