Argonics expands into public works market
Company announces immediate availability of three new products for the road building and maintenance industry.
Gwinn, Mich. – April 5, 2010 – Argonics Inc., a leading provider of high-performance urethane solutions for the concrete, conveyor and mining industries, is expanding into the public works infrastructure market. The company is offering its Accu-Rise Valve Box System, Catch Basin Curb Back and Sand and Salt Spreaders through its new Public Works Products Division. According to Bob Welker, Sales and Marketing Manager for Argonics, "Our construction customers came to us for solutions to difficult problems in road maintenance, paving and snow removal. As a result, we’ve spent the last eleven years developing and field testing these products for road improvement projects."
The high-performance urethane in all three products performs consistently better than and is significantly lighter than the traditional forged cast iron and metal product alternatives. Ease of installation, safety and the long-term wear properties of urethane in the Accu-Rise Valve Box System, the Catch Basin Curb Backs and the Salt and Sand Spreaders have already been proven successful in the field and are uniquely positioned to gain public works market penetration.
"The Road, Street and Highway Construction industry is forecast to be one of the better performers in the U.S. economy over the next few years," states Dave Puskala, Chief Operating Officer for Argonics. "According to the American Road and Transportation Builders Association, the value of new transportation contract awards in January 2010 was up 22.8 percent compared to January 2009, to $4.2 billion. A significant portion of those contracts are designated for state and local road projects. We know we offer superior products to this market segment and we look forward to serving cities, towns and municipalities and their contractors with high quality, maintenance-free products which save our public works customers money."
