REG announces start up of its new biodiesel production in Texas

Renewable Energy Group Inc., a biodiesel producer with a distribution and logistics system, welcomed employees at the production start-up of its newest bio-refinery in Northeast Texas on June 28.
A ribbon cutting ceremony marked the completion of major upgrades at the 15 million gallon per year refinery, REG New Boston LLC, which the company acquired in November 2012 after it had been shutdown for nearly four years.
The company added that 22 new full-time employees had been hired since last autumn and the first sale was made to Martin Eagle Oil Co. of Denton, Texas.
No financial details were mentioned.
