855

Meadvillle, Pennsylvania-based Tech Molded Plastics, Inc., an ISO 9001:2008 certified injection molded plastics company, has acquired an adjoining facility formerly owned by Trojan, Inc., DIC Tool Division, which almost doubles Tech’s total footprint in the area to more than 92,000 square feet.

In 2010, Tech’s growth included more than $1 million in self-funded improvements in plasticizing technology, computerized monitoring of plastics processes, and training. The acquisition of the co-located production facility includes more than $1.5 million of additional improvements that is being funded locally.

According to the company, Tech plans to prep the expanded production space for specialized molding capabilities in a clean, climate controlled environment for precision medical, automotive, and electronics products. Two new high precision molding machines will be added shortly, with another four to six to follow as the building is modified to support specially designed molding systems with cavity pressure sensing technology.

The family owned business currently employs more than 100 people with 28 full- time employees added in 2010 with support from 35 temporary workers. With the facility expansion in place for 2011, Tech plans to add an additional 27 employees in the next few months and convert more temporary workers to full time by reducing short-term employment.
