Our industry roots run deep

We know where we’re going because we know where we’ve been.

It was 1988 when W.C. Noonan decided to found Plasticard Products, selling key cards to the hotel industry out of his basement in the scenic community of Arden, North Carolina. Plasticard-Locktech, Inc., today known widely as PLI, formed in 2000 as a result of a merger between Plasticard Products and Locktech, Inc. PLI has expanded its reach and mission a number of times over the years – with the addition of international distribution centers and successful acquisitions of LOC Intl in 2011, the Las Vegas assets of CPI in 2015, PSA in 2016, and Harvard Card Systems in 2018. Throughout the years we have retained many of the gifted individuals who started with us in the early years and those who joined the PLI family as a result of an acquisition.

Today we are arguably the largest gift and key card provider in North America, but we remain very much a family – with a shared commitment to our customers’ success and support of our coworkers’ and employees’ goals and achievements.
