Recycling Today, April, 2004 by Dan Sandoval

Jonathan Sloan, president of Canusa Hershman, says, "The creation of Frontier is another step in expanding our presence into a new market through a partnership with experienced and high caliber individuals at Balcones and Gulf Coast."

Combined, the three parent companies manage more than 100,000 tons of recyclables per month.

"Frontier will afford us the opportunity to better serve our Southwest domestic and Latin American mill partnerships," says Rusty Getter of Balcones. "This will be a true 'one-stop shop.', not only for significant tonnage, but for a superior level of service and fiber quality."

Alan Stein, president of Gulf Coast, notes, "The formation of Frontier will enhance our relationship with current customers by expanding the service and supply we now offer from our processing facilities."
