For many years, Paragon used hydraulic presses until the advent of the electric injection molding machine. In 1999, the implementation of these new machines reduced our energy consumption by over half because of their technology and efficiency. This allowed Paragon to manufacture its products with more precision while reducing our environmental footprint.  The electric presses are much cleaner and quieter; reducing air and noise pollution in our plant. This ensures a safer environment for our employees. Paragon only uses Virgin High Density Polyethylene in the manufacturing of our products. We have strict specifications our products must meet to ensure that our pails are the strongest, most dependable, and durable products in the market.
