IntegriCo producing ties for five Class 1s; plans to open second facility in 2015

Written by Jenifer Nunez, assistant editor

IntegriCo Composites, manufacturer of recycled plastic crossties, is now producing its product for five Class 1 railroads in North America.

 

IntegriCo’s Chief Executive Officer Scott Mack commented, “We are proud to have been selected by some of the largest most important companies in North America in 2014. The railroads recognize that the real value and savings in IntegriCo’s products resides in the elimination of train delays and curfews. Due to the IntegriCo tie’s extended life, the railroads are more profitably utilizing their equipment and deploying their crews. Because IntegriCo’s crossties could easily last more than fifty years, the maintenance-of-way crews’ life is made easier and the CEO of the railroad can reduce the number of curfews for track work. The expense of taking tracks out of service are immense for the railroads and because IntegriCo helps reduce this expense, our railroad ties are driving up our customer’s profitability.”

The company says that due to rapidly increasing demand, IntegriCo is opening a second facility mid-2015 which will quintuple capacity, while searching for its next location(s) to continue its growth trajectory.
