<![CDATA[

St. Louis-based NICE Rail Products, a manufacturer of composite railroad ties, has announced plans to begin buiding a plastics recycling facility in that city that could create as many as 82 new jobs. According to NICE, it is proposing to build its Evertrak line of railroad ties, made from recycled plastic and recycled fiberglass, in St. Louis. The company hopes to begin hiring plant during the first quarter of 2018.

“We set out to build a company that sparks greatness in others and is worthy of our collective potential as leaders,” says Tim Noonan, founder and CEO of NICE Rail Products. “We are poised to disrupt hundreds of years of the status quo and do it in way that is good for the planet.”

“This project’s announcement represents new jobs and higher pay for Missouri families,” says Rob Dixon, Missouri’s director of economic development. “We’re working hard to make sure companies want to invest in Missouri, because every company, every dollar of investment and every job helps our state.”

The State of Missouri, Missouri Partnership, St. Louis Economic Development Partnership and the City of St. Louis assisted with planning the project.

 “There is great innovation being developed in Missouri and because of the investment and growth of companies like NICE Rail Products we are becoming known as a leading innovation hub between the coasts,” says Steve Johnson, CEO of Missouri Partnership. “We were honored to be part of the statewide team working with NICE, and we are thrilled to announce the commencement of production by NICE in St. Louis. We look forward to their innovative transformation of the railroad industry.”
