Shelby Twp., MI, April 15, 2009—Elite Mold & Engineering, Inc., a trusted provider of quality plastic injection molds and molded products, received its Minority Certification from the Michigan Minority Business Development Council (MMBDC). Elite qualified for certification as a privately held Michigan-based company with at least 51% ownership represented by a documented Native American.

Based in southeast Michigan, Elite Mold specializes in rapid injection molding and low-volume injection molding of high quality plastic parts used in several industries, including the automotive, consumer products, military and medical molding. Elite serves OEMs and their tier-one suppliers, is dedicated to checkbook-friendly quotes within 48 hours, and turns around molds and injection molded parts typically within 1-4 weeks.

Elite Mold & Engineering was established in 1982 by Robert and Joseph Mandeville. After 27 years in business, Robert learned of his Native American heritage and joined the tribe of Little River Band of Ottawa Indians.

"As a certified minority-owned business, Elite is able to compete for work and opportunities specifically designated for minority businesses, ultimately helping to expand our reach to new markets," said Joe Mandeville, President of Elite Mold & Engineering. "Combined with our unparalleled expertise and automotive lineage, minority certification is a distinct competitive advantage."
