The company president and owner, Haresh Sashithandandan, made the decision to relocate to Harlingen because of the proximity to the Mexico border. This will allow them to ship materials into Mexico faster and will help in the growth of their business.

Poly SACHI has projected sales to be approximately $4.6 million in 2019, with sales estimated to increase in the following years.

“After searching for a new location to call home, we found that Harlingen and the Rio Grande Valley, would be a great location for our growing company.” Sashithandandan added.

Poly SACHI may receive up to $100,000 through a Job Creation Grant from the Harlingen Economic Development Corporation (HEDC), that will be given on an annual basis over the span of five years. In addition, the City entered into a non-annexation agreement with the company that provides reduction on city taxes.
