In the third expansion of its facility over the past three decades, the full-scope plastics manufacturer Primex is expanding its production plant and adding a new research and development center this summer.

The $5.4 million expansion will add another 25,000 square feet to the plant on Commerce Drive in Jasper, Tennessee, and add 28 more jobs, primarily in the new R&D center. Primex, which acquired the former O’Neil Color in the 1980s, will grow the plant staff to about 130 employees with its latest addition. Click here to learn more.
