Quadrant Unveiled Expanded Facility

Quadrant Engineering Plastic Prod - ucts (EPP) celebrated the recent 75,000 square-foot expansion of its Scranton facility in the fourth quarter of 2011 with a luncheon and tour for its local businesses and dignitaries.

This facility primarily manufactures various grades of polyolefin materials that are used in diverse markets including medical equipment, food processing and packaging equipment, semiconductor manufacturing equipment and a wide range of industrial applications.

This most recent expansion provides additional space to increase production of Quadrant’s line of specialty polyethylene materials. Growth of these advanced PE formulations drove Quadrant’s desire invest in higher technology green manufacturing that reduces energy usage and waste, helping to make them not only a growing company but a responsible part of the community.

Quadrant President and CEO Glen Steady said, “Our Scranton team has done an exceptional job of continually finding ways to improve our operations. Quadrant’s continued and significant investment in the site and the people is a direct result of the effort and attitude of those who make us a successful business. We’re very proud to be a growing part of Scranton and Lackawanna County.”

Since Quadrant’s 2004 acquisition of the former Poly Hi Solidur’s Scranton operations, there have been significant investments in safety, production and quality. Scranton has become the North American Logistics and Distribution center for Quadrant EPP and recently an OSHA VPP Star applicant - with impressive safety performance. All of Quadrant’s manufacturing operations are ISO9001-2008 registered and many of the products produced in Scranton meet stringent regulatory agency and industry specifications.
