Ambassadors at Mid-South Extrusion

Mid-South Extrusion is another fine example of Monroe and Northeast Louisiana manufacturing. They can build anywhere in our Country, and they continue to choose Monroe. In July, our Monroe Chamber Ambassador meeting will be at Mid-South Extrusion to tour the facility and see their two new improvement projects totally nearly 30 Million dollars in upgrades. You must register to attend and PPE is required for this tour. Wear closed toe shoes and all other PPE will be given to you onsite.

MONROE, La. – Mid South Extrusion (MSE), a family-owned flexible film and bag manufacturing company, is investing $12.5 million to expand production capacity with the addition of two new, state-of-the-art polyethylene extrusion lines at its facility in northeast Louisiana.

This is the second expansion the Ouachita Parish-based company has announced in seven months. In September, Mid South Extrusion announced a $17 million investment for two similar production lines to support growing consumer demand.

“Mid South Extrusion’s rapid rate of expansion illustrates the strength of Louisiana’s manufacturing sector and shows our state’s critical role in the made-in-America supply chain,” LED Secretary Susan B. Bourgeois said. “It is always encouraging to see local, family-owned businesses like Mid South Extrusion grow – especially at this impressive pace. We are thrilled that as the company continues on its path of success and impact, it still calls Louisiana home.”

MSE’s latest expansion is expected to create 12 new jobs at the company’s Jackson Street facility in Monroe. Louisiana Economic Development estimates that the project will result in an additional 26 indirect new jobs, for a total of 38 potential new jobs in the Northeast Region.

The expansion will include installing new manufacturing equipment and modifying the company’s facility to accommodate the weight and height of the lines. The company also plans to build new raw material storage silos and add a new HVAC system.
