Startup Manufacturer Establishes Corporate Headquarters in Delaware

a talented chemical manufacturing workforce here, combined with an excellent stand-alone site at a location in the mid Atlantic region that provides central access to the waste carpet supply -- all key drivers in our decision to choose New Castle. We plan on expanding this facility with additional production lines before building out our manufacturing footprint nationally. We also have plans to build a site in northern Europe in our five year plan.”

Frank Hurd, Chairman of the Carpet America Recovery Effort, also spoke at the ribbon-cutting. CARE is a joint industry-government initiative to increase the amount of recycling and reuse of post-consumer carpet and reduce the amount of waste carpet going to landfills. According to CARE, the carpet recycling industry is growing, employing more than 1600 people across the United States in 2009.

"We are excited to have MCR as part of the CARE team,” said Hurd. “The company will add significantly to carpet recycling and will be creating jobs and contributing significant dollars for local and state economies. The environmental impact of what they are doing is tremendous. Their innovative technology will allow for a significant increase in the diversion of post consumer carpet from landfills and create new uses for post consumer carpet. It is companies like MCR that will make it possible for CARE to achieve its goals.”
