AERT Reopens Texas Plant

Company expects to gradually get back to full capacity.

Advanced Environmental Recycling Technologies Inc., a leader in wood composite technology, announced that the company's Junction, Tex., composites manufacturing plant resumed operations today after being temporarily halted by an accidental fire on March 28.

The plant is restarting at 50 percent capacity and is scheduled to increase to 65 percent capacity within several weeks as additional equipment comes on-line.

The plant manufactures primarily ChoiceDek decking material, which is distributed exclusively by Weyerhaeuser Building Materials Distribution throughout the United States and Canada.
