Plastics News editor Don Loepp sat down with our team to explore a question many in the industry have wondered about since Dennis Tully's passing: What happens to a company when its visionary founder is suddenly gone?
The result is the cover story of Plastics News' 2026 Injection Molders Special Report, providing a case study in leadership continuity, organizational resilience, and lasting company culture.
Among the interviewees are three returning employees (two of whom had retired): mold maker Carl Lemieux, process engineer Peter Wojtas, and operations-executive-turned-CEO John Clark.
As owner Darlene Tully said:
Dennis built something rare here — a company with genuine technical depth, a team that takes on what others won’t, and a standard of accountability that customers rely on.
