Paper Stock Companies Form Joint Venture

Canusa Hershman Recycling, Balcones Recycling and Gulf Coast Recycling have jointly formed a new company called Frontier Recycling.

The newly formed company will be based in Dallas, Tex. It will combine the brokerage and plant strengths of each of the partner companies to focus on the expansion of secondary fiber business in the U.S. Southwest, the Southeast, Mexico and Central America. Randy Wolf, from Balcones, will manage the operations.

Jonathan Sloan, president of Canusa Hershman, said, “The creation of Frontier is another step in expanding our presence into a new market through a partnership with experienced and high caliber individuals at Balcones and Gulf Coast. We will be able to use the resources of all involved to compete more effectively and work with an increased number of suppliers and consumers.

Combined, the three parent companies manage more than 100,000 tons of recyclables a month.

Rusty Getter, president of Balcones, said, “Frontier will afford us the opportunity to better serve our Southwest domestic and Latin American mill partnerships. This will be a true ‘one-stop shop.’, not only for significant tonnage, but for a superior level of service, fiber flow management and fiber quality.

Alan Stein, president of Gulf Coast, noted, “The formation of Frontier will enhance our relationship with current customers by expanding the service and supply we now offer from our processing facilities. It will also create new markets for us and in turn allow Gulf Coast to add materials to those we now handle.
