AXION receives huge order for 100% composite rail ties

AXION International Holdings, Inc., a leader in recycled plastic and plastic composite technologies used to produce ECOTRAX? rail ties and STRUXURE? building products, announced that a major domestic transit line located in the South Central region, has issued a purchase order for $925,000 of AXION's ECOTRAX? composite rail ties made with 100% recycled plastic and plastic composites. 

    ECOTRAX? composite rail ties were chosen by the existing customer to be used for an annual spot replacement of rotted wooden ties. The decision to continue the purchase and use of ECOTRAX? was a result of proven durability, time efficiency, and lifecycle cost savings over traditional ties, particularly in the various climates of the South Central region. 

    The purchase order will be issued to support two install projects, with the second phase purchase order to be finalized by the first week of January.
