Bain Acquires Envision Plastics and Ecoplast

ecoplast nf1Bain Capital, through its portfolio company Consolidated Container Company (“CCC”) has purchased Envision Plastics and Ecoplast Corporation, both plastic recyclers, from their founders Massoud Rad and Parham Yedidsion.

Envision Plastics was formed in 2001 after obtaining proprietary rights and patented technologies from Union Carbide. At the same time, two newly acquired plastics recycling facilities, in Reidsville, NC, and in Chino, California, provided the manufacturing platforms needed for recycled HDPE resin production. The two facility locations also allowed for ease in distribution to customers from either the east or west coast. Envision Plastics is a provider of post-consumer recycled polyolefin resins (HDPE). The company is based in Reidsville, NC  (www.envisionplastics.com).

Established in 1963, Ecoplast Corporation is a supplier of recycled and custom compounded resins. The company is based in Fontana, CA (www.ecoplastcorp.com).
