Duracast

Dura-Cast started in 1987 when Bruce Orcutt purchased a small rotational molding plastics company in Lake Wales, Florida. What began as a local operation serving agriculture has grown into a regional leader supplying agriculture, aquaculture, marine, food service, and refuse industries across the Southeast and internationally.

Bruce's son David joined in 1992, and together they expanded the company's reach into new verticals while maintaining the core focus on quality rotomolded plastic solutions. The company now operates 12 rotational molding machines and employs a dedicated design engineering team.
