AmeriMulch, Independence, Ohio, is in the process of opening an additional facility in Carson City, Nev., to serve customers in the western U.S.
The maker of wood-fiber coloring systems is setting up a 2.5-acre location in Carson City that will serve as a sales office, equipment demonstration site, research facility and warehouse.
According to AmeriMulch president George Chase, setting up the new location for its March opening has been part of a busy winter season for the company. Its Ohio and its Nevada employees have also taken quality training classes to prepare for what the company anticipates will be a busy spring mulching season.
The company and its chemist Hariharan Rajaraman also secured a patent for a coloring system to apply to scrap tire shreds to make a rubber-based mulch and playground cover product.
AmeriMulch sees the product as ideal for the playground market, where concerns about CCA-treated wood entering the mulch stream could cause some buyers to shift to the rubber-based product.
