LEADING FIBERGLASS CONDUIT MANUFACTURER EXPANDING CAPABILITIES

United Fiberglass of America gains key product certifications, moves to new facility and acquires bridge drain company to enhance client services.

Springfield, OH (February, 2011) – United Fiberglass of America (United) has successfully implemented changes that will increase its ability to meet the needs of the markets it supports moving forward through 2011 and beyond. Orchestrated by an innovative leadership team that came to United in 2010, the changes are part of ongoing growth initiatives and a corporate-wide strategy to further enhance client services.

At the center of these changes is United's new Springfield, Ohio facility. Located at 2145 Airpark Drive, this state-of-the-art production and logistics center significantly increases production efficiency, output and storage capacity, updated equipment and greater warehouse space than the company's prior location. In addition, the recent certification of United's fiberglass conduit solutions to UL 1684 and 1684A requirements gives customers added quality assurance and simplifies product specification by eliminating confusion when comparing fiberglass conduit products to those constructed of other materials. Finally, in order to fully leverage its capabilities and meet the growing demand for bridge drainage system solutions, United acquired bridge-drain-systems manufacturer Cortrol Process Systems of Missouri, Inc. of Hazelwood, Missouri, in late 2009 to help streamline its processes and improve its ability to supply customers with comprehensive bridge drain systems in accordance with tight project schedules.

United Fiberglass of America president Gregg Gearhart is excited about the changes his company has made and feels that they have poised United to take advantage of a variety of opportunities he sees coming in the future. "What we're really doing here is redefining what United Fiberglass of America means to our core markets and customers. We want to add value for our customers at every stage of their project; from start to finish. So by expanding our capabilities and enhancing products and services, we're raising the expectations for vendor partnerships throughout the industry."

"This is why we're repositioning the United 'brand,'" Gearhart continues, "we want to be known as the company that makes the best product, but also as the company that provides the best service. Our dedication to this idea can be seen in our day-to-day operations, as well as our newly overhauled website that's geared towards customer convenience with easy-to-use navigation and information. It's tailored to what our clients want to know about our company and what we can do to help them. As our reputation for superior quality and service continues to grow, so will our market share and opportunities for growth."
