“We are focused on integrating our new Redline Plastics facility in Georgia and welcoming our new team members to our family,” said Nick Murray, President of Redline Plastics. “This acquisition will allow Redline Plastics to continue to grow in capacity and capability by leveraging the equipment, trained workforce, and customer relationships that are already in place.”
