New plastics firm eyes Auburn start within week
Poly-Tech Plastics, started weeks ago by defectors from Auburn Plastics, aims to begin production in Auburn within a week and grow to 60 to 70 workers. Led by Raymond Currier, the firm seeks $1.5 million in bonds from the Auburn Industrial Development Authority to expand from 6,000 to 15,000 square feet and buy new machinery. Currier says orders exceed $750,000 and plans include a three shift operation with about 20 workers within weeks, contingent on city help.
