In view of the growing American market demand and the absence of new PET film capacity in the US, Polyplex decided to invest in USA. In 2011, Polyplex incorporated Polyplex USA LLC and set up a green-field facility comprising of a thin PET film line (started in April 2013) and a PET Resin plant started in July 2014 in Decatur, Alabama. In July 2012, the Company has expanded its metallized product range by acquiring the metallized assets of Vacumet Corporation, a fully owned subsidiary of Scholle Corporation.
