In making the announcement, Bob Isaacs, sales manager for Construction Products/Caraustar Converted Products Group, stated, "The KlimatePRO/easy-POUR tubes have been engineered for superior resistance to inclement conditions, require minimal bracing, are light weight for easy storage and handling, and they are manufactured using 100 percent recycled paperboard.  The KlimatePRO/easy-POUR tubes have a multitude of other superb features that the construction professionals require and are a sustainable product that reflects Caraustar's commitment to preserving the environment.

"Caraustar's acquisition of Mayers Fibre Tube & Core in December 2007 joined two market leaders in the industry.  The benefits associated with combined experience and exceptional product offerings have equated to uncompromised quality and service.  Further, our extensive number of manufacturing locations across the United States and Canada gives us a geographic reach unparalleled in the industry."

Caraustar will also host an exhibit booth (SG22633) in the GREENSITE section at the trade show, a designated area for companies to present their sustainable practices and to display representative products that contribute to preserving the environment.
