Representatives from Springfield Plastics, Inc. announced today their intentions to begin a major growth project that includes expanded facilities at the Auburn location and could lead to as many as 65 new full-time positions. Construction will begin in early 2023 with expected completion in 2024. Hiring for the 65 new positions will begin immediately.

“We are so excited to begin this new era at Springfield Plastics,” said Steve Baker, President of Springfield Plastics, Inc. “Our board, executive team, and staff have been working tirelessly to put this plan in place and bring a disciplined approach to our growth plans.”
Tremendous growth in the agricultural industry, specifically within the tile drainage industry, has led to these plans. Over the past several years, Springfield Plastics has expanded to deliver its 100%-virgin-resin made product to a nine-state area and added a second location in Humboldt, Iowa, to service customers farther to the north and west. The staff additions to accommodate growth plans are expected to occur in sales, shipping, accounting, engineering, and manufacturing.
