Chase Increases Capacity
Chase Plastics announced the completion of a major expansion to its South Bend Central Distribution Center, originally built in 2016. The $4 million addition, which broke ground last year, increases the warehouse capacity by more than 60% with an added 80,000 sq. ft. to accommodate additional storage for more than 9 million pounds of material, giving a total capacity of 206,000 sq. ft. The updated facility improves processing throughput and efficiencies and includes five additional loading docks as well as a new blender, equipment upgrades, and expanded repacking capacity to enhance value-added services such as custom blending, material repackaging, and bulk-out capability. The strategic location of the warehouse allows for the latest cut-off times in the industry, which provides customers more flexibility.

The facility currently employs 12 people. Due to the company’s product line growth and warehouse expansion, it’s anticipated that another 10-12 positions will be added.
