We already feel a huge sense of mission at Priority Plastics. We’ve all been clearly impacted by the recent events surrounding the COVID-19 social distancing and business suspension regulatory actions. Our work force has risen to the challenge.
With plants in various states across the US, we are responding to varying degrees of regulatory guidance – however, Priority Plastics is classified as a “critical infrastructure supplier”. This means our role in supplying packaging products to the food, chemical, cleaning, consumer goods and disinfecting wipes industries is essential to the USA’s safety and security.
