News Releases

PERTH AMBOY, NJ—Englert, Inc. today has unveiled its new web site for LeafGuard, its unique one-piece leaf protection system.
The new web site, www.LeafGuard.com is three times the size of the old site and features much more content, animation and videos depicting in dramatic detail how the LeafGuard system works.

Englert, Inc. today has announced the availability of a new and improved MetalMan  HT Underlayment for metal roofing that is 33 percent  heavier, providing greater resistance to foot traffic and a tougher barrier against costly ice dams and wind-driven rain  sleet and snow.

The new, high temperature 60-mil underlayment features a black, non-woven polyester topside designed for use with metal.

CUSTOMER REQUESTS FOR SPECIAL ROOFING COIL SIZES

The Virginia Field Service Office of Englert, Inc. has  installed a roofing coil reroll line that will allow Virginia to cut and reroll coils to custom sizes requested by local contractors.

Director of Sales Tony Newman said the installation of the reroll system was in response to a growing demand for special quantities in the Virginia market. With the reroll line, the Virginia FSC can quickly provide local customers with coil in small, job lot quantities

Englert, Inc.  has added three new vans to its mobile service fleet, the industry’s only mobile service program for servicing and repairing rollforming machinery.

Englert offers its contractors the industry’s only mobile technical service fleet for rollforming machinery service and repairs.

If a rollforming machine made and serviced by another manufacturer breaks down or needs service, the contractor must load it on a common carrier’s truck and ship it to that manufacturer’s headquarters for repairs. When the repairs are done, the manufacturer will load the machine on a common carrier’s truck and ship it back to the contractor, resulting in the loss of several days’ use of the equipment as well as a much larger service bill.  

UP AND RUNNING AND DOING BUSINESS

Englert’s new Danvers, Massachusetts field service center is open for business.

Danvers welcomed customers with an open house Monday, June 18 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Contractors who attended the open house were given a private tour of the new facility.  Customers with roofing and gutter machines were given complimentary machine tune-ups and special pricing and promotions were offered on metal roofing, gutter products and trim coil. Environmental Products Coordinator Jerry Heininger was on hand to answer questions about Englert’s line of solar roofing and rainwater harvesting products. Juanita Hill of Englert’s Customer Value Team was also in Danvers to answer customer account questions on sales and service.

NEW RETROFITMETAL ROOFING  PROGRAM  REPLACES  WORN OUT ROOFS, OFFERS OPPORTUNITIES TO ADD SOLAR TECHNOLOGIES

Englert has introduced a new retrofit roofing program which offers architects, owners  and builders the opportunity to replace worn out flat roofs and buildings with low and steep sloped roofs with a new metal roofing system.

The new retrofit program gives architects and contractors an opportunity to expand into a new area of business where there is a growing demand. Construction has slowed but the opportunity for contractors and architects to replace aging commercial composition shingle and conventional membranes roofs with standing seam is very real. Public buildings like local, state and federal buildings have to be refurbished and the public funding is generally available for this type  of retrofit.

Our new website blog, the “Metal Roofing Exchange,” has made its debut on our company website and is designed to provide timely, useful information on metal roofing technology to architects and builders.
We’re hopeful that architects and builders who receive the blog will share their own observations on technology and ask questions about metal roofing as well. 

“This is another step in our effort to use the Internet and social networking to reach out customers. Architects routinely use the Internet  to source professional information. We wantto take advantage of  that and create an exchange where we can initiate topics of interest to designers and they, in turn, can respond,” notes Mitch Gaber, our director of marketing.

Englert, Inc., announced the opening of its new Pittsburgh Field Service Center, replacing an existing facility with more loading areas and warehouse space to meet customer demands.

Perth Amboy, N.J.-based Englert Inc. names Tony Newman director of sales for all Englert products.

Newman previously served as Englert's regional manager for the mid-Atlantic region for two years and now will be responsible for the company's entire sales force including its architectural sales representatives.
