Lanier: Expansion of plant and additional extrusion line
Lanier Color Co (which specializes in making coloured polyvinyl chloride compounds) is investing US$500,000 in expanding its production unit in Gainesville, GA by 5000 sq ft. A 5th extrusion line in the new extension will increase capacity by 40%. There is now no surplus space at the Gainesville site and Lanier is seeking a 15,000 sq ft site in the Atlanta, GA region. In 2000 Lanier (which also makes acrylic, engineering and other compounds) made US$4 M sales with 33 employees. It expects to register sales of US$6 M for 2001 and of US$8 M for 2002.
