Plastics Company Investing $1 Million to Grow Operations

Relocation and aggressive marketing initiative enable new business opportunities for plastics processor.

 

Butler-MacDonald, Inc., a plastics company headquartered in Indianapolis, recently relocated and expanded its corporate headquarters and processing facilities. The $1 million dollar investment enables the company to expand its collection of recycling services plus meet rising market demand for the recovery of plastic and services it offers manufacturers, prime resin producers and other recyclers.

 

In an effort to gain additional market share and reach a variety of new vertical industries, Butler-MacDonald formed a strategic relationship with Synergy Marketing Group, Inc. The goal is to increase Butler-MacDonald's presence in markets where its recycling services are critical to manufacturers' cost and quality control initiatives. Target markets include the transportation sector such as bulk truck and rail; construction segments that use or manufacture vinyl window and siding; automotive OEMs and parts manufacturers; computer and software manufacturers and distributors; medical device and pharmaceutical manufacturers; and the music and entertainment industry. These are markets where Butler-MacDonald's separation, recycling and contamination removal services can be utilized for separation of plastic parts, pellets or resins that have been intentionally or accidentally mixed together.

 

"We are entering 2005 with experience in recycling industrial plastics few, if any, can match," said Scott Johnson, Butler-MacDonald’s president and CEO. "Success in our business is not measured by the type or amount of equipment you own -- it is determined by expertise and a consistent ability to repeat high quality. This means knowing how to solve specific and complex contamination scenarios. We have processed over 400 million pounds over the last 20 years, honing our processing techniques, earning us a solid reputation for delivering consistent and unmatched quality to our customers. The recent investment makes it possible for us to meet the growing demand for our ability to process a wider array of complex plastic feedstreams."

 

The new 80,000 square foot state-of-the-art facility doubles previous capacity and includes 40,000 square feet of dedicated processing space equipped with concurrent production lines.
