BLOOMER, Wisconsin , June 2, 2014 (press release) – Bloomer Plastics, Inc., a leading producer of custom engineered cast embossed films for the industrial, medical and packaging markets, today announced the completion of a multi-million dollar capacity expansion program designed to address strong demand for its unique polyolefin-based products.
