MCALLEN, Texas — Mission is steadily carving out a formidable footprint in industrial manufacturing, anchoring a string of high-impact economic development projects headlined by a landmark $50 million metals recycling and manufacturing plant.
Speaking to members of the South Texas Manufacturers Association (STMA) at the group's monthly meeting at the DoubleTree by Hilton in McAllen, Mission Economic Development Corporation CEO Teclo Garcia outlined how the municipality is strategically "stacking" tier-one manufacturing investments to diversify its regional economic base.
Leading Mission’s industrial surge, Garcia said, is Zerluma, an advanced metals recycling and manufacturing company backed by Mexico-based Grupo Century Recycling. The company recently broke ground on a state-of-the-art $50 million facility located at 300 Trinity Street, near South Conway Avenue and the Mission Hike and Bike Trail.
Here is a video recording of Garcia’s presentation to the STMA members:
