Exhibit A Plastics Opens New Bainbridge Facility, Relocates From Coatesville

Exhibit A Plastics held a ribbon-cutting October 22 at its new facility in Bainbridge (Putnam County), almost exactly a year after breaking ground and after relocating from a leased building in Coatesville it had occupied for roughly 24 years. The move came after the Coatesville building's original owner died and the new owner wanted a different direction for the property. The company now employs 36 people, is interviewing to reach 40, and has installed three new injection-mold machines for a projected 20% increase in capacity.

Co-owner Tom Jackson said at the October 22 ribbon cutting, as reported by the Banner Graphic, that the company built rather than closed because "we didn't want to un-employ forty people," a detail that leaves out a supply chain dependency worth knowing. Exhibit A supplies parts to Heartland Automotive, which in turn supplies Subaru's Lafayette plant, making Exhibit A a sub-supplier to a sub-supplier rather than a direct Subaru vendor. The relocation also crossed a county line, from Hendricks into Putnam, landing the company near Heartland's Greencastle facility just as Subaru ramps production of the Forester Hybrid, its first U.S.-built hybrid, which launched in February 2026.
