DENVER, CO--(Marketwire - April 1, 2008) - ACH Foam
Technologies announced today the addition of new garage door
insulation manufacturing capabilities to its Waukegan, IL; Gainesville,
GA; and new Third Street Plant in Kansas City, KS. With the added
capabilities, ACH is better able to service national garage door
manufacturers in these areas. ACH Foam Technologies supplies garage door
insulation to premier garage door manufacturers in the US, such as
Wayne-Dalton and Mid-America Door.
According to Frank Kiesecker, VP, sales and marketing, ACH's garage door
insulation can be made with recycled material. "Scrap expanded
polystyrene (EPS) generated during manufacturing is ground and can be
incorporated into new EPS products. EPS is easily recyclable and can be
turned into new EPS products or thermally processed into a resin to make
other products such as garden furniture, coat hangers and disposable
cameras," Kiesecker explains.
According to the US Green Building Council, buildings in the US account for
36% of energy use and 30% of greenhouse gas emissions. Using EPS to
insulate garage doors makes garages and homes more energy efficient. A well
insulated garage will help stabilize the temperature in the home, resulting
in reduced energy bills and a more comfortable living environment. ACH's EPS is more environmentally
friendly than urethane and polyisocyanurate because it is recyclable and
contains no CFCs, HFCs, HCFCs or formaldehyde.
ACH manufactures garage door
insulation with high R-values and prides itself on superior customer
service. According to Ross Mesquita, materials manager for Mid-America
Door, ACH worked closely with Mid-America to develop proprietary equipment
to manufacture insulation for Mid-America's new design series. "We have
partnered with ACH for years, because they have always gone above and
beyond our expectations to develop customized design solutions. Now, with
more plants manufacturing ACH's garage door
insulation, we will enjoy shorter production time and shorter shipping
distances -- both tangible benefits for Mid-American's bottom line."
ACH Foam Technologies will be
exhibiting at the International Door Association Expo April 22-28 at the
Las Vegas Convention Center, Las Vegas at Booth # 7020. For more
