ANGLER CONSTRUCTION was selected to be the Design/Builder on the 725,000 square foot Resin Packaging Facility for Packwell. Angler Construction worked with Packwell’s senior leadership team to design a best-in-class facility on a site strategically selected based on its proximity to one of Houston’s largest ports, allowing them to efficiently package plastic pellets for the export market.

The Port of Houston raised a plot of raw land to an elevation that was development ready. Angler Construction, Powers Brown Architecture, Cobb Fendley, Advanced Rail Solutions, and BNR Engineering worked with Packwell to bring their project vision to reality. The facility will have the capacity to package 700+ rail cars monthly, roof height increases in strategic locations for packaging equipment, trailer storage, and numerous dock doors for loading into 40’ export containers and will be ready for operation in the 1st Quarter of 2024.

COASTAL ICE & WATER engaged and gave back to its industry customers during the first quarter.

Advocating For Industry Jobs In Texas

President Scott McAlister joined East Harris County Manufacturing Association and Texas Chemical Council leaders visiting elected officials in Austin where McAlister told legislators Coastal Ice provides jobs for 39 families because of economic impacts of petrochemicals.

“When a project ends, if there is not another job coming, contractors move to jobs in other states,” McAlister told legislators in support of economic development incentives to grow Texas jobs.

“I am humbled and honored to join petrochemical leaders to help grow an industry that provides for our families,” McAlister added. McAlister was joined by Vice President of Sales Monica Beynaerts as TCC members visited some 70 elected officials during Chemistry Day at the Capitol.

SUPPORTING INDUSTRY DIVERSITY, EQUITY & INCLUSION

Coastal Ice supported industry values – safety, community outreach and workforce development, with emphasis on diversity, equity and inclusion, as presenting sponsor of a luncheon featuring Kate Lightfoot, site leader, ExxonMobil in Baytown.

Lightfoot encouraged an audience of 480 mostly women to blaze their own path with commitment and to be unapologetic about managing a career as a woman.

“As a woman-owned business, we can pay back our blessings by helping other women and people from underserved communities work in industry,” said president Scott McAllister. “Kate is influential and inspires women with her story.”

Karen McAlister, owner of Coastal Ice and daughter Morgan, as well as Scott and VP of Sales Monica Beynaerts hosted Coastal Ice guests. Beynaerts is vice chair of the committee holding the event.
