HISTORY
Plastic Holdings Limited was a Sydney-based Australian plastics company incorporated in New South Wales in 1936 and, by the time of this 1968 stock certificate, had an authorised capital of $2,000,000 and a registered office at 142 Phillip Street, Sydney. The company was still active as a listed industrial concern in the 1960s. In 1966 its chairman was Professor G. R. Felser, who announced results and dividend policy, indicating the business was established enough to report regularly to shareholders. Later records show the company survived into the early 1980s, when a takeover proposal involving Plastic Holdings Ltd was noted in the New Zealand Gazette, suggesting it remained a going concern for several decades after its 1930s formation.
