Luke Mell of Polysol, who is also on the chamber’s board of directors, said the sponsorship was a chance to give back to the community and bring more visibility to the company.

“A lot of people know about Polysol; they see the building, ”he said. “But they’re not really familiar with what we’re doing. So I hope that being a main sponsor just shows a little more presence in the community and gets the word out. And we are actively trying to recruit people to come and work for us.

The company has 20 employees, Mell said, and has grown a lot since moving to Desloge a few years ago. The company manufactures industrial vinyl coatings for a variety of applications.

“As for the manufacture of PVC plastisols, there are several others across the country that do,” he explained. “But we’re definitely a major player now, so we’re pretty proud of that.”
