Edgetech Broadens Product Offerings

Continuing its expansion of its product offerings, Edgetech I.G. has purchased Nupro Products Inc., manufacturer of muntin end clips for IG units. The clips were available to customers through Edgetech starting May 1. “We are thrilled to announce the Nupro purchase to our customers,” says Mike Hovan, president of Edgetech. “The initiative to purchase Nupro was driven by our unwavering 360 Value Promise to provide innovative, high-performance, turnkey solutions to our customers. The Nupro product offerings help our customers operate more efficiently, enhance product quality and grow in our competitive marketplace.”

Monroe, Wash.-based Nupro began manufacturing muntin end clips for the insulating glass window industry in 1984, revolutionizing the industry with products that replaced traditional pins. Edgetech intends to ultimately move production of Nupro end clips to its Cambridge, Ohio, headquarters by the end of 2007.

Edgetech’s efforts to broaden its line beyond IG technology began in 2005, when it was named to represent the Uvekol glass laminating system by Cytec Surface Specialties. At GlassBuild America in 2006, Edgetech expanded its line again with the introduction of Eco-Coat glass protection coating from Eco Coat Glass Protection Systems of Canada and Form8tor vinyl bending equipment from Uni-Form Engineering of England.
