Jeco Plastic Products, a designer and manufacturer of plastic pallets and containers for the worldwide printing and automotive industries, recently hosted U.S. senator Joe Donnelly for a tour of its facilities. Donnelly, one of two senators from Indiana, visited Jeco as a stop on his “Donnelly Days” program.

“Donnelly Days” are an ongoing series of events where Donnelly works alongside employees in a variety of jobs and professions in communities across Indiana to gain a greater understanding of the issues most important to Indiana workers.

During his visit to Jeco, Donnelly learned about the company’s efforts to export its plastic pallets to the worldwide printing and automotive industries, as well as Jeco’s role in developing plastic materials for aerospace and military applications.

“Jeco Plastic Products is honored to have been chosen by senator Donnelly to learn about our technology and its role in the global manufacturing process,” said Jeco CEO Craig Carson. “We are grateful for the opportunity Jeco staff and production employees had to show our rotational molding and thermoforming capability to one of our nation’s leaders.”

Other Jeco capabilities include the ability to produce large plastic structural components made with continuous carbon fibers in a variety of engineering thermoplastics. Its production facilities include rotational plastic molding and thermoforming capabilities unique in North America
