Royal Outdoor Products, Who We Are
CTB had been producing vinyl products for the agricultural industry since 1982. Because of the company's extensive experience with agricultural-grade PVC, its research and development team designed and patented an interlocking fence system using round posts and round rails. Next they formulated a high-quality, weather-resistant vinyl that stayed beautiful year after year and was strong enough to safely contain horses, thus pioneering a new industry - vinyl horse fencing. From there CTB began experimenting with vinyl decking. The company was located in a rural county with 110 lakes and the idea floated around about developing a vinyl plank for dock owners who were tired of regularly repairing and replacing their docks. In 1987 CTB introduced the Brock Dock brand of vinyl docks. Before long, people were asking CTB if they could use the dock planks as deck planks for their homes. Because of this demand, CTB developed the Brock Deck System for residential decks. In 1997, Royal Group Technologies Limited, a leading manufacturer of polymer-based home improvement, consumer and construction products, purchased the vinyl extrusion manufacturing operations. The new company was named Royal Outdoor Products. In 2006 GGC (Georgia Gulf Corporation) expands its growth strategy with the acquisition of the Royal Group Companies. As a result of the acquisition, GGC transformed itself from a chlorovinyls and aromatics manufacturing company into a fully integrated building products company. Royal Outdoor Products continues to be a leader in the design and manufacturer of vinyl fencing, railing and decking products. Still located in Milford, Indiana, Royal Outdoor Product has a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility. |
