Our History

The Name Turtle

Tom was given a banner for his office many years ago with a picture of our current turtle. The caption said, “The Turtle only makes progress when it sticks its neck out.” The giver thought Tom spent a lot of time sticking his neck out in various business enterprises. When it came time to name the new company, “Turtle” seemed appropriate because of the environmental concern. But, the original saying didn’t fit, so a new appropriate one was chosen.

Turtle Plastics’ slogan is “Slowly, But Surely”.

See if you can find the mistake Tom made on the original artwork that has been faithfully reproduced ever since!
