Decades of Recycled Plastic Expertise
For 25 years, our founder, Nikhil Lall, has been leading GTA Plastics Group, a licensee of The Mainetti Group—the world’s largest hanger manufacturer. GTA is credited with transforming the retail industry in the US and Europe from virgin‑plastic hangers to recycled‑material hangers in 2009.
Over the years, GTA has mastered the science of recycled plastic, successfully Transitioning Major Industries from Virgin to Recycled Plastics
Nikhil brought this depth of knowledge to an outdated wooden pallet industry.
