BUSINESS BRIEFS
 Plymouth Quick Space Warehouse & Distribution
301 S. LIBERTY ST. PLYMOUTH (219) 941-2372
Emeric Szalay, CEO of resin broker Northern Polymers Inc., (NPI) announced that as of May 1, his Plymouth based company has purchased the assets of American Poly, a rotational molder manufacturing portable toilets and based in Zeeland, Michigan. American Poly, a customer of NPI, closed still owing NPI for rotomolding polyethylene powder purchased last year. Even though it is very unusual for a resin broker to buy a molder, the potential of this opportunity could not be ignored. Adding the American Poly business, which sold about 5,000 portable toilets last year, will boost NPI's annual sales from its current $3 to $5 million. NPI sold the Michigan plant and its two rotomolding machines while retaining the firm's molds, tools, inventory and customers list, renaming the business American Poly-Rest.
