The company initially produced fishing tackle boxes and later expanded into tool storage, small parts organizers, and industrial shelving. Its product range includes compartmented boxes, drawer systems, and press-fit plastic shelving units. These products are used in maintenance workshops, assembly areas, and stockrooms for organizing fasteners, fittings, electrical components, and tools. The compartmented boxes feature fixed or adjustable dividers, with some models offering up to 112 compartments. They are constructed from plastic and are not electrostatic discharge conductive, making them suitable for general-purpose storage. The shelving units are press-fit stationary designs with corrosion-resistant plastic frames and shelves. Load capacities vary by model, with some shelves rated up to 200 lb. Overall heights range from 48 in to 74 in, and widths from 22 in to 36 in. These shelving systems are used in environments where metal shelving may degrade, such as wash-down areas or humid industrial settings. 3G Electric supplies Plano Molding products as part of its industrial equipment catalog. The line includes 96 SKUs, covering compartmented boxes, small parts storage systems, and plastic shelving. 3G Electric provides logistics support and global shipping, allowing plant engineers and procurement specialists to source these items alongside other industrial components.
