A Bellevue, Wash., recycling company is relocating its corporate headquarters and processing facilities into a Boeing-owned building in south Everett.
Fibres International Inc. has leased more than 49,000 square feet in Building 45-70 at the Bomarc Business Park along Airport Rd. The space previously was vacant.
Fibres International was at its Bellevue site for nearly three decades. Last year, it sold the 5-acre property to Barrier Motors, which is putting its headquarters and a car dealership there.
There are other advantages to the Bomarc building, said John Bauer, a senior associate with CB Richard Ellis, the property firm that represented Fibres International in the lease deal. Unlike at its Bellevue location, the recycling firm will be able to move all its operations indoors, which is more environmentally sound.
The Bomarc building also will be cheaper to occupy than Fibres International's former home.
Fibres International collects, and then sells on the recycled materials market, everything from paper and glass to metals and plastics. Dealing primarily with large businesses, the company has operations across North America. Everett (Washington) Herald
