Cynergy Cargo 2 of Douglas, Georgia, a manufacturer of enclosed cargo trailers, marked the opening Thursday of its new facility in the Crossett Industrial Park.
“We appreciate the way that the state and the Crossett community have welcomed us and shown us outstanding support throughout this process,” Owner Vigler Mazariegos said in a news release. “Today marks the beginning of our operations in Crossett, and we are excited to celebrate the occasion with the final assembly of the first trailer manufactured here.”
The company announced in April its plans to build the facility and hire 70 full-time employees within two years. Cynergy will be hiring carpenters, welders and electricians, among others.
At a ribbon cutting event, Gov. Asa Hutchinson secured the final screw for the facility’s first trailer.
“Cynergy Cargo 2 was the first company to announce a presence in Arkansas after the pandemic hit,” he said in the release. “We are grateful for the company’s commitment and pleased that it is now ready to begin this new phase in its history.”
“The Crossett workforce has always been known for its hard work and dedication,” Mike Preston, secretary of commerce and executive director of the Arkansas Economic Development Commission, added. He also said the state is looking forward to a long-term partnership with the company.
The company began manufacturing enclosed cargo trailers in 2012. Since then, it has sold more than 30,000 trailers in the United States and Canada.
