Dordan Mfg. Co. Inc. is a Midwest based manufacturer of custom thermoformed clamshells, components, blisters, bifolds and tray packaging items.

Dordan Mfg. is a privately held company that is managed and owned by the founding family. Both second and third generations currently work at Dordan and contribute to its' continued success.

Dordan was started by Edwin Slavin in 1961 and incorporated in 1962. Dordan started out as a contract packager that offered skin packaging as well. In the late 1960's early 1970's Dordan got out of contract and skin packaging and started thermoforming. Around the mid 1970's our founder Edwin Slavin retired and moved to Florida. At that time the second generation of Slavin's, Dan, took over the company and started heading in a more advanced, progressive direction. That direction took us into the introduction of CAM/ CNC produced tooling, early utilization of microprocessor based thermoformers and a commitment to outstanding quality.

Dordan continues this tradition by continuing to invest in emerging technologies there by staying ahead of the curve. We feel that this philosophy is what has helped us remain a world class thermoformer second to none. Call us today to find out what Dordan can do for you.
