Polyplex USA will spend more than $100 million at its Decatur, AL, facility to expand its existing operations by adding a second Thin BOPET film line and increasing capacity for captive resin, the company says in a news release.
Construction is scheduled to begin in the first half of 2021 and production is expected to start by end 2022, the company says.
“This expansion will tap into the growing shift towards local supply in regional markets and pull market share onshore,” says Amit Kalra, president Polyplex USA.
