Volt is located outside of Yellville, Arkansas, and manufactures the finest plastic fasteners in the world. This expansion will now give the factory a total of 100,000 square feet, allowing them to expand their current inventory of over 100 million parts to even more. Employing just under 100 people, Volt not only manufactures plastic fasteners which are shipped domestically and internationally, but also builds all of their tooling and parts in house. This results in huge cost savings which is then passed on to their customers. “I want to say thank you to each and every one of you that work here every day and work so hard,” said Heidi Volltrauer, Volt’s COO/President of Marketing and Sales, at the January 7, 2022 groundbreaking ceremony. “I hope you’re all as excited as I am of where we’re going this next year and the years to come. So if I had a drink in hand I’d say, ‘Cheers,’ but that’ll be later. We’ll all be cheering later and throughout the year.” The expansion began in January and should be completed by late summer of this year. With a heritage of growth and hard work, Volt Industrial Plastics is committed to our customers and our future. You are valued. We are innovative and take pride in our company and the products we manufacture. We welcome every opportunity to put our experience, technical expertise and rapid-response production capability to work for you.
