U
niloy Inc. wants
to expand its
blow molding
footprint to
Southeast Asia and Latin
America, as the company
continues to look
for new opportunities
under incoming CEO Gary Riley.
Riley, in an Oct. 21 interview at K 2022,

current business in India, Riley said.
The company is considering producing
machines in Asia and Latin America, if it can
determine that there is enough support on
the ground in both locations, he said. " We
