Caraustar signs with CFT

Caraustar Industries announces its entry into an exclusive distribution and agency agreement with Column Form Technology, Inc. ("CFT") of Sun Valley, California. Caraustar will exclusively market and sell CFT’s Column Cast System throughout North America.

The environmentally sustainable construction tubes are manufactured using 100% recycled paperboard. They are produced with specially engineered weather-resistant fiber and adhesive that provides users with the ability to complete projects in inclement weather. Adding CFT will complement Caraustar’s construction products offering.

John Lea, Caraustar’s Vice President National Sales, Construction Products stated, "The Column Cast System offers a revolutionary new process that yields all the benefits of a true ‘cast-in-place’ concrete post/column, utilizing a highly efficient design, which results in significant labor savings. Column Cast won distinction by receiving the 2009 Most Innovative Product Award at the Hanley-Wood World of Concrete exposition. Caraustar is pleased to partner with CFT, demonstrating its commitment to deliver new, innovative, sustainable and value-enhanced products to our customers."
