Cynergy Cargo, a manufacturer of enclosed cargo trailers, held a ribbon cutting ceremony in September for its new facility in the Crossett (Arkansas) Industrial Park.
“We appreciate the way that the state and the Crossett community have welcomed us and shown us outstanding support throughout this process,” Cynergy Cargo owner Vigler Mazariegos said. “Today marks the beginning of our operations in Crossett, and we are excited to celebrate the occasion with the final assembly of the first trailer manufactured here.”

During the event, Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson secured the final screw for the facility’s first trailer.
“Cynergy Cargo 2 was the first company to announce a presence in Arkansas after the pandemic hit,” Hutchinson said. “We are grateful for the company’s commitment and pleased that it is now ready to begin this new phase in its history. I’m honored to take part in getting the first trailer off the assembly line.”
In April, the company announced plans to build the facility and hire 70 new, full-time employees within 24 months. Among the newly created jobs are positions for carpenters, welders and electricians.
