JCM Industries, Inc. ships the water, wastewater and industrial pipe fittings we manufacture in the Texarkana Region all over the U.S. We are often asked why we located here. The answer is that we are centrally located in the U.S., have wonderful weather, a workforce with work ethic, and an affordable cost of power and resource. It is a very friendly and supportive area for manufacturers that are growth oriented and desire long term employees with low absenteeism.

The Four States Region is a wonderful place to live, grow, and raise a family. After moving to Texarkana, TX. from San Diego, CA., I have enjoyed the culture and atmosphere that this region has offered. This is a great place to build a business or a home; hopefully both. I would recommend this area to anyone seeking to relocate to a quiet community with traditional values.

I was born in Texarkana and I have lived in the Texarkana my entire life. I couldn't imagine a better place to live and to raise a family. We live in a growing region with lots to offer, but our greatest asset is the kind, hardworking people of the four states area. I'm proud to call it home.

The region is perfectly located to get to the East or West Coast, the ports of the Gulf of Mexico or to Mexico, so transportation and military readiness is centered right here with the highway & rail proximity to Dallas, Shreveport & Little Rock. Plus we have water, trees, and “Can Do” people ready to grow.

Growing up on a dairy in the Texarkana Region taught me the importance of family, the value of a strong work ethic, the belief in community, and that doing the right thing for the right reason is the right thing to do. After living in West Texas, California, and Southeast Texas, when it came time to raise a family and start a career where there was a lot of potential for business and economic growth, I knew the right place for me was the Texarkana Region.

The people and their ability to work progressively together, toward common goals, is one of the most rewarding attributes of being a part of this region and community. I have witnessed this coming together on multiple regionally-impacted events with a great amount of vigor and success.
