NexPoint to Close Burkville Resin Plant by Q1 2027
Alabama plastics buyers relying on Burkville-made compounds should confirm supply plans as production moves to Indiana.
Updated on Nov. 5, 2026 in Manufacturing
NexPoint Materials plans to close its Burkville, Alabama manufacturing site near the end of the first quarter of 2027, with polycarbonate resin and compound production moving to its Mount Vernon, Indiana operations. Most customers are not expected to be affected, and NexPoint says it will continue serving them with PC, ABS, ASA, PBT and PC blend materials.
Why it matters
The consolidation reflects changes in global resin production, trade flows and market demand, and is intended to align manufacturing capacity more closely with demand. For Alabama manufacturers and plastics buyers, it signals that regional capacity for engineered resins is being concentrated in fewer sites.
NexPoint's announcement targets closure of the Burkville site by the end of the first quarter of 2027, with the timeline set on November 4, 2026. The company did not disclose headcount, production volume or capacity figures for the site or the Mount Vernon receiving operations.
The players
NexPoint Materials
NexPoint Materials is a manufacturer of engineered plastics and resin compounds with operations across the Americas.
The details
Production of polycarbonate resin and compounds will be consolidated at NexPoint's Mount Vernon, Indiana site. A production stoppage and subsequent shutdown activities will follow at Burkville. NexPoint says it is implementing a comprehensive transition plan to prepare Mount Vernon and is communicating with employees about the closure and timing.

Q1 2027 (end of quarter): Planned closure of the Burkville manufacturing site.
Market Landscape
The Burkville closure fits a pattern of resin producers consolidating capacity as global production and trade flows shift, as described by NexPoint itself. NexPoint says it will keep operating its other Americas manufacturing sites, which positions Mount Vernon as the consolidated hub for its polycarbonate resin and compound output.
Alabama manufacturers and suppliers who source polycarbonate or ABS compounds should confirm with their current vendors whether supply continuity and lead times will change as production moves out of Burkville. Operators with Burkville-linked logistics or service contracts should review transition timing with qualified counsel or their accountant before the Q1 2027 closure.
The takeaway
Plastics buyers should treat the Q1 2027 timeline as a planning window and request written confirmation from suppliers about which materials and grades will ship from Mount Vernon. Monitoring whether NexPoint discloses volume or delivery-performance data after the transition will show whether consolidation holds up for customers.
