About Us

Multi-Craft Inc. was founded 60 years ago by four WWII veterans. Each possessed specific skills in different areas . . . metal, leather, plastic and wood. Hence the name Multi-Craft. Over the years, one man – Emil Lachenmeier – with an optimistic vision of the future and a passion for his field of plastics, became the major stockholder in the company and renamed it Multi-Craft Plastics.

We are now in the third generation of ownership. Emil and Grace Lachenmeier’s son, Richard is President and CEO. His two sons, Kevin and Carey, are VP’s of Sales and Fabrication, respectively. They, along with Richard’s wife, Petrice, are working daily to serve our Pacific Northwest customers.

In May, 2006, we celebrated our 60th anniversary in business, with an appreciation for our past achievements and excitement about our future challenges. We thank you for your patronage and look forward to working with you in the future.
