Together they stood and saved their company when Dr. Bill Picard took over Regal Plastics in 1985 it was bankrupt. He gambled on his own vision and some valuable human resources he identified within the company itself to save the situation. He assembled a busi ness team, motivated them to work together, and together they’ve brought the company back. General Motors stood by Regal Plastics during the dark times and today they are a major supplier of injection molded parts to some 25 plants producing our new cars and trucks. At General Motors we believe that standing behind the people who buy our Chevrolcts, Pontiacs, Oldsmobiles, Buicks, Cadillacs and GMC Trucks is more than just a corporate responsibility—it’s good business. GENERAL MOTORS We never forget 'who’s driving. MARK OF EXCELLENCE
