BROOMFIELD, CO – Yesterday, Governor John Hickenlooper (D-Colorado) joined the Railway Engineering-Maintenance Suppliers Association (REMSA) and its member Encore Rail Systems to tour their headquarters in Broomfield, CO.

Investing in and modernizing our infrastructure nationwide is absolutely essential to our ability to compete in the 21st century economy and combat climate change, and I appreciated hearing their perspective on how we can tackle those challenges.”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Broomfield, CO, May 17, 2019 – Encore Rail Systems, Inc. today officially announced EnduraPlug^TM as the new name for their tie plugging compound, which has been performing in the field for decades.

“We’re proud that the name Encore has become synonymous with the best performing equipment, plugging compounds and service in the industry. After much encouragement from customers and friends in the field, we decided it was time for our tie plugging compound to have a name of its own,” noted Greg Spilker, Encore Vice President and General Manager.

The Encore team collaborated with their marketing firm for the name and logo development. “Our product had been performing in the field for a long time without a name. If we were going to create a name, we wanted to be sure that we did it right, and that we had the input and backing of everyone in our organization,” outlined Spilker. “Together we concluded that EnduraPlug, The Tie Plugging Compound with Gauge Holding Power, properly represented our product and emphasized its greatest value to our customers. In all actuality, EnduraPlug is a name our plugging compound has been earning for decades.”

Encore maintains an inventory of EnduraPlug compound that is ready-to-ship in 5 gallon pails, 250 gallon totes and cartridges for hand applicators.
