Recycler Butler-MacDonald adds capacity
Butler-MacDonald Inc., a recycler of post-industrial plastics, is expanding.
Post-industrial plastics recycler Butler-MacDonald Inc. added a new production line earlier this year, as increased demand it first saw in the early phases of the coronavirus pandemic has continued.
The new extrusion system will boost capacity at its Indianapolis headquarters plant by 28 percent, or in excess of 20 million pounds a year, and allow the company to better handle lighter materials like thin sheets, said Sales Manager Grant Gilmore.
The new production, which came onstream in the first quarter, lets Butler-MacDonald profitably reprocess a wider range of materials and cut lead times from five weeks down to one or two weeks, he said.
