Description

In 1952 two entrepreneurs named Art Whitehead and Gilbert Taylor opened a wholesale distribution center for fiberglass materials and sheet acrylics in Oakland, CA. They named their store Taylor and Art Plastics, which was later shortened to TAP Plastics.From a beginning of wholesale distribution, the business went through many phases and products. What began as one downtown store has evolved into 19 West Coast stores and most recently a web-store.Through all this time the most significant commitment and change was the development of the retail plastics store, The Fantastic Plastic Place. From a wholesale orientation and history with resins, fiberglassing supplies, and various sheet plastic products, we have become the premier retail source for the do-it-yourselfer who enjoys the many home improvement projects that the world of plastics makes available.
