Founded in Northern California in 1983 by Joon Bai, Trans Western Polymers is a leading manufacturer and distributor of plastic products including disposer bags, food contact bags and wrap, reclosable bags, and plastic cutlery and tumblers.

Not only does Trans Western develop products that consumers feel comfortable using in their homes and institutions, we are also focused on providing bags that are durable, yet environmentally correct. The TWP and “Private Label” disposer bag program was developed to meet these objectives, producing better products with less plastic. Trans Western is able to deliver thinner bags that perform better through a combination of state-of-the-art equipment and resin developed in conjunction with suppliers. These partnerships and the utilization of technology have allowed us to produce new and truly superior products.

Our Tamaqua, Pennsylvania facility was established in 1997. This plant operates in order to better service our customers in the Midwest and the Eastern United States.  And, in 2003, our Yanbian, China facility was established in the North East region of China. This facility was built to service our customers in the Western United States.
