Alro Plastics announces that it has moved into a new 70,000-square-foot facility located at 4670 60th SE, Grand Rapids, MI 49512 (visit alro.com for a map and directions).

The larger, Michigan-based building expands the company’s inventory and processing services. For example, Alro Plastics can now cut plastic sheet up to 6 inches thick x 14 feet wide x 14 feet long and rod up to 14 inches in diameter. Other plastics processing services include extrusion welding, flame polishing, heat bending, gluing and bonding. The facility includes two new additional Onsrud CNC Routers to meet its customer’s per print machining needs. Cut-to-size plastics and next-day delivery is also now available to customers in Grand Rapids.

Alro Plastics began in 1987 in Jackson, Michigan, to provide Alro Steel’s existing customers with a wide range of plastic products. Offering next day delivery and cut-to-size processing, Alro Plastics maintains a large inventory of sheet, rod and tube in standard, engineered and high-performance materials. Alro Steel was founded in 1948 by brothers Al and Robert Glick. Alro is focused on offering cut-to-size metals and plastics with next day delivery to 25,000 customers in North America.

Alro operates more than 70 locations in 12 states and provides a broad inventory of products under the following companies: Alro Steel (relocated to Wisconsin), Alro Metals, Alro Metals Outlet (which it opened in Fort Wayne, Indiana in July), Alro Industrial Supply and Alro Plastics.
