Aug 19, 2009

NEW LONDON, N.C. —Fiberon®, a leading manufacturer of composite decking, PVC decking and composite railing and fencing solutions, announces a partnership with Russin Lumber Corporation to distribute Fiberon brand decking and railing. Russin serves Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Vermont.

“We are very pleased to have entered into a distribution agreement with Russin,” said Bill Ross, Vice President of Sales for Fiberon. “We like them because of their strong reputation for getting things done. Many talk about what they can do, but Russin has a history of delivering. As this turbulent economy distills the roles of distribution and manufacturing, we find in Russin a partner already well poised to do the unique work of distribution. This competence allows Fiberon to focus our sales efforts downstream, at the contractor and deck builder level where our quality products make sense and add real value.”

“We are very excited about the opportunity to partner up with Fiberon,” said Walter Hock, Russin Lumber Corp.’s Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “Fiberon combines innovation in manufacturing, environmental conservation, marketing and product development to produce what we feel are the highest-quality products in the industry.”

With the PermaTech™ surface innovation for Horizon™ composite decking and the superior Lumenite™ surface for Sensibuilt™ PVC decking, Fiberon offers the latest in technologies to raise the bar in alternative decking products. Both Horizon and Sensibuilt provide contractors and their clients superior stain, fade, mold and scratch resistance and are the only products in the alternative decking industry with a 10-year stain and fade resistance warranty.
