So we put it together, they accepted it, and then from there they wanted a hefty amount – almost several kilometers of it. So we then designed a patented panel machine, a sandwich panel machine that we have factory-run. And that really is the heart of our business today.” A UNIQUEPRODUCER There are no companies worldwide that can put a rendered finish or feature on a sandwich panel, save for Poly-Tek. The technology that they have developed as a result of their fenceis completely unique among the construction industry. This allows them to stand apart not just on a local level, but on a global one as well. “We had to develop a sandwich panel machine that could not only glue and press the panels, but could also apply a texture on one or two sides,
