Injection moulder Evco Plastics has acquired a site in Georgia, USA, and added capacity to its Automated Molding Plant (AMP) facility in Wisconsin.
Evco’s purchase of the Cal 2 plant in Calhoun, located near its Cal 1 site, adds 40,000 sq ft to its operations. It will include a white room and liquid silicone rubber moulding capabilities, to meet demand from its medical and commercial lighting customers.
Cal 2 will also be a food-grade compliant facility and feature highly automated lights-out production. The inclusion of a white room allows for additional medical moulding opportunities, Evco said. The facility is expected to be fully operational by autumn 2021.

Wisconsin-based Evco Plastics Inc. had been renting the 40,000-square-foot facility in Calhoun, Ga., and is now buying it to expand production.
Evco Plastics Inc., a family-owned injection molder based in DeForest, Wis., has purchased a building near Calhoun, Ga., where it will add white room and liquid silicone rubber molding capabilities.
The company had been leasing the 40,000-square-foot building for warehouse space. Evco has an existing molding plant nearby. The opportunity finally came about to purchase the facility, which perfectly coincided with our need to expand our footprint in Georgia to accommodate new work coming in, Kate Bashir, director of strategy, said.
