Description

The company now known as Dorrie International had its beginnings in 1936 when its parent company, Hicks & Otis Prints, was organized by Fred Hicks and Sam Otis. These two artists sought a means to commercialize their work on a larger scale and started screen-printing designs on vinyl.Hicks & Otis evolved into a coating and laminating company, primarily working with vinyls and fabrics until the 1950s, when it started laminating a new product known as metallized Mylar® to vinyl. This laminated product found its way into the automotive industry; and, by the late 1950s, the mainstay of the company's business was as a tier-II supplier of decorative trim laminates for the automotive industry.Today, as Dorrie International, the company continues to be a worldwide leader in supplying various laminations and coatings for use as interior and exterior automotive trim. Diversification and cutting-edge coating and laminating technology have allowed Dorrie to expand into many other product lines and markets.
