Atlas Roofing Expands HP Technology Capacity Throughout North America

June 26, 2013

Atlanta, Ga. - Atlas Roofing Corporation has grown its production capability by adding new state-of-the-art equipment to their manufacturing lines this spring. With these modern systems Atlas will be strategically positioned to answer the growing demand for shingles with HP Technology, the latest advanced shingle design from Atlas. This added production capacity, strategically located in Hampton, Ga; Meridian, Miss. and Daingerfield, Texas, will allow Atlas to quickly deliver its HP lines of shingles to more customers. These new laminating lines are proof that Atlas Roofing Corp. is making a long term investment in HP Technology, the future of residential shingles. HP technology was developed by Atlas after listening carefully to the needs of its contractors and features five key elements that are literally hard to miss: A larger size shingle which means less shingles to install and is more aesthetically pleasing on the home. The HP shingle has double sealant lines of FASTAC® adhesive. A true 1-1/4-inch “Sweet Spot” nailing area making HP laminates easier to install. The HP shingle has a 6-inch exposure to give it a real architectural look. The exception being the StormMaster Slate which adds an additional 2-1/2” for a full 8-1/2” of exposure creating the true look of slate. The HP shingle is also warranted to withstand 130 mph winds and wind driven rain with a standard 4-nail application. The increased production capacity of the new lines ensures that Atlas distributors will be more able to quickly fill contractors’ orders. By adding this new state-of-the-art equipment to its plants, Atlas has an incredible capability to deliver new and innovative product lines based on these and upcoming line improvements.
