ZANESVILLE, Ohio, Dec. 9, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- AXION
International Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: AXIH), a leader in structural
polymer solutions, including ECOTRAX® rail ties and STRUXURE®
construction mats, announced today that it has received a purchase
order for more than 300 STRUXURE® Heavy Construction Mats from
Spartan Mat, LLC. The order consists of 45" x 16', 18' and 20' mats
that will be sold and rented across the U.S. into civil, oil
and gas projects. AXION has received multiple orders from this
customer in 2014.
The mats are being made on a new assembly line in AXION's
Texas-based manufacturing plant,
which is part of an operational expansion to keep up with
increasing demand for the Company's engineered products.
AXION's Heavy Mats are ideal for temporary support surfaces under
active heavy equipment with tracks or treads in wet and
harsh-temperature environments. STRUXURE® mats have the ability to
maintain structural integrity in wet conditions and are estimated
to last five times longer than hardwood alternatives.
"There is a tremendous opportunity for our STRUXURE® Heavy Mats
in diverse applications across the oil, gas and various civil
infrastructure projects," said AXION's EVP for Building Products
Dave Crane. "Spartan Mat, LLC has been a great supporter of ours,
and we have worked closely with them to strengthen our position in
the industry. Our mat business is growing rapidly, and we have done
an excellent job of expanding awareness, which has led to growing
demand. Many field trials show that our mats outperform hardwood
mats and offer many other benefits over them. We believe our
engineered solutions are going to be utilized even more in both
domestic and international markets and that more purchase orders
are on the horizon."
"AXION has an excellent reputation and is known for its
high-quality products. AXION builds great construction mats that
fill a niche in our matting portfolio. Their mats work very well
for our customers and are increasing in demand," commented
Justin Thelin, founder of Spartan
Mat, LLC. "The expansion of AXION's production and service
capability in Texas will allow
Spartan Mat to generate new revenue. We are pleased with the
relationship, the results we have achieved, and look to distribute
their products to more customers in different markets."

Branch, Mississippi, produces and supplies crane mats,
timber mats, laminated mats and composite mats, all used for

lasting-construction mats to locations and job sites around

and resistant to rot, fungus, insects, and moisture. STRUXURE® mats
