In the late 1980’s Flexahopper Plastics was able to secure a new, larger facility located in the Industrial Park of Lethbridge, AB.

The acquisition of the new plant came with many benefits and upgrades. One of the biggest advantages was the opportunity to have material delivered directly to the facility by rail car and stored right into our silos.
