TXGN Railway and Synergos close on 28 acres for new structural building material operation

Synergos has officially closed on 28 acres of prime rail-served property at Texas Gonzales and Northern Railway (TXGN), a subsidiary of TNW Corporation. TXGN owns and manages 12 lead miles of track between Harwood and Gonzales, and approximately 67 miles of storage and loop track in Gonzales, Texas.

The company plans to construct a Structural Building Material Operation on the site, with plans to create up to 145 new jobs in the community. The new facility underscores Synergos’ commitment to innovation and economic growth in the region. The project results from a collaborative effort between Synergos, TXGN, the Gonzales Economic Development Corporation (EDC), the City and County of Gonzales, and GVEC. This partnership has been instrumental in bringing this transformative initiative to fruition. Joey Evans, Director of Business Support and Development for TXGN, stated, “TXGN Railway is very pleased to welcome Synergos to Gonzales, Texas. This long-term alliance promises to strengthen the local and regional communities’ economies and growth, and grow our business.”

Susan Sankey, Executive Director of Gonzales Economic Development, says, “We are excited to welcome Synergos to Gonzales, where the commitment to creating 145 phased-in jobs will provide a significant boost to our local economy and workforce. This marks a major milestone in the ongoing efforts to foster economic growth and offer new opportunities for the residents of Gonzales and the region. The vision, leadership, and unwavering commitment of our partners is a vital collaborative effort for community success. Thanks to an entire team involved in getting this across the finish line. We wish everyone great success.”

TXGN, a short line railway that interchanges with the Union Pacific, has played a vital role in the region’s integrated supply chain services since 1992. This alliance emphasizes the commitment of local industries and infrastructure providers to foster economic development. Additionally, the Synergos facility will be rail-served by TXGN Railway, ensuring efficient transportation and logistics support for its operations.

“At Synergos, we are committed to fostering meaningful growth in the areas we serve. Gonzales offers the perfect blend of opportunity to bring this vision to life,” states Rich Gallagher, Chief Executive Officer of Synergos Companies. “This new facility represents more than just an investment in infrastructure; it is an investment in people, partnerships, and the community. We are proud to work alongside TXGN Railway, the Gonzales EDC, and the City and County of Gonzales to create a project that strengthens operations and the community's economic vitality”.

Construction on the facility is expected to begin in the coming months, with operations slated to commence by 2026.
