History

EVCO was certified as a Women’s Business Enterprise, affirming that the company is at least 51% owned, controlled, operated and managed by women and has appropriate structure and strategic business planning and implementation in place. For customers with supplier diversity goals, EVCO qualifies as a certified partner.

EVCO grew its Oshkosh manufacturing campus, adding a completely new facility—the company’s 12^th—and expanding the current building. In total, 120,000 square feet was added between the two additions.

EVCO began a 2 year project to renovate our existing EVCO Plastics – MED facility to transition into our new Corporate HQ. Phase I was completed in 2020 with a new coffee shop, first floor offices, and Welcome Center.

With the inclusion of the 31,025-square-foot expansion to EVCO Plastics – OSHKOSH, EVCO is positioned to meet the increasing demand for large part molding across a wide variety of industries and applications.

EVCO completed a 50,000-square-foot expansion of its MED facility, more than doubling its original size for a total of 84,000 square feet. The expansion tripled the size of the ISO Class 8 clean room, bringing it to 30,000 square feet.

EVCO continues to invest in large part molding by adding an additional 38,000 sq. ft. to EVCO Calhoun, including two 3,300 ton presses. The Georgia facility now boasts 11 presses over 1,000 tons.
