ROCKWALL, Texas — A global company known for the manufacture of fiberglass-reinforced plastic underground storage tanks is setting up shop in Rockwall County, marking its first operation in North Texas.
Xerxes, a subsidiary of Toronto-based Mattr Corp; will be leasing an additional 50,000 square feet of space adjacent to Flexpipe at 1351 Corporate Crossing in Rockwall.
Xerxes manufactures market-leading, fiberglass-reinforced plastic underground storage tanks, primarily used within the retail fuel, stormwater and wastewater markets
The Rockwall facility will manufacture HydroChain stormwater management chambers, which are used in underground storage as part of a comprehensive stormwater management system.
“This new Xerxes footprint in Rockwall allows us to leverage our expertise in complex manufacturing to produce our HydroChain chambers in-house,” said Kevin Rayner, Vice President of Xerxes.
Xerxes plans to hire at least 10 additional employees at the new facility.
“The community of Rockwall is a natural fit, as it has proven to be business-friendly in nature and is home to a tremendous talent pool of skilled professionals," Rayner said.
Plans are for the manufacturing center to be operational by late 2024 or early 2025.
