CANASTOTA, N.Y. — Dutchland Plastics has moved its upstate New York plant from Sherrill to a bigger space in the village of Canastota in Madison County.
The company, headquartered in Oostburg, Wisconsin, moved its upstate New York site to a 50,000-square-foot facility in Canastota. The office of Gov. Andrew Cuomo had announced the move back in January.
The company also operates a 200,000-square-foot plastics-manufacturing facility in Oostburg, Wisconsin.

With the expansion, the company plans to create of 42 new full-time jobs over the next two years, Dutchland said in a news release issued Wednesday. It’ll also move the 23 employees from the Sherrill plant to the new facility.
“We are making a major investment in this community because we believe in the people who work and live in this community,” Randy Herman, CEO of Dutchland Plastics, said. “Over the years, we’ve seen the amazing craftmanship and outstanding work ethic this community has to offer. To support future growth our plans are to continue to invest in this area.”
Dutchland invested $2.6 million for capital equipment and to customize the new plant, which was built along the Erie Canal.
Crews started building the new facility earlier this year, and the project received $475,000 in tax credits through the Empire State Development’s (ESD) Excelsior jobs program, Dutchland said. It also used a $1.7 million Restore NY grant, which ESD reallocated for the construction project.
The tax credits are contingent on the company meeting its job commitments.
Dutchland Plastics describes itself as “one of the top five manufacturers of custom rotational molded plastic products in North America.” The company manufactures products that include coolers, kayaks, furniture, tanks, playground equipment, material handling, and specialty equipment.
