Polyram's $12M Evansville Expansion Puts Pressure on Southern Indiana Labor

Polyram is expanding its plastics manufacturing operation in Vanderburgh County, adding jobs and increasing production capacity for specialized plastic compounds.

If you operate anywhere in that southern Indiana corridor, buying specialized plastics, moving product through Evansville, or competing for maintenance techs, process techs, and controls people, this expansion adds one more employer pulling from the same talent pool. Wage pressure in that region will build over the next 12 to 18 months. It also opens a potential opportunity: if Polyram's output lines up with resin families or compounds you already use, there may be a chance to shorten your supply chain and reduce dependence on out-of-state shipments.
