Minneapolis, MN -- (ReleaseWire) -- 10/30/2017 --Erik Paulsen visits Diversified Plastics, Inc. as part of a tax reform listening tour to small businesses

Congressman Erik Paulsen (MN-03) recently visited Diversified Plastics, Inc., a custom plastic-injection molder of high-precision thermoplastic components, as part of a small-business tax reform listening tour. The objective of the visit was to learn firsthand how tax reform can help Minnesota businesses and families.

"The research and development (R&D) tax credit provides a savings to companies that require tooling for new products," says Roger Vang, chief financial officer at Diversified Plastics. "This helps companies be more competitive in the United States, keeping manufacturing business from being sent overseas. In addition, tax credits make additional resources available for businesses to buy more equipment and hire more employees."

An employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) company, Diversified Plastics offered unique insight on tax reform. Annette Lund, vice president of Diversified Plastics, led Paulsen and others on a tour of the company's facility where they had an opportunity to speak with employee-owners. A supporter of ESOP companies, the congressman was referred to Diversified Plastics by North Hennepin Area Chamber of Commerce.
