Inside Interstate Plastics

Founded by Galen Klokkevold and Don Salvatore, Interstate Plastics began with a modest 4,000 square-foot facility in Sacramento, California, with little more than a small team, big ambitions, and a commitment to doing business the right way.

The right way

Interstate Plastics was founded on a basic philosophy: that the foundation of any successful business is built with honesty and integrity. That philosophy has guided us to forge lasting relationships between employees, customers, and vendors alike, and formed the basis of the five core values that continue to guide us today: Honesty & Integrity, Passion, Curiosity, Responsiveness, & Continuous Improvement.

Working toward the future

Interstate Plastics is committed to providing sustainable material options to customers. The world is ever-changing, and new material alternatives are discovered every day. We seek out and add new biodegradable, recyclable, or fully sustainable material alternatives to our catalog that benefit not only our customers, but the environment.

Our dedication to sustainability doesn't end there - we are leaders in sustainable practices throughout the many communities we're a part of, implementing and refining many sustainable practices aimed at reducing our environmental handprint and footprint. From scrap sorting and recycling programs, energy-efficient fixtures, and zero-emission equipment and vehicles to sustainable office supplies and more, we're always looking to raise the bar for how a sustainable distributorship should operate, and are working toward our goal of preventing all materials, waste, and in-house products from reaching landfills.

A material solutions provider you can trust

What started as a small local business with a dream of becoming the first privately owned materials distribution firm in Central California has grown into an expert material solutions provider backed by Curbell Plastics' expansive nationwide network and a broad portfolio of advanced materials serving diverse industries. We've served customers ranging from small businesses to Fortune 500 companies, government agencies, and the military. As their partner in material solutions, they trust us to do what is right for them, and rely on us for their material needs in projects from one-of-a-kind custom builds to large scale industrial operations. Our dedication to pairing the right materials with the right applications and serving our customers with integrity and respect has remained the foundation of our success.
