"Delgard provides Jerith several designs that we do not currently offer, along with a network of dealers that are used to selling high quality alu- minum fence products," said Bruce Schwartz, president of Jerith. "The Aero and the American Series lines will expand our product offerings by adding new designs that are unique in the fence industry. We couldn't be hap- pier about adding Delgard's customers and products to the Jerith line." Both Delgard and Jerith produce residential (5/8" square picket), com- mercial (3/4" square picket), and in- dustrial (1" square picket) aluminum fences, which will make the combina- tion of those products straightforward, Schwartz said. "Delgard's unique fence designs use 1" x 5/8" rectangu- lar pickets to produce an 8 foot long (Aero) and 6 foot long (American Se- ries) section. Jerith did not have any- thing comparable to these lines before the acquisition," he noted. Because of the close proximity of the two fence manufacturers' opera- tions, Delgard's 300,000 square foot plant will be consolidated into the Jerith facility. Jerith currently has a 444,000 square foot building on 36 acres in northeast Philadelphia with three automated powder coating lines. "Combining the two largest man- ufacturers of aluminum fence just makes sense strategically," Schwartz stated. "We are operating in the same region, have several mutual customers, and, like all fence companies, have both seen our sales hurt by the reces- sion. We are excited to be in growth mode once again." Jerith Manufacturing Company, Inc. was established in 1951 and is a third-generation family business. Jerith is based in Philadelphia and all of their aluminum fences are produced at the Philadelphia location. Jerith Alu- minum Fences of Distinction™ are de- signed for residential, commercial, and industrial applications, and are backed with a limited lifetime guarantee. Alu- minum fences offer the elegance and protection of traditional wrought iron without the maintenance. For more information, contact Jerith at 800-344-2242 or e-mail sales@jerith.com.
