R&D Plastics is expanding

R & D Plastics is Expanding

October 8th, 2013

Due to increased demand and the projected growth of our company, we are adding approximately 50% manufacturing/warehouse space as well as new extrusion equipment. The building addition is scheduled to be open for use in early to mid-December of this year (2013) and the extrusion equipment is scheduled for startup mid-January 2014. This state of the art extrusion line will almost double our polyethylene foam profile capacity and, along with the building expansion, will allow for better customer support as well as better manufacturing efficiencies. Both of these endeavors are in line with our business philosophy- reinvest in our people and processes to remain The Low Cost Producer.
