Mid South Extrusion will invest $17 million at its facility in Ouachita Parish to install two new state-of-the-art blown film extrusion lines to support growing demand from customers, reports Business Facilities. The flexible film and bag manufacturer expects to create 21 new jobs while retaining 189 current positions.
The additional lines will allow the company to increase production of polyethylene film — thin, lightweight plastic sheeting that is used to seal and protect a wide variety of packaged industrial and consumer products. MSE serves customers in an array of sectors, including agriculture, consumer products, food and beverage, e-commerce and industrial applications.
With this expansion, Mid South Extrusion will operate 14 production lines in 350,000 square feet with more than 200 employees. Installation on the two new lines is underway and are expected to be commissioned by August 2025. Read more.
