In 2014, the ProRox and SeaRox brands were introduced to North America, joining with RTI in offering a global brand identity for Industrial, Marine & Offshore customers throughout the world. The integration of the ROXUL team into RTI is the next logical step in linking the North American business to a global community.

"With our existing expertise and combined resources, ROXUL Technical Insulation can provide improved support to its North American customers by leveraging our global influence, ultimately bringing greater value to our local response," said Mike Kozokowsky, Vice President Industrial, Sales.

The North American team will continue to be headquartered out of the Milton offices in Ontario. A continuation of the customer service and support that ROXUL customers have become accustomed to under the ROXUL organization can still be expected. ROXUL believes this new alignment will be well received and will provide businesses with a new level of service by providing the performance driven solutions and the technical expertise required in today's business environment.
