MESQUITE, TX (Jan. 19, 2009) - Fritz Industries, Inc. has acquired 101 acres west of Greenville, Texas to expand its Oilfield Chemical Division. A 210,000 square foot facility sits on the property and has been converted to accommodate the storage, transloading and resin coating of oilfield proppants.

The location has the ability to accommodate intense truck traffic with diesel refueling and a truck wash station. Fritz Industries is finalizing a contract with a third party for the on-site location of a bulk transport trucking terminal offering immediate access to bulk trucking services. In addition, this location has an on-site freight rail terminal, for shipping and receiving of bulk goods throughout the nation's rail system.

The latest addition of the Greenville plant now yields Fritz Industries over 600,000 square feet of production space spanning across ten buildings in Mesquite and Greenville.
