Philip Kamins' House

Mr. Kamins began working in the plastics industry as a Chicago teenager in the 1950s. After moving to California he started his own firm, Kamco Plastics, in 1963. Mr. Kamins combined good business sense with an excellent understanding of people – he was among the industry’s first to offer equity shares as performance incentives for managers. In 1971, he started PMC, a family office, and set the company on a strategic growth trajectory in the chemical and plastics industries before diversifying into other areas including packaging, food service, liquefied natural gas, pharmaceuticals and financial services. Mr. Kamins remains active in the day-to-day operations and strategic growth of PMC.

He owns the two homes next door.
