The new location is perfectly positioned to support projects in the oil and gas, mining, municipal water/wastewater, and general construction sectors.

| Oil & Gas / Energy | Catwalks, platforms, access ways, offshore rig flooring, trench covers. | Extreme resistance to corrosive chemicals and, non-conductive safety. |
| Water / Wastewater | Weir plates, baffle walls, tank covers, pump station flooring, stairways. | Non-porous and highly resistant to moisture and chemical agents like chlorine. |
| Mining & Resources | Conveyor walkways, wash-down areas, vehicle maintenance pits, stairs. | Durability, non-slip surfaces, and resistance to heavy loads and impacts. |
| General Construction | Rooftop walkways, architectural screening, cooling tower components. | Low maintenance, light weight for easy installation, and structural integrity. |
“National Grating has experienced huge growth over the past several years and has seen a need for a Western distribution hub to better serve our customers in the area. The massive amount of metal fabricators and contractors that have been switching over to our FRP solutions has really been the impetus for this new location and we look forward to providing them with the exceptional service that keeps our customers coming back,” states Dylan Powell, National Grating Sales Manager.
