Eco Building Products, Inc, a manufacturer of treated wood
products, announced today the supply of Eco Red Shield protected lumber for
modular homes in the Hurricane Sandy rebuild.
Bruce Goodstein, President of Statewide Custom Modular Homes,
has ordered seven modular homes from his Virginia-based producer, NationwideHomes, all of which are to be constructed out of Eco Red Shield protected
lumber. Statewide Custom Modular Homes currently has under contract a total of
seventy five homes with intentions to supply all of them utilizing Eco Red
Shield Protection.
Steve Conboy, President/CEO, Eco Building Products,
commented, “In a short amount of time we were successful in explaining to
Bruce and his team the uses, benefits and logistics of embracing and using Eco
Red Shield lumber. Until now nobody has done anything to protect the
whole-house lumber package. Now that we are in the production phase, this new
channel opportunity has been made possible by Eco’s Affiliate in
factory also located in
This first rate support as provided by Eco’s business model
will allow for a smooth transition away from raw lumber to Eco Red Shield
protected lumber on all of Statewide’s future modular business.” Conboy
further remarked, “Being that this is a rebuild, and perception is 9/10 of
the law, Bruce and his team knew that to remain the leader in their market,
they had to raise the bar and provide a superior product for their clients. In
recent news, modular construction has received negative news with regards to
structural performance and longevity when subjected to fire conditions.
Statewide’s timely move to build with Eco Red Shield
protected lumber now affords their customer’s Eco’s hallmark benefits of mold,
termite, rot and value added fire protection. Recent web-based articles are
circulating that highlight the fire dangers associated with modular homes and
light-gauge construction. Bruce Goodstein and Statewide Homes have decided to
switch to Eco Red Shield at all costs to ensure his modular homes are not
included in that discussion.”
