Our History

 

Plato Management Company was founded in September 1987 by Thomas A. Plato and James C. Plato, as a 50% joint venture partner in Bactec Corporation, with Marubeni Trading Corporation of Japan, for the purpose of producing biological insecticides licensed from the USDA-ARS.  In 1993 Plato acquired Bactec Corporation from Marubeni and in November 1997 the two companies were merged together as a single entity.   The company is now privately held by Stacy E. Plato and James Scott Plato.
