An Evansville plastic fabrication company is closing up shop after more than seven decades in business. Officials with Crescent Plastics, Inc. say that the facility on East Diamond Avenue in Evansville will cease production on December 2nd, and permanently close on Dec. 31, 2022. Crescent started manufacturing operations in Evansville back in 1949, but after 73 years in business, officials say several reasons were behind the decision to close. A news release from the company says that the closure impacts 62 union and non-union employees in the Evansville factory, but that officials are doing what they can to help ease the transition. They say the tough decision to close in no way reflects the dedication and performance of affected employees.
