June 8, 2007 -- Macon MS -- Outdoor Technologies Inc, a leading manufacturer of PVC fence, deck and rail products located in Macon, MS, announced an expansion with the addition of an extrusion facility located in Plant City, FL. "As we evaluated our national customer base and future business opportunities, it became clear to us the need to develop a regional OTI extrusion model. Our Florida fencing sales are rapidly expanding as a result of HZ™ high velocity wind zone fence products introduced last year and with the continuation of escalating freight costs, a regional facility in Florida really offered the best service proposition to our customers. In addition to servicing the state of Florida, the new facility allows us easy access to the I-75 and I-95 corridors which supports our expansion plans in the Southeastern and mid Atlantic markets." Said Bob McGrath, VP Sales & Marketing.
Brian Hammerbacher, President of OTI, also added: "We realized the value of a strategic partner and regional extrusion presence in the western market early last year and we're now expanding on that concept on the east coast with the addition of our own 70,000 square foot facility in Plant City. Initially, the facility will be set-up with four co-extrusion lines and a compounding system. Later this year, we will begin extruding fencing profiles, distributing railing RediPak® sections, Liberty™ marine dock and ProCraft™ composite deck products."
Outdoor Technologies is part of Jancor Companies, Inc., a major producer of exterior vinyl products for the home building and remodeling industry. The other Jancor companies include Heartland Building Products and Infinite Building Products which both manufacture vinyl siding, soffit and accessories as well as Survivor Windows and Kensington Windows. According to Dean DuCray, Jancor Chairman, CEO, "We are extremely pleased to announce the new Plant City expansion of OTI. Jancor supports OTI's growth initiatives in this very dynamic industry that is still in the very early stages of development with fencing, decking and railing products."
"Future updates and our grand opening announcement will follow in the very near future."- Bob McGrath
