Plastic Ingenuity, a plastics packaging manufacturer, is expanding its Maumelle facility.
The $2.5 million expansion will add 10 jobs to the company’s plastic food packaging lines and bring total employment at the facility to 60 workers.
“Plastic Ingenuity is thankful for the continued support from the state of Arkansas and the city of Maumelle,” said Jess Mellenthin, Plastic Ingenuity Plant Manager. “This expansion will allow the Maumelle facility to become a larger player in the rapidly growing food segment of plastic packaging. The added space and new auxiliary equipment will increase our efficiency and bring more work to central Arkansas”
Plastic Ingenuity’s Maumelle facility produces a range of plastic packaging for the cell phone and electronics industry along with food packaging for convenience stores and grocery chains.
“Plastic Ingenuity’s expansion demonstrates the value and importance of our existing manufacturers,” said Danny Games, interim executive director of the Arkansas Economic Development Commission. “We must continue to support Arkansas’s manufacturers by providing a trained workforce and the tools needed to grow in our state. We appreciate Plastic Ingenuity’s leadership for their decision to invest in Maumelle and its citizens.”
The Wisconsin-based company located its Maumelle facility in 1993 in the city’s industrial park.
