18 March 2010 – Tennessee-based Propex Operating Company, LLC today announced that Opus® Roof Blanket has signed its first stocking dealer, Marvic Supply of Doylestown, Pa. With seven locations, Marvic serves professional residential and commercial contractors from Eastern Pennsylvania to Central New Jersey and Northern Delaware.
According to Opus® Roof Blanket’s Executive Vice President Ralph Bruno, the partnership between Opus® Roof Blanket and Marvic is the first step in strategically positioning the product in the Northeast. “In creating a new underlayment category that is superior to both felt paper and plastic sheeting underlayment, it is critical for Opus® Roof Blanket to partner with market leaders. With 50 years in the industry, Marvic has become known as an innovative, quality supplier of roofing and other building material product lines,” said Bruno. “We are delighted to have a supplier on the Opus team who is so dedicated to the needs of roofers and highly qualified in launching new building technologies.”
Designed to meet the specific needs of the roofing contractor, Opus is the best in the industry for worker safety. According to independent tests, Opus offers the best walking traction of any roofing underlayment, wet or dry. Utilizing technology never before seen in roof underlayment, the one-of-a-kind surface area makes Opus easy for roofers to roll out, snap a chalk line and write on, and its tan color keeps roofs cool on even the hottest days.
“We value our roofing contractors and are pleased to offer them Opus® Roof Blanket as a unique underlayment product that has their safety and efficiency in mind,” said David T. Smith, President, Marvic Supply. “The product has a substantial, real fabric feel to it and is very durable. We think our roofing contractors will benefit from this technology advancement in time savings and long-term performance.”
Marvic will be supplied with Opus® Roof Blanket through wholesale distributor WOLF of York, PA.
