EVANSVILLE, IN – (January 23, 2013) – With more than 10 years of experience in the US
and Mexican resin industry Alfonso Vidal has recently started Vidal Plastics, LLC in
Evansville Indiana. This new venture was formed after carefully considering market
conditions, the availability of resin products in this area, and the advantages in logistics
and distribution due to Evansville’s location. In addition, Vidal Plastics, LLC will be
certified as a minority-owned enterprise (MBE), giving it a competitive advantage over
other similar distributors.
Vidal Plastics, LLC sells a wide range of resins, from prime raw materials to recycled
compounds. Products like Polycarbonate, Nylon, Polypropylene, TPE & TPO, ABS, PBT
and blends are available for purchasing from this organization. Vidal Plastics has a long
and diverse expertise in molding, parts design, material selection and industry specific
materials that would help molders, compounders, extruders and OEM’s with their
plastic processing needs.
Alfonso Vidal was born in Caracas, Venezuela where he was raised and in January of
1997 he moved to the United States to complete his BS in Engineering Management
with focus on Mechanical Engineering degree at the University of Evansville, in
Evansville IN. In addition, Vidal completed a MS in Industrial Management from the
University of Southern Indiana.
Vidal worked, for 11+ years, as a Sales Engineer at Omni Plastics, a custom resin
compounder in Evansville. He managed his US territory, international sales and more
specifically sales for a sister company, Resinal de Mexico. Resinal is a joint venture that
brings together US and Mexican capital to target the resin market in Mexico.
Vidal Plastics, LLC is located at Innovation Pointe (suite 207) in Downtown Evansville.
Innovation Pointe is a high-tech business incubator and Certified Technology Park
managed by the Growth Alliance for Greater Evansville.
What about Vidal would qualify him for certified minority status? Is he a naturalized US citizen?
When did a resin peddler that buys for $10 to sell for $11 become a hi-tech business worthy of public support? There is another business in there owned by a minority that buys and sells shoes. It sounds like GAGE is running a housing project for minority companies when they aren’t cuddling up to people like the Earthcare Energy boys.
Not sure why one’s minority status matters, but I wish this man all the best of luck in his business endeavors.
