Meese Orbitron Dunne changes name to MODRoto

Recycling product manufacturer Meese Orbitron Dunne Co. (MOD), based in Ashtabula, Ohio, has announced it has changed its name to MODRoto.

According to the company, building on more than 80 years of experience as Meese and nearly 40 years as MOD, the new name brings the company’s expertise in plastics rotational molding to the forefront while staying true to the MOD heritage companies, Meese Inc., Orbitron Industries and Dunne Plastics. The MODRoto name consolidates several company names and brands to present the company, its products and capabilities uniformly and consistently to a variety of markets, the company says.

“Most recycling professionals know us as either Meese or Poly-TruxR and that they stand for quality and durability,” says Bob Dunne, president of MODRoto. “But not everyone knows our ability to keep coming up with new recycle carts and containers comes from our decades of experience in product design as a custom plastics rotomolder. At heart, we’re really a design and manufacturing team that likes to solve problems with plastics.”

The company is widely known for its 50P-16R rotomolded recycling collection cart line that upgraded canvas and vinyl collection carts.

MODRoto operates 25 rotational molding machines in four plants, fields a team of outside sales representatives who cover the continent and ranks as the 16th largest rotational molder in North America by Plastics News.

The name change is effective April 15, 2015. Product names and model numbers will remain the same.
