Company Meets Growing Demand with Increased Capacity and Fabrication Capabilities
SOURCE AXION International Holdings, Inc.
AXION International Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: AXIH), a leader in recycled polymer technologies used to produce ECOTRAX® composite rail ties/sleepers and STRUXURE® composite building products is pleased to announce today that it has received an $801,000 order from Superior Energy Resources, LLC, a leading distributor in the Marcellus and Utica shale regions, for STRUXURE® laminated mats, AXION's new product line extension within the STRUXURE® construction mat product group. The mats are being produced at AXION's Zanesville facility on new equipment, and they will be installed on natural gas upstream projects across Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia in the next few months.
"We have worked to provide high-value, long-lasting engineered products for our customers," explained AXION's Dave Crane,
EVP for Building Products. "In partnering with Superior Energy
Resources, we have developed several composite matting solutions for oil
and gas drilling projects that offer greater durability than
alternatives, will not absorb liquids, and are easy to transport and
install. Our expanding group of STRUXURE® construction mats are made
from recycled plastic and can be recycled again at the end of their
useful life."
Laminated,
or layered, construction mats are used primarily in oil and gas
upstream projects to support active heavy equipment, and large
stationary items such as water tanks, as well as to build access roads
to the drill pads. Superior Energy's interest in AXION's composite mats
is to expand its current product portfolio for various applications on
shale gas projects that it manages today. Superior Energy's COO Stan Foster
noted that "STRUXURE® laminated mats represent the next generation of
composite matting for the customers that we serve, and it was an easy
choice to partner with AXION, a company that engineers solutions based
on needs in the field."
Superior Energy Resources is an integrated business that services Marcellus and Utica
natural gas shale development through site construction, fabrication
production, water management, equipment rental, site services, and waste
removal. Serving energy companies across the northeast region has been
the key to Superior's growth and success. Adding AXION's composite
mats to an existing line of rig mats, water tanks, hoses, fittings,
steel fabrication, and containment liners is a natural extension to an
already successful value proposition. Superior is expecting growth
from its existing customers, has significant new customer acquisition
plans, and views AXION as a key partner to a profitable future.
"AXION
is forecasting significant growth in demand for our STRUXURE®
construction mats. Our recent manufacturing capacity and fabrication
enhancements are ready to meet increasing demand for our engineered
products," stated AXION's Dave Crane.
