In 2004, the company sold its Truebro brand and product line and formed Dymotek as a custom injection molder that specializes in liquid silicone rubber and multi-component molding. The company has grown significantly over the years, with a 111% growth in three years and a 62% growth in one year. The company's size doubled from about 50 people to 100. Read More
