Company to offer broader product line throughout North America
PITTSBURGH, April 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Pittsburgh-based
L.B. Foster Company (NASDAQ:FSTR) has announced that it recently
signed a contract with Chaparral Steel Company (NASDAQ:CHAP) to
extend its previous agreement to distribute their extensive line of
steel piling products. Stan Baucum, General Sales Manager for
Chaparral, expects an already strong relationship between the two
companies to grow more so with this new agreement. Per Baucum, "We
have enjoyed a long and profitable relationship with L.B. Foster.
They are an effective sales and marketing partner to the
engineering and contractor base that specifies and uses our sheet
piling and H-beam piling throughout North America. As Chaparral
expands its availability of sizes and types of piling, we will look
to L.B. Foster to aggressively market and sell those products."
Through its North American based sales team, L.B. Foster
distributes a wide range of piling products for numerous
infrastructure applications and stocks inventory for immediate
shipment from strategic North American locations. The federal
highway bill signed last summer, coupled with demand for extensive
rebuilding of the levee system in New Orleans and additional
capacity and maintenance-of-way capital spending needs by the
nation's railroads has resulted in increased construction spending.
According to Stan Hasselbusch, President and CEO of L.B. Foster,
this agreement between the two companies ensures a strong position
to participate in these growing market needs. "We believe that the
excellent relationship between L.B. Foster and Chaparral will
become even stronger as we continue to penetrate new markets and
develop applications for their products. This is a core business
for both companies, one that we both expect to substantially grow
over the life of the contract." Senior Vice President, Construction
Products, Don Foster, adds, "The Chaparral-L.B. Foster team is
meeting our nation's growing infrastructure needs by bringing
innovative and cost effective sheet piling to the marketplace. As
an example, the team has introduced a new line of sheet piling
solutions called PCZ(TM). The PCZ(TM) line is the only wider,
lighter and stronger sheet piling section made domestically with
the easy to drive ball and socket interlock. Nationally, feedback
from owners, designers, engineers and contractors has been quite
positive." The company can be reached via telephone at 412-928-3400
or 1-800-255-4500 and through its website,
