    American Plastic Molding
    American Plastic Molding in Scottsburg, Ind., is beginning the new year with a new 900-ton molding machine from Milacron. Acquired late last year, it replaces a 725-ton molding machine that took up the same footprint. Adam Auffart, VP of sales and marketing for APM, says tariffs proposed by President-elect Donald Trump might steer more customers to the shop's mold-making and molding services.
