FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
BOLDER INDUSTRIES | MARYVILLE TRAIN 2 GROUND-BREAKING
June 19, 2020, Maryville, Missouri--Bolder Industries, the manufacturer of the key ingredient for sustainable plastics and rubber products hosted a ground-breaking ceremony at their manufacturing plant in Maryville, Missouri this week to celebrate their manufacturing expansion which enables them to produce 2.5x BolderBlack®.
Tony Wibbeler, CEO and Nate Murphy, CTO, in quarantine near the Missouri plant to keep operations safe and on track, break-ground on the expansion.
BolderBlack is a more sustainable and less expensive alternative to virgin carbon black. The net effect is a ~90% reduction of environmental impact across the board when considering greenhouse gas emissions, electricity, and water usage, and at a lower price. Bolder Industries’ patent-pending manufacturing process offers petroleum-based products another life. In producing BolderBlack, they solve two major environmental problems with one elegant process—resource extraction from waste tires and the creation of a sustainable alternative to carbon black from the resulting carbon.
This $14M expansion for the second line will take Bolder Industries from 24 tons/day (10 trucks) to 60 tons/day (26 trucks). The new project is on time and on budget with nearly 70% of the equipment purchased or contracted and delivery scheduled.
Headquartered in Boulder, Colorado, Bolder Industries has been selected as the Manufacturer of the Year and holds 2 patents related to their tire pyrolysis process. The Bolder Industries Maryville expansion will add 17,000 square feet to the existing footprint.
This expansion also means Bolder Industries | Maryville will be able to offer local, advanced manufacturing jobs in the near future.
