Alside, a manufacturer and distributor of exterior residential building products, announced the opening of its 100th supply center in the United States and the second location in the Pittsburgh area.
"Instead of downsizing and cutting back during these difficult economic times, Alside is expanding and growing our business to meet our customers' needs. Our supply centers are equipped with more exterior building products, trucks and people to better serve the area," said Jerry Burris, president and CEO of Associated Materials, Alside's parent company.
"We have experienced tremendous growth enabling us to expand in 2011, opening new centers in Austin, Texas; Toledo, Ohio; Aurora, Ill.; and Evansville, Ind. Currently, we employ 830 people throughout our supply center organization, with 78 employees added in the last year. The second Pittsburgh location brings Alside's national presence to 100 company-operated supply centers," he added.
Both Pittsburgh-area supply centers stock a full array of professional grade exterior building products, including Alside vinyl siding, insulated vinyl siding and Alside custom-made vinyl windows to meet the needs of professional contractors, remodelers and builders. The new 37,000-square-foot supply center opened January 2 at 3003 Venture Court, Export, Pa., serving the eastern suburbs of Pittsburgh.
