Kingspan “ASI” And “API” Officially Changing Name To Kingspan Insulated Panels

Unified Name Provides Streamlined Brand Identity

Deland, FL - To reinforce its brand as an integrated company, Kingspan ASI and Kingspan API announced an official name change to Kingspan Insulated Panels. This change was effective January 11, 2010.

Kingspan Insulated Panels is a leading manufacturer of insulated metal panels who, in August 2008, acquired MeTecno USA, including its API and ASI divisions, amongst others. Since the acquisition, the company retained these well-known brand names as it introduced Kingspan to the U.S. market. Kingspan Insulated Panels serves the commercial and industrial and cold storage market out of Modesto, California and Deland, Florida. The architectural division will retain its strong brand name of Kingspan Benchmark.

The Kingspan name is synonymous with providing products of superior aesthetic quality and durability. As a cost-effective, energy-efficient solution for the building envelope, Kingspan’s insulated wall and roof systems provide an easy and economical route to reducing building energy costs. Kingspan insulated panels provide superior thermal performance, airtightness and moisture control, and consistently contribute to U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) credits. Kingspan panels are designed to reduce construction time by up to 50 percent when compared to traditional multi part systems.

“We are pleased to formally unite the Kingspan ASI and API division names under the Kingspan Insulated Panels designation,” said Louise Foody, Marketing Manager for Kingspan Insulated Panels. “As Kingspan continues to provide customers throughout North America with innovative products and quality service, we feel that a unified name will help streamline our offering and brand identity.”
