Qualis Engineered Plastics Plans Evansville, Indiana, Manufacturing Operations

08/05/2026
Custom plastics compounder Qualis Engineered Plastics plans to establish operations in Evansville, Indiana. The project is expected to create more than 30 jobs.

The company's new manufacturing facility will be located at 1700 Lynch Road.

“Our investor group saw an opportunity to bring together everything that makes a manufacturing business succeed: industry expertise, sound financial backing and a great location with a long history of plastics production,” said Bill Vieth, Chairman of the Board of Qualis Engineered Plastics. “We’re proud to be local investors putting our resources to work in our own community, and we’re grateful for the partnership of E-REP, the Indiana Economic Development Corporation, and the Evansville City Council in helping us bring a historic manufacturing building back to life. Evansville has the workforce, the infrastructure and the character to support a first-class custom compounder, and we intend to build Qualis for the long term.”

To support the project the Indiana Economic Development Corporation committed up to $400,000 in performance-based tax credits. The incentives are tied to the company's investment and job creation commitments.

“Indiana’s excellence in manufacturing and our commitment to supporting entrepreneurs and small businesses make our state the ideal destination for companies like Qualis Engineered Plastics,” noted Governor Mike Braun. “Today we welcome yet another innovative manufacturer to our robust sector, creating even more high-wage career opportunities for Hoosiers.”

Qualis Engineered Plastics engineers and manufactures custom plastic compounds designed to meet specific customer performance requirements for a variety of industrial applications.
