Professional Expands Distribution Capabilities
Professional Plastics, a leading supplier of high-performance plastics, announced it has established a new distribution facility in Angola, New York, as part of the company’s North American growth strategy. This is the second Professional Plastics location to open in Western New York and will provide the space needed for the company to expand upon its distribution and manufacturing capabilities in separate, dedicated facilities.

Professional Plastics has provided innovative material solutions in the greater Buffalo area for over 20 years and its business continues to flourish. The company anticipates steady growth in many of the markets it serves, prompting the significant expansion. "We are strengthening our operations to meet the demands of our customers, particularly in the rapidly growing semiconductor industry where substantial increases are expected for years to come,” said Mark Casey, President – North America.

Creating a Northeast distribution hub demonstrates the company’s commitment to streamlining operations and its ability to evolve with the market to support a rapidly increasing customer base. “Our expansion plans have always been based on where we can best serve our customers,” said Professional Plastics CEO David Kietzke. “The addition of the Angola distribution facility allows us to strategically increase our presence while strengthening our capabilities and relationships with our customers.”

The distribution hub in Angola is the 24th Professional Plastics location and will operate in conjunction with the company’s existing 50,000 square foot East Coast corporate office and manufacturing facility in Orchard Park. The company’s U.S. East operations were established in Buffalo, NY in 2002 with three employees. Today, Professional Plastics employs over 90 team members locally and projects to double that figure in the next three years.
