Plastic Enterprises Continues to Invest in New Equipment to Support its Customers


Lee's Summit, Mo., June 26, 2009 - Despite the economic downturn Plastic Enterprises continues to invest significant financial resources in equipment to support its customers.

Over the past eight months the company has installed three IML systems (machine, robotics and molds), one general purpose molding machine, one traditional lid handling system and four process monitoring systems. The necessity for the investments is being driven by significant growth as well as packaging improvements for its customers.

Further investments will be made this year as other packages continue to be downsized by major food processors the company serves. "We are very fortunate to be in a position to continue to invest for our customers", says Chuck Koester - President.
