Indiana plant will be the company’s 3rd new site since 2000.

Injection molderPhoenix Closureshas announced plans for a new manufacturing plant in Greencastle, IN. Located approximately 45 minutes west of Indianapolis and minutes from I-70, the 250,000 sq ft facility will sit on 57 acres of land and is scheduled to begin production in late 2012. Fueled by organic growth, this will be the company’s third new site since 2000.

Phoenix worked with The State of Indiana and the Greencastle/Putnam County Development Center to find a location that met its particular needs. “In addition to meeting our specific manufacturing requirements, the Greencastle site is located near our strategic markets and has potential for growth,” explains Ed Buck, VP of Manufacturing. “The availability of an existing crane bay and rail service made the building a viable option for redevelopment.”

The State of Indiana has offered Phoenix assistance with renovation that will convert this under-utilized property into a food-grade packaging manufacturing facility. The City of Greencastle will provide incentives in the form of tax abatements, infrastructure improvements, and training grants.
