Scientex Bhd will invest up to USD 25 million (MYR 106.2 million) to set up a new stretch film manufacturing plant in Arizona in the United States, doubling its first venture in the West. This endeavour will be undertaken by its newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary, Scientex Phoenix LLC, which will target the north, central and south American markets to take advantage of their anticipated ample supply of shale gas-based resin for raw materials.
