Last week, Kira and I met with Rupak Kobawala, Senator Bennett and his staff, as well as Mary Catherine from Congresswoman Robin Kelly’s office at Alliance Polysacks in Watseka.
Rupak is one of the owners and purchased the former Uarco building on the west side of Watseka earlier this year. This manufacturing facility has the ability to produce 120 million bags annually. When they become fully functional, they will employ 70 to 75 people and run 24/7.
During our visit, they were printing bags for play sand. Very excited for Alliance Polysacks and the Watseka community.
