GW Plastics expands its plastics facilities

GW Plastics is expanding thermoplastic, silicone and training facilities at its Royalton, Vermont manufacturing and technology Center

GW Plastics plans to start the 21,000 square foot expansion in late November to accommodate the additional growth of its thermoplastic and liquid silicone Rubber (LSR) injection moulding and medical device contract assembly business.

The expansion will also allow for workforce training and development facilities at its technical and training center, where scientific injection moulding training and manufacturing classes for its employees, customers, and local area high schools take place.

When complete GW Plastics said the expansion will be capable of housing an additional 30 thermoplastic and LSR injection moulding machines and an enlarged Class 8 cleanroom.

Brenan Riehl, president and CEO of GW Plastics, said: “In a year that marks GW Plastics’ 60th anniversary we are delighted to announce this expansion reaffirming our commitment to growing in Vermont while serving the needs of our customers globally.”
