Helping the Community

Blackwell Plastics operates in Houston's Third Ward providing a place for people to come learn valuable skills and train on the job. Blackwell Plastics is involved in local schools and other organizations to help provide learning and information to the community about plastics and injection molding, including start ups as well as already developed businesses.

Blackwell Plastics is a family owned and operated business since 1939. Our employees are family and our most valued resource. We take time to strengthen the bonds of both community and professionalism in our people. This gives us that "Level 5 Service" edge.

This is how Blackwell Plastics has operated, operates today and will continue to operate in the future. This means Blackwell Plastics will continue to provide customers with "Level 5 Service" and remain one of Houston's finest companies.

The Four-Way Test

Of the things we think, say or do:

1. Is it the truth?

2. Is it fair to all concerned?

3. Will it build goodwill & better friendships?

4. Will it be beneficial to all concerned?

Rotary Mission: To improve the quality of human life through volunteer community service.

Rotary Vision: To be the pre-eminent community service organization for business and community leaders in the City of Houston. We are a catalyst for improving the quality of life in our community. We pledge to increase awareness of Rotary ideals while encouraging participation within our Club and by partnership with others. Rotary meetings and events provide our membership an opportunity for social interaction, camaraderie and discussion of topical issues.

The Rotary Club of Houston, in operation since 1912, is an association of more than 300 successful business professionals, all prominent in their individual fields of endeavor, who volunteer their efforts through the work of some two dozen club committees that assist such diverse groups as troubled youngsters, former prison inmates, business oriented high school students, families of cancer patients, deserving college scholarship candidates and, through its nationwide college athletic award, the nation's cancer research efforts. The club is a leading speakers forum and a major civic participant in the development of future planning for the City of Houston.

Rotary Motto: Service Above Self
