PRESS RELEASE
April 1, 2010
Fairless Hills, PA
New Nycon, Inc. announced today that it has been acquired and officially changed its name to Nycon Corporation and is now affiliated with A.L. Patterson. The name-change and acquisition announcement coincides with Nycon Corporation’s formation and a new license for Nycon-G, the line of eco-friendly concrete and asphalt reinforcing fibers. Available in both nylon and polypropylene blends, Nycon-G fibers have been a break-through product in green building technology. They are the only reinforcing fibers on the market today that have no net negative impact on the environment. Using Nycon-G fibers increases the value of fiber-reinforced concrete and asphalt in "green" building. Projects benefit not only from the "green" features of Nycon-G fibers, but also from their superior reinforcing qualities due to their being nylon-based products.
Management and organization of Nycon Corporation will include Barry Fleck as President and Paul Bracegirdle as Vice President. The Nycon company and brand continues as one of the concrete and asphalt industry’s leading providers of reinforcing fibers and accessories. Nycon-G is the signature fiber offering of Nycon’s comprehensive line of nylon, polypropylene, AR and E glass, steel, micro, macro, basalt, PVA and blended fibers. Nycon’s fibers can reduce the need for wire mesh and prolong the service life of all cement-based and asphalt-based products and applications.
A.L. Patterson, Inc. was founded in 1972 and built its reputation as the leading "Single Source Supplier" in America to manufacturers in the Precast/Prestress Concrete Industry. Starting as a sales organization, the company has evolved over its 38 year history into a diversified company with manufacturing and distribution services. The addition of Nycon Corporation will further leverage the company’s depth of product offerings to the Precast/Prestress Concrete Industry as well as providing diversification to adjacent markets. Using the strategic leverage of distribution, sales and marketing from A.L.Patterson, Nycon Corporation joins the other affiliated companies including Vandex-USA and Cast Supply, LLC whose focus is to build strategic distribution facilities globally serving the construction market.
