Emco Ltd., London, Ontario, announced that its Building Products division has entered an alliance with Atlas Roofing Corp., Meridian, Miss., with the primary purpose of developing and producing non-laminate overlay architectural shingles for sale by both parties.
Through this new alliance, Emco is investing in the modification of a roofing machine at Atlas' manufacturing facility in Quakertown, Pa., that will use sophisticated technology to produce overlay (multi-layer) shingles and other high-quality roof products. Emco's Building Products division will be entitled to a percentage of production capacity at the facility and will coordinate its engineering, design and raw material expertise with Atlas' expertise in these areas.
