Millwood, W.Va. — April 30, 2026 — SStar Plastics is proud to announce that its Millwood facility has achieved two full years without a lost-time incident, marking a significant milestone in the company’s ongoing commitment to safety excellence.
Reaching this two-year benchmark reflects the dedication, discipline, and accountability of the Millwood team. By prioritizing safe work practices, maintaining rigorous training standards, and fostering a culture where safety is everyone’s responsibility, the facility has demonstrated what is possible when teams are aligned around a shared goal.
“This milestone is a direct result of our team’s commitment to looking out for one another every single day,” said Daniel T. McMullen, CEO of the Star Plastics Manufacturing Group. “Safety isn’t just a metric at the Star —it’s engrained in the culture. Achievements like this don’t happen by chance; they’re earned through consistency, awareness, and teamwork.”
