ATP de Mexico, S.A., a manufacturing and assembly facility, is an 11,000 square-foot operation where the new company will produce rubber and plastics for Modern Plastic. It will employ about 25 production and assembly workers and house five injection molding machines for the production of Modern Plastic products.
Molds are to be provided to the Mexico facility from the company's southern New Jersey headquarters.
