COVID-19 Response

3/17/20

The outbreak and continued spread of the coronavirus (Covid-19) is causing a lot of concern for increased risk associated with raw material supply availability.

​

Currently, we are not aware of any disruption in our ability to maintain adequate levels of supply due to the coronavirus (Covid-19) but know this will change on a part by part basis with some cargo delays from China and Europe.

​

We evaluate each order’s lead-time at the time we receive the order and will give you the date we feel comfortable with at the time of confirmation.

We are in constant communication with our suppliers and will alert our customers as soon as we are made aware of a potential issue involving your product or a change to the delivery status.

We are taking the following precautionary steps to prevent the spread of the virus:

​

• Limiting non-essential visits to customers

• Limiting non-essential visits to our facilities

• No handshaking and to keep reasonable social distance

• Survey of guests for essential visits to be filled out before entry

Mississippi-based company invests in Jacksonville

5/1/18

In March, Booneville, Mississippi-based South Central Polymers, Inc. (SCP) closed on the purchase of Myco Plastics, Inc. (Myco). SCP President and CEO Bud Hanna said, “the company [SCP] was originally planning to expand into another market, but was drawn to Jacksonville by the strength of its existing plastics industry.” SCP will continue to operate as Myco in Jacksonville.

“A driver in the decision to purchase Myco was the talent and tenure of the current employees” said SCP Vice-President and General Manager Joshua Hanna. “Approximately a third of the current employees have worked at Myco for more than 10-years and in April we were pleased to announce pay raises for our people.”

​

Immediate plans by SCP include interior and exterior improvements to their location on US HWY 79. Near-term plans include expansion of the building, investment in additional injection-molding equipment, and growth in employee count.

​

“Jacksonville’s robust plastics industry continues to draw outside investment, and the Jacksonville Economic Development Corporation (JEDCO) is committed to leveraging our position in the market”, said JEDCO Chairman of the Board Darrell Dement. “We look forward to building a strong relationship with SCP and appreciate their investment.”

From FoldAR's Website:

"The FoldAR Pistol Stabilizing Brace is the bottom-line alternative to expensive, ugly, and bulky braces and stabilizers! FoldAR once again steps away from the crowd with this stylized brace. Made in the USA from textured high-glass content nylon, you will not find a better value brace anywhere! Keep your standard buffer tube for a simplified installation process, simply remove your Mil-Spec stock and slide FoldAR's Pistol Stabilizing Brace over the standard Mil-Spec buffer tube and tighten two set screws."
