Southeastern Container Invests $20 Million in Wisconsin Plastic Bottle Plant

---

Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas). Southeastern Container, Incorporated (Enka, North Carolina), considered as one of the largest blow molders of PET bottles in the country, is planning to construct a $20 million plastic bottle manufacturing plant in Beloit, Wisconsin. Construction calls for a 200,000 square-foot building on a 35-acre site north of Gateway Business Park on Interstate 90. This new plant will initially employ 60 people and will be expandable to 700,000 square feet. The design is currently underway with construction anticipated to begin in July 2006 and completion slated for 2007.

Akra Builders, Incorporated, located in Effingham, Illinois, was awarded the general construction contract for the new plant and will handle all of the contracting and actual construction.

In January 2005, Southeastern Container, Incorporated started operations at a new $26 million plastic bottle manufacturing facility in Kings Mountain, North Carolina. The company moved into the existing 300,000 square-foot facility to provide blow-molding operations.

Southeastern Container, Incorporated is a privately-owned company specializing in the manufacturing of plastic soft drink bottles through blow molding and injection molding. The company currently has nine manufacturing plants that supply bottles to Coca-Cola bottlers.
