Plastics News photo by Michael A. Marcotte Dale Evans accepts the Plastics News Processor of the Year award at the Executive Forum in Naples, Fla. Oshkosh, Wis. — To hear Dale Evans say it, the people running Evco Plastics Inc. are simple, humble Wisconsin farm folk — who are in the middle of a $12 million investment to expand in the United States, China and Mexico. Don't be fooled by Evans' soft-spoken demeanor. Evco, which turned 50 years old in 2014, helped pioneer the plastics factory of the future, dubbed the Advanced Manufacturing Plant (AMP), and established a mold-building factory in China — and both big moves came in 1989, well before other plastics processors.
