Rust-Oleum adds roofing distribution capacity

Rust-Oleum reported it has expanded its distribution capabilities with its center in Riverside, California, fulfilling products specifically tailored for roof restoration projects.

"We’ve built out our capabilities in time to support roofing contractors when they need us most. As we gear up for an incredibly busy period, this is the perfect time to enhance our services for contractors,” said Nathan Owen, vice president of sales, Rust-Oleum.

Expanded capability of the Riverside facility underscores what the firm described as its commitment to meeting customer demands effectively and understanding the time-sensitive nature of roofing projects.

The company said this move, “prioritizes rapid product delivery, equipping contractors with essential tools when they need them.”

Ahead of peak roofing season, “this strategic move aims to enhance service quality and efficiency, minimizing damaged shipments and ensuring swift response times for roofing customers, especially in times of emergencies,” said the Vernon Hills, Illinois-based company.

The Riverside distribution center now carries the company’s complete professional line of roof coatings for restoration projects.

This lineup includes Rust-Oleum’s Premium 880 Elastomeric roof coating, a rust-preventive, water-based acrylic elastomeric roof coating, packaged as a single component.

Additionally, the center will distribute the firm’s Roof Accessory paint, an aerosol roofing solution that creates a durable, weather-resistant finish that can be applied to stacks, vents and other roof penetrations.

This move is the latest addition to the company’s network of roofing product distribution centers, the firm said, which includes centers in San Antonio, Texas, and Lakeland, Florida.
