Established in 1996, Trex Company commemorates its 30th anniversary this year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \nThe company\u2019s growth strategy centers on continued investment in manufacturing capacity, product innovation, strategic partnerships and digital solutions designed to make working with Trex a seamless experience for customers, contractors and consumers. Since 1996, Trex has broadened its portfolio beyond composite decking to offer a growing range of outdoor living solutions that help homeowners transform their backyards into complete destinations.<\/p>\n \n\u201cOur founders challenged the status quo by developing a better alternative to wood,\u201d said Adam Zambanini, President and Chief Executive Officer of Trex Company. \u201cThat entrepreneurial spirit remains at the heart of who we are today. Creating the composite decking category was just the beginning. Today, our opportunity extends far beyond the deck. We\u2019re investing to lead the future of outdoor living with innovative, sustainable solutions that make it easier than ever for homeowners to create beautiful, low-maintenance outdoor spaces.\u201d<\/p>\n Building on Three Decades of Innovation<\/b><\/p>\n \nTrex\u2019s story began with an unexpected challenge: what to do with the growing volume of discarded plastic bags generated by a booming breadcrumb business. In the 1980s, entrepreneur and organic chemist Roger Wittenberg began experimenting with ways to transform the waste plastic film into something useful. After years of research and development, he discovered that combining the shredded film with reclaimed wood fiber created a durable material that could resist rot, splintering and insects \u2013 laying the foundation for a new category of outdoor building products.<\/p>\n \nThat breakthrough innovation became the foundation for Trex Company, which was established in 1996 when Wittenberg and three other executives from Mobil\u2019s Composite Products Division acquired the business. Over the past three decades, the company has grown from a single-product manufacturer into a global outdoor living company and the world\u2019s leading brand of wood-alternative decking.<\/p>\n \nToday, Trex employs nearly 2,000 people, operates manufacturing facilities in Virginia, Nevada and Arkansas, and distributes products through more than 6,700 retail locations across six continents. Its portfolio extends beyond decking<\/a> and railing<\/a> to include fencing<\/a>, deck drainage<\/a>, lighting<\/a>, pergolas<\/a>, outdoor kitchens<\/a>, furniture<\/a>, lattice<\/a> and other outdoor living accessories.<\/p>\n \nThe same value-from-waste mindset that launched Trex continues to drive the company today. Trex composite decking is manufactured from 95% recycled and reclaimed materials, and to date, the company has upcycled more than 6.4 billion pounds of recycled polyethylene plastic film into durable outdoor products \u2013 helping divert waste from landfills and waterways.<\/p>\n Positioned for the Next Era of Growth<\/b><\/p>\n \nDemand for high-performance, low-maintenance outdoor living products continues to grow as homeowners increasingly view outdoor spaces as an extension of the home. Trex sees a significant opportunity to expand beyond individual products and deliver a broader portfolio of solutions for the entire backyard.<\/p>\n \nWith a strong brand reputation, deep channel relationships, established manufacturing expertise and a track record of category innovation, Trex is positioned to capture this opportunity while continuing to deliver value for homeowners, contractors, retailers and distribution partners.<\/p>\n \n\u201cWe\u2019ve spent 30 years earning the trust of homeowners, contractors and channel partners by consistently delivering innovation and performance,\u201d said Zambanini. \u201cNow we\u2019re building on that foundation with a bold vision for the future. We believe the next era of growth will come from helping consumers think beyond a deck to an entire outdoor living experience, and Trex is uniquely positioned to lead that evolution.\u201d<\/p>\n Celebrating a Milestone<\/b><\/p>\n \nTo commemorate its 30th anniversary, Trex will host a series of employee celebrations and recognition events honoring the people, partnerships and culture of innovation that have shaped the company\u2019s success. The celebration will culminate later this fall when members of the executive leadership team ring the Opening Bell at the New York Stock Exchange, marking both a significant milestone and the beginning of Trex\u2019s next chapter.<\/p>\n \n\u201cFor three decades, we\u2019ve challenged conventional thinking and redefined an industry,\u201d added Zambanini. \u201cAs proud as we are of what we\u2019ve accomplished, we\u2019re even more excited about what comes next. Our vision is simple: to become the brand consumers think of first when they imagine their ideal backyard.\u201d<\/p>\n \nFor more information, visit Trex.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n IMAGES<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n \nTrex CEO Adam Zambanini with company founders Roger Wittenberg and Andrew Ferrari About Trex Company, Inc.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n \nFor more than 30 years, Trex Company [NYSE: TREX] has invented, reinvented and defined the wood-alternative decking category.
