Maibec Inc. today announced the launch of Maibec Resistech™
product line built on LP® SmartSide® siding , a new prefinished
engineered siding system that will be offered in Canada and select
markets in the Northeast United States.
Maibec is a market leader in prefinished siding, while the LP
SmartSide brand is the market leader in engineered wood siding.
“Putting our two brands together makes for a great product
line,” LP Specialty Sales & Marketing Vice President Craig
Sichling said.
Maibec is the North American leader in mass customization and
staining of prefinished sidings. It is the largest manufacturer of
prestained Eastern white cedar shingles in North America and the
largest manufacturer of prestained solid wood siding in Canada.
“This is certainly a natural transition for Maibec to offer a
prefinished engineered-wood siding system. We are excited to
partner with LP to introduce the new Resistech™ product line,” said
François Tardif, Maibec’s President.
“We pride ourselves on creating a beautiful and durable siding
product, and therefore look to align LP SmartSide trim and siding
with quality prefinishers,” Sichling said.
LP is the No. 1 producer of treated engineered wood siding. With
seven mills in the U.S. and Canada, LP can create builder pull
through in geographical areas where prefinished siding is
predominant or the preferred building practice.
