New Muscatine industry from shell waste gains ground
Muscatine seizes on a novel process to compress button dust and crushed shells into a durable non conductor material. The Pressloid Company plans a two story 150 by 50 foot plant on Fourth Street with 15000 square feet of floor space. Locally sourced equipment and patent protected methods aim to create electrical supplies and dyed products, signaling a national first for the waste by products of pearl button factories.
