Scope and Contents of the Collection

The Plasticos Industriales Extrusos, S.A. Collection consists of three photographs of the exterior of the Plasticos Industriales Extrusos plant, engineered to be a model in extrusion plant design, and product literature in Spanish of the Plinex line manufactured by Plasticos Industriales Extrusos.
