Superior Wall Systems Inc.

AT A GLANCE SUPERIOR WALL SYSTEMS INC. WHAT: A manufacturer of prefabricated building components WHERE: Fullerton, California WEBSITE: www.superiorwallsystems.com competitive advantages is its location and geographic footprint. “Currently, we’re the only prefabricated panel shop in Southern Califor- nia,” he notes. “There are a couple of others – one is located in Phoenix, Arizona; there’s another one located in the Reno/Lake Tahoe area of Nevada; and there’s also a panel com- pany in Tennessee and one in Texas. So to service the California area, those guys would have to palletize their stuff and get it on a truck, and when you’re trucking a panel, you’re mostly trucking air. You’ve got a lot of open air between the studs; it’s not a solid, monolithic panel. And you’re only able to get, maybe, six panels on a truck. When you’ve got a proj- ect going full bore, having to facilitate those panels and having to get them onsite where they’re probably swinging eight to ten panels a day, that’s a long distance to be driving panels to service that project. Being in Southern Cal- ifornia, we’re probably no more than 25 miles away from where the project’s being erected, so that gives us an advantage right off the bat.
