Blue Star Plastics, a Lexington, Kentucky corporation was founded in 1984 by Roger Storch and Don Keim, both former executives with Texas Instruments. Blue Star Plastics specializes in custom injection molding of thermoplastic components and contract manufacturing of plastic assembled products, with a focus on excellent quality and customer service.
Seventh District Holdings LLC is a subsidiary of Seventh District Capital, which is owned and led by Mr. Ahmad Hamza and his son Mr. Mohammed Hamza. Seventh District Holdings is a family run international operation with business connections in Europe, the Middle East and now the United States. Mr. Mohammed Hamza, Director of Seventh District Holdings will be moving to Lexington, Kentucky to assume leadership of Blue Star Plastics.
"Investing in Blue Star Plastics fit ideally into our group's investment strategy. They have a strong business concept, a long established successful track record, an excellent customer and supplier base, quality products and a highly professional management team," said Ahmad Hamza. "Lexington, Kentucky is an ideal location for our first venture in the US and one from which we can grow". "Continuing to serve our existing and new customers is our top priority," commented Mohammed. "I am very excited to be involved with a company as well respected as Blue Star Plastics.

Continued growth requires additional investment and the Hamza family is prepared to take the necessary steps for Blue Star Plastics to reach the next level. This is great news for our people, customers, and the Lexington community. Don and I will be staying on in an advisory and training/transitioning capacity up to 6 months.
