Axion International declared that it has witnessed a considerable growth in its production capabilities.
The company specializes in developing Coll Materials, STRUXURE industrial building materials and Recycled Structural Composite (RSC) technology that facilitate the manufacture of 100% recycled plastic ECOTRAX railroad ties. With intent to expand its output, Axion entered into a manufacturing agreement with Coll Materials at its Southwest location in June 2011.
In order to facilitate Axion’s annual production of about 200,000 ECOTRAX rail ties, the Waco-based production line of Coll Materials is being expanded. The production line will be functional by Q2, 2012.
Axion CEO and President, Steve Silverman said that the company’s rail business has been experiencing significant progress universally, and this new facility will furnish the increasing demand. Following this collaboration, Axion enhanced its rapport with Coll, with the latter operating to cater to the manufacturing requirements of the firm. With the advancement, the firm anticipates being quality oriented. This expansion facilitates recycling of approximately 37M lb of waste plastics, eliminating landfill accumulation.
According to Coll Materials’ CEO and President Brian Coll, the company’s recycling business is being improved with contract manufacturing. Operating with another green company, the company anticipates furnishing the demands and challenges of the products manufactured by Axion.
Axion ECOTRAX ties, manipulated with Axion’s patented formula, prove to be the ideal green solution for the rail industry. This durable product is capable of withstanding wet, extreme, and caustic environmental conditions.
