"Texas" Injection Molding: why? Why did we decide to call our company Texas Injection Molding? Although the term "Texas" could be used to simply refer to our location, it conjures up images for both Texans and non-Texans that go far beyond a simple geographic location. Texas, which was formerly a part of Mexico, was settled by early American colonists who sought a new life where they could buy vast tracts of land for pennies if they agreed to support the Mexican government, culture, and laws. These pioneers were resourceful, daring, enterprising, and passionately independent. Sam Houston was one of the brave and innovative men who helped shape Texas' character.
