The conversation provided an opportunity to learn more about the business and discuss ways E-REP and regional partners can continue to support Wabash Plastics and its presence in the Evansville Region.
The visit also included a tour of the manufacturing facility, giving the group a firsthand look at Wabash Plastics’ operations and capabilities.
