## Premix Group's Apple Creek, NC Plant.

The facility, located in Dallas, NC, will use locally sourced raw materials to produce Premix’s advanced [PE](https://www.plasticsiq.com/topics/pe/) and [PP-based](https://www.plasticsiq.com/topics/pp/) compounds and concentrates that can be used in [extrusion](https://www.plasticsiq.com/topics/extrusion/) and [injection moulding](https://www.plasticsiq.com/topics/injection-moulding/) applications. By using these materials, the user should receive accurate liquid level detection and benefit from safer handling, transport, and storage that helps to protect against uncontrolled electrostatic discharges (ESD&Ex). The latter is a critical requirement in the diagnostics, chemical, electronics, and industrial packaging industries.

“These materials enable high-precision liquid level sensing in diagnostic testing, and safer handling, transport, and storage by protecting against uncontrolled electrostatic discharges (ESD) — a critical requirement in electronics, industrial packaging, diagnostics, and other high-performance applications,” said Jaakko Aho, CEO of Premix Group. “Establishing a manufacturing presence in the United States is about more than production — it's about building resilient supply chains and trusted partnerships.”

The electrically conductive plastics specialist will be able to deliver locally manufactured products to the US market with shorter lead times, a smaller carbon footprint, and improved supply chain security. Additionally, the new facility signifies a strategic expansion of Premix Group’s global footprint after being founded in Finland in 1980.
