SALEM, IL — Construction is underway on a new 35,000 square foot facility for 618 Plastics at 154 North Selmaville Road in Salem.

The company’s CEO and Founder is a southern Illinois (Kinmundy/Salem) native, Aaron Robb, who also owns Aaron Robb Trucking. Don Hall is a Kinmundy native and was named President/Director of Operations. Hall has 33 years of experience in this same type of industry during his tenure at North American Lighting.

The multimillion-dollar investment is expected to create about ten jobs when operations begin this summer. The plant will feature five new injection molding machines and will target automotive suppliers along with other industries. Robb is targeting early summer to begin hiring and operations.
