50 special years and growing

Apr 20 2014

In 1963, something special was developing.  Dave Regan told his new wife Sharon, "Stick with me and I'll take care of you!”  Little did Sharon know, Dave had an idea in mind to support his new bride for the rest of their lives together. With her continuous love and respect for Dave, her patience with their three sons, and her devotion to her husband and his business endeavours, the entrepreneur in Dave established the company Plas-Labs, Inc.

After 50 years of marriage together, Dave and Sharon Regan have managed to turn the company into a world leader for acrylic containment and isolation glove boxes. In 1967, Dave began working with major research facilities to develop the original line of Plas-Labs' products. Since then, Plas-Labs' continues to develop new products based on the researcher's needs having worked  with laboratories and research facilities all over the world to develop new products for the latest types of research .

Plas-Labs' list of products include; Anaerobic chambers, hypoxia chamber, nitrogen dry boxes, powder handling glove boxes, desiccators, PCR Chambers and animal equipment.  Today, Plas-Labs' has over 100 distributors worldwide.  

As Plas-Labs draws near to it's 46th anniversary servicing the scientific community, two of Dave and Sharon's kids have stepped in to continue the long success of the business.  Mike Regan, VP of Product Development and Custom Equipment, is responsible for the latest in new products and Patrick Regan, VP of Sales & Marketing, helps manage the distributors and oversees the marketing.  

Today, Dave Regan continues his role as entrepreneur, president and CEO for Plas-Labs – and Sharon still travels with Dave all over the world exhibiting the products.
