Santa Teresa, New Mexico – JBC International, LLC, a regional plastics recycling company, has established operations in Chaparral, New Mexico. This five-year-old company currently has recycling operations in Juarez, Mexico. Its new plant in Chaparral will collect plastic products and recycle them into usable production inputs for industrial applications. The company plans to hire approximately 12 employees for the Chaparral plant.

According to JBC International CEO Carlos Gonzalez, “Our new Chaparral location is conveniently located next to the industrial bases in El Paso, Juarez, and southern New Mexico. We were impressed with all of the support we received from the New Mexico Economic Development Partnership, the Otero County Economic Development Council, and the Western New Mexico Small Business Development Center. These entities were all extremely helpful in providing business environment, workforce, and economic development incentive information.”

The company has purchased the land and constructed a building for its operations in the Otero County side of Chaparral. It expects to begin operations by early 2011.

JBC International is a plastics recycling company that recycles over 12,000 lbs of plastic daily. Other scrap materials the company recycles include pallet, cardboard, and metal. The company purchases the material, processes it for industrial applications, and sells it to buyers in the region
