TieTek Expands Production

Company adds Houston, Texas, plant.

TieTek, a manufacturer of composite crossties and a subsidiary of North American Technologies Group Inc., has announced the opening of a new 50,000-square-foot production plant in Houston, Texas.

 

The new facility complements the company’s Marshall, Texas, plant, adding capacity and product flexibility.

 

TieTek says it expects the facility to increase the production of its innovative composite crossties by 50 percent. The manufacturing flexibility of the new plant allows for production of crossties and switch-ties up to 22 feet long. The new products are required to meet the need for both track maintenance and new construction.

 

With three production lines, TieTek will consume 500 tons of recycled plastic and rubber from more 15,000 used tires weekly to produce railroad ties.

 

"TieTek is executing its strategy, expanding its flexible manufacturing capacity and strengthening its customer relationships," TieTek CEO Neal Kaufman says. He adds, "The growth in our customers' businesses is leading to increased demand for high-value, high-performance, environmentally responsible TieTek composite crossties."
