Fortress Iron Moves to Larger Facility to Prepare for GrowthRichardson, TX - June 16, 2008 - In its pursuit to grow, expand and better serve its customers and future customers, Fortress is proud to announce that it has moved to its new Corporate Headquarters and Distribution Center. The beautiful location has nearly 10 times the distribution and storage capacity as well as three times the existing office space, which allows for substantial growth. |

"The increases address the needs in the expansion of both distribution and staff. This move was planned as a part of an aggressive 2008 and 2009 growth initiative to double the size of the company by the end of 2009" said Matt Sherstad, President of Fortress Iron. "Fortress has maintained significant growth through the sluggish economy and sees even brighter growth opportunities on the near horizon." With the introduction of Versai Ornamental Fencing in 2008 and the overwhelming positive response, the need for additional distribution space became obvious. The new versatile and pre-welded fence system adjusts for grade changes and carries a 20 year warranty which quickly separated it from the competition. It immediately became an industry-recognized name and well sought after product. With limited production in 2008, new production lines are being set and considerable increases will be seen in the coming year along with the introduction of Versai Commercial Fencing. The Fortress Railing Division has created a unique niche in the growing outdoor living and decking segments by designing and supplying attractive ornamental iron railing systems that provide beauty, strength and durability for use on any decking surface. The railings are available in a diverse line of decorative iron balusters, a full pre-fabricated railing system and an impressive tempered glass railing system name Pure View™ that provides stunning clarity for capturing views

Fortress will continue to own and operate the existing building that will house a rapidly growing sister company, Oz Post™ (www.oz-post.com). In 2007, Oz-Post™ won Building Products Magazine's Most Value Product award which singles out an elite group of new products each year worthy of special recognition. It was recognized for its pioneering post anchor system for fences, signs and even deck foundations among many other versatile uses. The fascinating technology eliminates the need for concrete as well as the need to dig holes, which drastically reduces installation and clean up time. |
