ALLENTOWN, Pennsylvania _ Polymer Contours Inc. is moving from the Allentown Economic Development\u00a0 Corporation\u2019s business incubator to the iconic former A1 Restaurant & Janitorial Supply building at 732 N. Sixteenth St. and Sumner Avenue in Allentown. Polymer Contours President Tyson Daniels purchased the former restaurant supply store in February for $1.3 million. Jeff Barber of Lehigh Financial Group LLC in Allentown arranged the SBA financing for Daniels to make the purchase and outfit the building for the company.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is one of those success stories for the AEDC\u2019s business incubator,\u201d Barber said. \u201cTyson could have left Allentown, but he chose to stay and grow here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Polymers Contours Inc., a full-service injection molding company, was founded in 2009. Daniels bought the company, located in the Bridgeworks Enterprise Center, in 2015. Polymer Contours had one customer and two machines. Daniels has since grown the business to four machines and 35 customers.<\/p>\n

Daniels said he needed more space to continue to serve his existing customer base as well as new customers who keep coming.\u00a0 \u201cWe needed more space for raw goods as well as finished goods,\u201d he said. The industrial building he purchased is 42,000-plus square feet and was built in 1953.<\/p>\n

The business has grown from one part-time person to 9 full-time \u00a0people. Daniels anticipates adding at least 10 more within the first year.<\/p>\n

Polymer Contours specializes in production focused on custom plastic part design\/engineering and full mold design\/build capabilities.\u00a0 It serves various industries including medical, adhesive, HVAC\/refrigeration, packaging, food service, and general industrial.<\/p>\n
