The gap between New York and Texas just got smaller with the announcement of a prominent New York plastic liner manufacturer's expansion into the heart of Texas.
Aluf Plastics, an industry leader in the manufacturing of custom, retail and private label trash bags headquartered in Orangeburg, N.Y., has just widened its national footprint with the opening of a modern manufacturing and blown-film extrusion plant in Sulphur Springs, Tex."
We've had many accomplishments over the over the years," says Susan Rosenberg, the CEO who's been leading the Inc. 5000-ranked company since 2008. "Our expansion into The Lone Star State represents yet another milestone in the growth of Aluf Plastics. It will expand our distribution to existing clients throughout the Southwest region, while bringing new distributors and retailers into the Aluf family."
The company's foray into the Texas region is expected to bring over 40 new jobs to the area in the coming months. Situated in close proximity to the Dallas-Ft.Worth area and positioned near strategic port areas for potential exporting opportunities, the new manufacturing plant will enable Aluf Plastics to further solidify its longstanding reputation for upholding high quality levels.
"We're pumping in serious capital to bring the plant up to standard," notes David Anderson, Aluf's v.p. operations. "Aluf is heavily investing in high density and low density automation equipment, along with state-of-the-art technology. This ambitious endeavor will give the company capacity for a total of 200 million pounds”.
By reducing shipping costs and increasing the company's capacity and reach across the region, Aluf Plastics will effectively amplify distribution in cost-effective, eco-friendly manner.
Designing cooling rolls is complex, tedious and requires a lot of inputs. Getting it wrong may have a dramatic impact on productivity.

Why am I seeing this?
Dear Plastics Technology Audience Member:
Starting on Thursday August 8, 2024, PT will begin “gating” its premium content, asking all new website users to provide some information about themselves — name, title, employer, email address — before they are provided free access to the content.
We are doing this because the ways PT’s audience finds and accesses our content is changing. Google’s search algorithms, increasingly, make it difficult to connect PT’s content with the people who might make use of it. On top of that, generative AI like ChatGPT is serving up PT content to internet users without attributing that content to PT.
As a result, it has become increasingly important for PT evolve its audience development strategy and learn as much as possible about who is accessing our content, what content they are accessing and how they are accessing it.
With this audience development strategy, we hope to do two things:
First, we will be better able to deliver directly to our audience the editorial content that aligns with plastics materials, processes and technologies that interest them.
Second, we will be better able to connect the materials, equipment and services our advertisers supply with the audience that is most interested in them.
PT plays a distinctive role and has earned a place of esteem within the focused and specialized industry it serves. Large developments in the media landscape are forcing us to change the way we communicate with our audience. We are confident that our audience values the role PT plays in their professional lives and will join us in this effort to stay connected to them.
We thank you for your continued interest in and support of PT and welcome any questions you might have about the brand’s new content gating strategy.
