It is the auto supplier’s second facility in the Birmingham area, in addition to Leeds.
EPC is a provider of thermoplastics and thermoset products for automotive, appliances, consumer products and medical industries, including automotive instrument panels and medical products such as test tube holders. EPC acquired the second facility from INOAC in last September and plans to add 10 injection molding machines, ranging in size from 200 tons to 3,000 tons.
Reza Kargarzadeh, president and CEO of EPC, said Alabama is attractive because of the number of customers in the area, including auto manufacturers. He thanked the Birmingham Business Alliance for its help.
