facility that still houses the
corporate headquarters today. It expanded into a second site in Mukwonago in 2010, establishing a third plant in 2014 in North Carolina to serve its East Coast customers.

The majority of its production is based on polyolefins and PVC. Major markets include rigid packaging and cosmetics.
