Synergos Companies has closed on 28 acres of prime rail-served property at Texas Gonzales & Northern Railway (TXGN), a subsidiary of TNW Corp., for a Structural Building Material Operation. The project is a collaborative effort of Synergos, TXGN, the Gonzales Economic Development Corporation (EDC), the City and County of Gonzales, and GVEC (Guadalupe Valley Electric Cooperative).
TGXN owns and manages 12 lead miles of track between Harwood and Gonzales, Tex., and approximately 67 miles of storage and loop track in Gonzales. The new Synergos facility will be rail-served by TXGN, “ensuring efficient transportation and logistics support for its operations,” the railroad said. TXGN, a Class III that interchanges with the Union Pacific (Glidden Subdivision), noted it “has played a vital role in the region’s integrated supply chain services since 1992. This alliance emphasizes the commitment of local industries and infrastructure providers to foster economic development.”
Synergos plans to create up to 145 new jobs in the community. The new facility, the company said, “underscores Synergos’ commitment to innovation and economic growth in the region. This partnership has been instrumental in bringing this transformative initiative to fruition.” Construction on the facility is expected to begin in the coming months, with operations slated to commence by 2026.
“TXGN is pleased to welcome Synergos to Gonzales,”said Joey Evans, Director of Business Support and Development. “This long-term alliance promises to strengthen the local and regional communities’ economies and growth, and grow our business.”
“We are excited to welcome Synergos to Gonzales, where the commitment to creating 145 phased-in jobs will provide a significant boost to our local economy and workforce,” added Susan Sankey, GED Executive Director. “This marks a major milestone in the ongoing efforts to foster economic growth and offer new opportunities for the residents of Gonzales and the region. The vision, leadership and unwavering commitment of our partners is a vital collaborative effort for community success. Thanks to an entire team involved in getting this across the finish line. We wish everyone great success.”
“At Synergos, we are committed to fostering meaningful growth in the areas we serve,” said Rich Gallagher, CEO of Synergos Companies. “Gonzales offers the perfect blend of opportunity to bring this vision to life. This new facility represents more than just an investment in infrastructure. It is an investment in people, partnerships and the community. We are proud to work alongside TXGN, the Gonzales EDC, and the City and County of Gonzales to create a project that strengthens operations and the community’s economic vitality.”
