Polymeric Labels, Ltd. expands polymer label operations to Kansas

Lawrence, Kan. – An international polymer label manufacturer is opening its first United States-based operation in Lawrence, Kan. Polymeric Labels, Ltd. makes printed polymer labels for rubber and plastics industries. The Lawrence plant will offer the same services as the current location in Oldham, England. The company is investing $1.5 million in a 14,000-square foot facility in southeast Lawrence near 31^st Street and Haskell Ave. Greg Marlor will be the US plant manager. Polymeric Labels will be looking to recruit experienced people from the local area in the near future to join them moving forward.

“This is a major commitment to the future of Polymeric Labels. It’s been a long time coming and we’re excited to serve customers across two continents,” said Marlor. “Our investment in new equipment, staff and facilities shows we’re committed, as always, to outstanding customer service and the delivery of a brilliant product. We are looking forward to continuing our world class production from the Lawrence area.”

Polymeric Labels has been independently owned by the same family since 1986. The company designs, manufactures, and delivers printed polymer labels that have applications across many industries, including hoses, tires, belts, clothing, rubber mats, and sporting goods.

“Polymeric Labels was looking at the Midwest, as most of their US manufacturing customers are in the region. Lawrence had the available space and a quality of life that appealed to the company,” said Steve Kelly, vice president of economic development for the EDC and The Chamber. “We’re working with leadership there to connect them with local providers for their business needs, everything from metal work to insurance.”

Polymeric Labels is looking to have their US plant up and running in late 2017.
