WS Hampshire, Inc. is a plastics manufacturer based in Hampshire, Illinois, operating from a 135,000-square-foot facility. The company traces its origins to the 1890s, when it was formed as The Western Slate Company, and today acts as a custom fabricator of non-metallic materials. Its capabilities include CNC machining, punching, stamping, rotary die work, vacuum forming, and assembly, enabling the production of OEM-quality fabricated components as well as small-volume, make-to-order parts within a job shop environment. These offerings are supported by customized supply chain programs and serve a range of end markets, including Capital Equipment OEMs, Electrical, Heavy Equipment and Vehicle, Primary Metals, Pulp & Paper, and MRO suppliers.

WS Hampshire also markets products under the RYERTEX Composite Laminates and TIMCO Technical Plastics brands. Through acquisitions—Hampshire Specialty Products in 1998, Ryerson Plastics in 2006, and Timco in 2017—the company has broadened its raw-material sourcing and extended its reach beyond its core region. The approach includes substituting traditional materials with alternatives better suited to specific environments to reduce downtime and operating expenses for customers. Taken together, the company emphasizes its ability to accommodate a wide range of shapes, sizes, quantities, and materials.
