Axion International, producer of railroad ties made from 100 percent recycled plastic, has signed a contract manufacturing agreement with Coll Materials that will provide expanded manufacturing capacity located at Coll's Waco, Texas facility. Coll Materials is a fast growing post-industrial and post-consumer plastic recycling company, with offices in Zanesville, Ohio. "We are excited to align ourselves with Coll Materials," said Steve Silverman, Axion's president and chief executive officer. "Their facility in Texas allows Axion to increase our capacity in a strategic location so that we can efficiently service our customers and meet the growing demand for our products. More importantly Coll has a ‘quality first' mentality and is knowledgeable about recycled plastics processing. Our new relationship not only provides us with the necessary short-term capacity we need, but also gives us room to grow." "We are pleased to work with Axion to satisfy their plastic conversion needs," said Brian Coll, CEO of Coll Materials. "Axion's outsourced manufacturing model aligns well with our business model of providing value added conversion services to our clients. We believe Axion has a superior product and we look forward to working more with Axion as their technology grows in popularity in the United States and internationally."
