LONGVIEW, Texas, Jan. 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- INDEVCO Plastics, Inc., a business unit of INDEVCO Group, a multinational industrial company, today announced it has launched operations with the acquisition of its first manufacturing facility in Longview, Texas. In partnership with investment advisory firm, Arion Partners, and with the support of Longview Economic Development Corp., INDEVCO Plastics has committed to make a significant investment to equip the Longview, Texas facility with new, state-of-the-art equipment. 

As the global leader in petrochemical packaging, INDEVCO member companies sell a broad array of packaging to petrochemical companies in over 40 countries.
