Plastic perfection

Flambeau is a world-leading specialist in injection and blow molded thermoplastic components . Through its contract molding and proprietary product divisions , the company offers a wide range of product and tooling solutions to businesses , professionals , hobbyists , and enthusiasts all over the world . Founded by W R Sauey and his brother , Ed , in 1947 , Flambeau made its first injection mold machine the following year and began manufacturing the now infamous Halik Frog fishing lure . The lure was used to fish the River Flambeau in Northern Wisconsin , which was named by a French-Canadian cartographer describing the sun reflecting off the water . The brothers then borrowed the name for their business , hence Flambeau Plastics , as it was once known , was born .
