In 1978, Elk began production of fiberglass nonwovens in our Ennis, Texas facility. While Ultra-Mat® was originally developed specifically for the roofing industry, Elk has expanded its capabilities and capacity. Included are sales to other shingle manufacturers and development and sales of both fiberglass and polyester mat for a variety of non-roofing markets. In 1987, Elk formed the Nonwoven Materials Group to further expand and diversify Elk's market presence and product capability. Today, Elk enjoys a solid presence and leadership position in the development and production of both polyester nonwoven products and wet-laid industrial fiberglass.   Copyright 2006, Elk Premium Building Products, Inc.; All Rights Reserved.
