Polar Plastics has been serving the construction, agriculture, packaging, logistics, home improvement, and retail markets with high-quality polyethylene products since 1967. The company is based out of St. Paul, Minnesota where it operates a 100,000-square-foot production facility making products such as stretch film, sheeting, and custom rolls and bags. Headquartered in Little Rock, Arkansas, Revolution is driven by a single mission: to create sustainable plastic solutions that help preserve the environment for future generations. Through its innovative closed-loop system, Revolution markets a wide array of green plastic solutions for the agriculture, construction, foodservice and retail sectors, which it then recovers, cleans and processes into post-consumer recycled (PCR) resin used to make new products such as trash can liners, carryout bags and construction films. Revolution was acquired by Arsenal Capital Partners in July 2019. "The team at Polar Plastics has created a terrific business with deep customer relationships and a reputation for quality products and exceptional service. Their commitment to their customers and their culture of excellence and collaboration are a great fit with our priorities and mission," said Sean Whiteley, Revolution's CEO. "We feel very fortunate that we can add the great people at Polar Plastics to the Revolution family and look forward to learning from them and helping to contribute to their future success. We are confident this combination will strengthen our ability to serve new end markets and geographies with unique closed-loop collections, recycling and PCR-rich manufacturing solutions." "We have enjoyed the role Spell has played as a part of the Polar ownership history as it has successfully transitioned from a family owned business over the last several years," said William Spell, President of Spell Capital.
