Atlantic Plywood adds Uniboard to product mix
Atlantic Plywood, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parksite, announced that it has expanded its product mix with the addition of Uniboard for the markets and customer base served from Bolingbrook, Ill.
The offering will include an exclusive palette of 24 specifically selected colors of Uniboard’s TFL product line for the architect and design community and millwork shops. Atlantic Plywood said that Uniboard features the latest in color trends and is ideal for retail, residential and commercial applications.
The collaboration is an opportunity to enhance the marketplace with a variety of contemporary choices, while offering superior quality, cutting-edge technology, and a beautiful aesthetic, Atlantic Plywood said.
“We are extremely proud and excited to unite on this comprehensive color palette with the Uniboard brand”, stated Jessica Calabrese, market development manager. “Establishing this collaboration with Uniboard enables us to build on our portfolio of leading brands and offer our customers the highest quality and most innovative products in the industry. This partnership with Uniboard advances our strategic approach to the architectural and design community."
Parksite acquired Atlantic Plywood Corporation, a distributor of industrial wood products and accessories in the Northeastern United States in January 2018.
“The purpose of the acquisition of Atlantic Plywood was to combine the resources of two great companies and expand into areas we couldn’t do separately,” said Ron Heitzman, CEO of Parksite Inc. “Creating one company to deliver product solutions from industrial wood products, to premium surfacing materials to specialty building products will provide customers an unmatched resource in our markets.”
Founded in 1974, Atlantic Plywood now operates 12 distribution facilities located in Connecticut, Georgia, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Rhode Island, Vermont and Illinois.
Parksite was founded in 1971 by John Morrisroe and Ray Biggins. The company is 100% employee-owned.
According to Ron Heitzman, CEO, “Our commitment has been, and will always be, to create demonstrable value for our customers, suppliers, and shareholders. Growth and sustainability is important to all of our stakeholders, and we will deliver both.”
Parksite has 21 locations and over 725 employee-owners.
