More than 50,000 vehicles per day pass through Pflugerville 

The average daily traffic count for SH 130 at SH 45 near the Stone Hill Town Center shopping area in Pflugerville was 54,270 for fall 2010, according to the Central Texas Turnpike System quarterly report issued Dec. 10, 2010, by the Texas Department of Transportation.


Since construction began on the new state highways in 2003, traffic use of the roads has exceeded expectations. Traffic has increased annually on SH 130, growing by more than 7 percent to 89,711 average weekday transactions from November 2009 to November 2010.


The Central Texas Turnpike System is a 65-mile stretch of relatively new roadways -- Loop 1, SH 45 and SH 130 -- that enable improved traffic flow, regional connectivity, better access to services and safer travels.

Powder coating is the technique of applying a dry, powder-like electromagnetically charged paint to a part or surface, such as metal or hard plastic, then heating it to melt the powder coating onto the product. Used for countless parts, fixtures, products and machines, powder 

coating creates a hard finish that is tougher and more resilient than that of a wet-paint process.

 

EVS Metal fabricates and assembles custom aluminum, steel and stainless steel parts for the electronics, telecommunications, audio, semiconductor, oil and gas, transportation and medical industries. The Pflugerville location also specializes in complex welded assemblies and frames.

 

With headquarters in New Jersey, EVS Metal has had a location in Pflugerville since 2001 and recently completed a 12,000-sq.-ft. expansion in early 2010. The company, which cites the readily available and talented labor pool and business-friendly community as reasons for locating and expanding in Pflugerville, now employs 82 people at the 48,000-sq.-ft. Heatherwilde Boulevard location.
