Recycled Plastic Railroad Ties Purchased by the US Army

Multi-Million Dollar Multi-Year Contract Awarded to IntegriCo and Atlas Trading International from the U.S. Army Contracting Command – Rock Island for Composite Railroad Ties Made from 100% Recycled Plastics
 
Sept. 17, 2012 - PRLog -- September 17, 2012 - IntegriCo Composites, Inc, a leading manufacturer of high performance plastic composite railroad ties, today announced that their 100% recycled plastic ties won a multi-year, multi-million dollar requirements contract from the U.S. Army Contracting Command – Rock Island.  Atlas Trading International, LLC is the contractor for the award.  The U.S. Army Contracting Command – Rock Island recently placed an initial order for IntegriCo’s composite ties to meet the mission requirement of installing in track stable plastic composite railroad ties with calculated effective life over 50 years in support of the McAlester Army Ammunition Plant.  

Demand for freight transportation is projected to double by 2035. Yet, much of the global aging rail infrastructure is built with wood that requires high maintenance, and the use of chemicals to prevent fast deterioration.  IntegriCo’s ties are proven to last up to four times longer than wood ties in certain environments.  

IntegriCo's VP of Operations, Ken Webber, commented, "IntegriCo is very pleased with the selection of our composite ties by the U.S. Army Contracting Command – Rock Island as it provides further evidence that IntegriCo’s composite ties meet our customer’s high expectations. This contract win follows previous U.S. Army awards to Atlas and IntegriCo, demonstrating our successful track record of delivery and support over the last two years.  We are proud to serve our country’s mission to use longer lasting environmentally friendly railroad ties.”

IntegriCo Composites’ ties exceed railroad industry performance requirements and are installed in Class I, Short Rail and Industrial customers’ tracks in the US, Mexico Canada and India.  The Company’s unblemished in-track performance over the last several years has been a major differentiator, allowing IntegriCo to win several bids alongside Atlas Trading International.  

IntegriCo Composites, Inc. is a fast growing Texas based manufacturer of composite railroad ties, or "sleepers", made from recycled plastics. IntegriCo’s unique and patented processing technology utilizes landfill-bound plastic to create superior performance railroad products.  To learn more, visit: http://www.Integrico.com
