MacNeil Automotive Products Ltd., an injection molded and thermoformed accessories manufacturing company based out of Downers Grove, IL, is relocating their headquarters to Bolingbrook, IL and expanding a manufacturing facility in the same area, according to Plastics News reporter Lisa Robertson.
The company currently employs 80 people and is expecting to hire more with the expansion. The new facility will also house only American-made machinery.
