Thermoplastic valve and pipe manufacturer Asahi/America, Inc. announces the acquisition of Louisiana-based fabrication shop Performance Plastics, Inc. The purchase will aid Asahi/America in expanding its existing fabrication capabilities and capacity, as well as broaden their engineered plastic products and services offering.

Roussel and his staff will add over 25 years of thermoplastics experience to Asahi/America’s fabricated services department. In addition to a fully-equipped workshop for thermoplastic fabrication, Performance Plastics provides a range of project planning services that will complement Asahi/America’s products and training programs.
