HOLLAND, Mich. – Liberty Plastics, based in Holland Charter Township, Michigan, announced they are expanding. The company, which has been operating at capacity in its current space, is investing $3 million to build out its Holland headquarters and continue to grow in the custom plastic injection molding and assembly business. The expanded operations will result in ten new jobs for production workers and other opportunities.
“West Michigan is a great place to build a strong business,” said Rich Lynema, president of Liberty Plastics. “We have many supply partners and customers in the area that are essential to our continued success.”
Lakeshore Advantage, the economic development organization that navigates growth for employers in Ottawa and Allegan Counties, assisted the company in navigating local resources for its expansion. The 28,000-square-foot project will allow additional space and upgrades for multiple aspects of Liberty Plastics’ overall operations.
“Liberty Plastics delivers key services to a depth of manufacturing businesses in and outside the region and strengthens the local economy” said Jennifer Owens, President, Lakeshore Advantage. “We are grateful to have them here.”
The family-owned company serves a range of industries including furniture, automotive, recreation, agriculture, consumer goods and construction. The expansion adds to the ecosystem of manufacturers in these industries.
Holland Charter Township is supporting this project in the form of a 12-year Industrial Facilities Tax Exemption which was approved on March 16.
“Holland Charter Township is pleased to have Liberty Plastics expand their operations,” said Holland Charter Township Manager, Steve Bulthuis. “Their investment supports the economic health and vitality of the Township and larger community.”
