Atlantis Plastics: Linear Stretch Film Announces a Strategic Capacity Expansion
Atlantis Plastics is continuing with its strategic capacity expansion program and announces the start up of a new production line at its Tulsa, Oklahoma production facility. The new production line became operational in July and represents the third phase of a comprehensive investment program designed to upgrade and add capacity in support of Linear’s value added product lines. The first and second phases, now complete, have resulted in strategic capacity addition through company-wide optimization of all production lines. Earlier in the year, the Company announced the addition of a new production line at its Fontana, California facility.
‘We continue to demonstrate our investment in the stretch film market by introducing state of the art technology and equipment upgrades. The Linear goal is to provide our customers with expanded capability for our ‘Advantage’ product line, which already leads the industry in offering the broadest range of products, conventional and high performance, with the fewest number of SKU’s,’ commented Todd Robinson, Technical Director.
