NEW LONDON, NC — Fiberon, the New London-based decking, railing and fencing product manufacturer has certainly kept busy: It recently received the ADEX Platinum Award Designation, hired decking specialist Kyle Lazon, and partnered with A&E Wholesale Inc.
A&E, a Houston-based composite decking distributor, will provide Fiberon decking, railing and fasteners to clients in Texas and Louisiana.
“We are thrilled about this partnership,” said Warren Spencer, president, A&E Wholesale. “Fiberon Horizon decking offers unique attributes, and the result is truly a fabulous product. We already have people calling us asking when it will be in stock.”
In fact, Fiberon's Horizon composite decking received an Awards for Design and Excellence (ADEX) 2010 Platinum Award from Design Journal magazine. More than 2,000 new products were submitted this year and reviewed by an anonymous panel of professionals from the design industry to determine the award winners at levels of platinum, gold or silver.
“We are very proud to be a platinum award winner this year,” said Chris Beyer, vice president of marketing at Fiberon. “ADEX is the most prestigious awards program for designers, and we are pleased they have recognized the excellence of Horizon Decking, and its combination of beauty and real-world practicality.”
Last but certainly not least, Fiberon has named Kyle Lazon as its newest decking specialist. Lazon will serve in a specialist role beginning on May 10, and will cover the northern California territory.
“We are very excited to welcome Kyle to the team,” says Carol Kelly, director of sales, Western Division, for Fiberon. “His industry knowledge and familiarity with the Fiberon product line will be a tremendous asset to the team. Additionally, his experience working with dealers will be extremely beneficial.”
Prior to joining Fiberon, Lazon was an inside/outside sales manager with Unity Forest Products. In this role, he was responsible for building relationships with key decision makers and matching customers with the right solutions for their needs. He also handled market research, product development and coordinated events and advertising campaigns. Lazon also served as a marketing representative with B&R Auto Recycling, where he developed and deployed marketing and advertising campaigns.
