Founder
Mike Durina brings over four decades of plastics industry expertise to every barrel repair project at MD Plastics. After earning degrees in Plastic Engineering from Ferris State University and Industrial Engineering from Kent State University, Mike spent 16 years at Spirex, where he grew the company from $1.8 million to $22 million in sales as VP of Sales & Service. This experience gave him deep insight into the critical role that plasticating components play in manufacturing profitability. In 1999, Mike founded MD Plastics to advance plasticating technologies through innovative design and superior engineering. He has been awarded eight patents for groundbreaking technologies including the Melt Profiler™, Inject-EX™ system, and Mini-Shut™ nozzle tip. His disciplined approach combines technical rigor with practical manufacturing knowledge to deliver barrel repair solutions that maximize equipment performance and longevity.
