Products
Residential Products
The Residential Products segment is primarily a manufacturer of metal and resin-based
products used in residential new construction and for home repair and remodeling.
This segment operates 12 manufacturing facilities throughout the United States
giving it a base of operations to provide manufacturing capability of high quality
products, customer service, delivery and technical support to a broad network
of regional and national customers across North America.
We manufacture an extensive variety of products that are sold through a number
of sales channels including major retail home centers, building material wholesalers,
buying groups, roofing distributors, and residential contractors.
Our product offerings include a full line of: roof and foundation ventilation
products and accessories, including solar powered units; postal and parcel storage
products, including single mailboxes, cluster boxes for multi-unit housing and
package locker systems; roof edging and flashing; soffits and trim; drywall
corner bead; metal roofing and accessories; rain dispersion products, including
gutters and accessories; and exterior retractable awnings. Each of these product
offerings can be sold separately or as part of a system solution.
Within our Residential Products businesses, we are constantly striving to
improve our product/solution offerings by introducing new products, enhancing
existing products, adapting to building code and regulatory changes, and providing
new and innovative solutions to homeowners and contractors. New products introduced
in recent years include adhesive roofing applications, electronic parcel lockers,
roof top safety kits, chimney caps, heat trace coils and exterior, remote-controlled
deck awnings for sun protection, and solar-powered ventilation products. Our
electronic parcel lockers provide residents in multifamily communities a secure
receptacle to handle both package deliveries and receipt of other delivered
goods. Our ventilation and roof flashing products provide protection and extend
the life of structures while providing for a safer, healthier environment for
residents. Our cluster box mail delivery products provide delivery cost savings
to the postal service while offering secure storage for delivered mail and packages.
Our building products are manufactured primarily from galvanized and painted
steel, anodized and painted aluminum, and various resins.
Within our manufacturing facilities, we leverage significant production capabilities
which allow us to process a wide range of metals and plastics for our residential
products. Most of our production is completed using automatic roll forming machines,
stamping presses, welding, paint lines, and injection molding equipment. We
maintain our equipment with a thorough preventive maintenance program allowing
us to meet the demanding quality and delivery requirements of our customers.
In some cases, the Company sources some products from third-party vendors to
optimize cost and quality in order to provide the very best and affordable solution
for our customers.
Industrial and Infrastructure Products
The Industrial and Infrastructure Products segment is primarily, but not exclusively,
a manufacturer and distributor of fabricated metal products used in a variety
of end markets such as industrial and commercial construction, highway and bridge
construction, automotive and power generation. We operate 13 manufacturing facilities
and 4 distribution centers throughout the United States and Canada giving us
a base of operations to provide customer support, delivery, service, and quality
to a number of regional and national customers, and providing us with manufacturing
and distribution efficiencies in North America.
We manufacture an extensive variety of products that are sold through a number
of sales channels including steel fabricators and distributors, as well as,
commercial and transportation contractors.
Our product offerings include a full line of: expanded and perforated metal
and plank grating used in walkways, catwalks, architectural facades, perimeter
security barriers, shelving, and other applications where both visibility and
security are necessary; fiberglass grating used in areas where high strength,
light weight, low maintenance, corrosion resistance and non conductivity are
required; and expansion joint systems, bearing assemblies, and pavement sealing
systems used in bridges, elevated highways, airport runways, and rail crossings.
We strive to improve our offerings of industrial and infrastructure products
by introducing new products, enhancing existing products, adjusting product
specifications to respond to commercial building code and regulatory changes,
and providing additional solutions to original equipment manufacturers and contractors.
New products introduced in recent years include customized perforated and expanded
metal to penetrate a range of new markets such as architectural facades for
buildings (museums, sports stadiums and retail outlets) and perimeter security
barriers for protecting critical infrastructure. In addition, we have extended
our transportation infrastructure products into new markets. For example, long-lasting
pavement sealants for roadways are now being installed on airport runways, structural
bearings for elevated highways and bridges have been installed on an offshore
oil production platform, and corrosion-protection products for cable-suspension
bridges are now marketed and sold internationally.
Our production capabilities allow us to process a wide range of metals necessary
for manufacturing industrial products. Most of our production is completed using
computer numerical control ("CNC") machines, shears, slitters, press
brakes, milling, welding, and numerous automated assembly machines. We maintain
our equipment with a thorough preventive maintenance program, including in-house
tool and die shops, allowing us to meet the demanding service requirements of
many of our customers.
Renewable Energy and Conservation
The Renewable Energy and Conservation segment is primarily a designer and manufacturer
of fully-engineered solutions for solar mounting systems and greenhouse structures.
Our solar racking and greenhouse businesses employ a fully integrated approach
with in-house engineering and design, fabrication, and installation capabilities.
We have 7 manufacturing facilities and 2 distribution centers and operate in
the United States, China and Japan.
An integral part of each customer project is the fabrication of specifically
designed metal structures for highly-engineered applications including: racking
for ground-mounted solar arrays; racking for solar installations on rooftops
of carports; as well as commercial-scale greenhouses and canopies. Both the
solar racking and greenhouse projects involve holding glass and plastic to metal
and use the same raw materials including steel and aluminum. Most of our production
is completed using CNC machines, roll forming machines, laser cutters and other
fabrication tools. The structural metal components are designed, fabricated
and installed in accordance with applicable structural steel and aluminum guidelines.
We strive to improve our offerings of products by introducing new products,
enhancing existing products, adjusting product specifications to respond to
commercial building codes and regulatory changes, and providing solutions to
contractors and end users. New products introduced in recent years include metal
framed canopy structures for car washes and pool enclosures, and solar racking
systems for carports and canopies. Our car washes and canopy structures serve
a market preference for light- transparent structures. Solar racking systems
for carports serve as protection for cars from the effects of the sun and intense
heat while providing a renewable energy resource. Similarly, solar racking systems
installed on idle land, such as solid waste landfills, converts such land into
a useful property by providing power generating capabilities.
Engineering and Technical Services
Our businesses employ engineers and other technical personnel to perform a variety
of key tasks. These personnel staff fully-equipped, modern laboratories to support
our operations. These laboratories enable us to verify, analyze, and document
the physical, chemical, metallurgical, and mechanical properties of our raw
materials and products. In addition, our engineering staff employs a range of
drafting software to design highly specialized and technically precise products.
In our Renewable Energy and Conservation segment, drawings are designed, signed
and sealed by licensed engineers. Technical service personnel also work in conjunction
with our sales force to determine the types of products and services that suit
the particular needs of our customers.
