Area Development
American Compounding Specialties, a plastics company, is moving from its Fowlerville, Michigan site, the Lansing State Journal reports. The company will choose a new location in Livingston County for a thermoplastics processing facility and employ a total of 34 people, adding nine employees when it moves.

"We hate leaving Fowlerville," said company co-owner Randy Rudisill. "They've been wonderful to us."

American Compounding is moving because it could not find a site to accommodate its expansion in Fowlerville. The company has been operating 24 hours a day since the beginning of the year. It will add a fourth operating line and increase production by 50 percent.

Rudisill said American Compounding is seeking tax breaks at its new location, which he declined to disclose.
