CertainTeed raises volume on metal
Pointing to the increasing popularity of metal roofing in both residential and commercial jobs, CertainTeed acquired the Matterhorn metal roofing brand from Michigan-based metal roofing manufacturer Quality Edge, Inc.
“CertainTeed has seen the value of Matterhorn since the beginning,” said Scott Rasmussen, president of Quality Edge. “We’re honored that CertainTeed recognizes the quality and performance of Matterhorn and we’re excited to make Matterhorn available throughout North America.”
The alliance combines CertainTeed’s strong relationships with distributors, contractors, and builders with Quality Edge’s long standing, 25-year expertise in painted metal building products, the company said.
“Our collective efforts in manufacturing, product development and marketing are expected to accelerate the acceptance of high value metal roofing products by residential and commercial customers looking for a metal solution,” said Tom Smith, president of CertainTeed Roofing.
The Matterhorn brand offers homeowners three architectural roofing profiles – Tile, Slate and Shake – which replicate the color, shadow, and detail of their traditional counterparts while providing the increased durability of metal engineering.
“We look forward to working with existing and new distributor partners and contractors as we launch this initiative to bring a line of the most authentic replication of shake, slate and tile in metal roofing to all North America,” said Fred VanDongen, VP of sales for CertainTeed Roofing.
