Incorporated in 1976, East Coast Converters Limited originated to supply flexible plastic packaging to the Newfoundland fishing industry. The company's intent was to have large rolls of plastic, either printed or plain, brought from Ontario and cut, or "converted" into plastic bags, sheets or pouches for the local fishing industry. Hence the name East Coast Converters Limited. Founded by the Hutton family, the company has undertaken major capital investments to the point that since 1984, all manufacturing is performed on site in Mount Pearl, Newfoundland.

The owners of East Coast Converters Limited have extensive knowledge within the packaging industry. The company is part of N. C.
