Western Emulsions opens manufacturing facility in Temple, TX
Temple, TX -- Western Emulsions Inc. has announced the opening of a new asphalt emulsion manufacturing plant at an industrial park in Temple, north of Austin. The company manufactures liquid asphalt emulsion products used for roadway construction, preservation, and recycling.
The plant is located near the intersection of I-35 and Loop 363. "Western Emulsions has already proven to be an exceptional corporate partner for our community. The capital investment and rail car traffic alone brings new revenue into our community but they have gone a step further by utilizing Cloud Construction one of our local contractors to complete their project,” said Charley Ayres, Vice President, Temple Economic Development Corporation.
Temple is located in the heart of Central Texas on Interstate Highway 35, connecting with the international markets of Mexico via Laredo and 4 of the largest metro areas in Texas: San Antonio, Austin, Houston and Dallas/Ft.Worth.
“The decision to expand in Temple was made "primarily because of its central location and the ability to distribute to rest of Texas via rail and truck," said Western Emulsions CEO Kevin Trant. The plant will enable the company to better serve the Central Texas region, he said. Western Emulsions has built a new rail spur that runs to the facility.
Tucson, Arizona-based Western Emulsions manufactures and distributes asphalt emulsions used for pavement and recycling. The company was founded in 1977 and currently operates six locations in the U.S. including the Texas facility.
