Star Plastics, Ravenswood, West Virginia, is continuing company growth with the installation of the first of two new twin screw extruders at its North American facilities.
The new addition marks the first phase of a larger investment that will amount to more than $5 million in 2022 as the company commits to major growth within its current market space to support current and future customers.
The new specialty twin-screw extruder, a 75mm Leistritz, is Star’s largest to date, improving production rates and tripling capacity in anticipation of continued long-term growth. The equipment also allows the Star team to increase the breadth of its product offering.
