A provider of custom solutions for refractory and high temperature applications in a wide range of industries, including metals, power, glass, and ceramics, has opened a warehouse in suburban Detroit.
The new Chiz Bros. facility carries the same inventory as the company’s Pittsburgh-area location. Those products include ceramic fiber blanket, papers and felts, boards, and modules. The Detroit Warehouse will also provide local support for routine and emergency needs.
“As one of the country’s largest Alkegen (formerly Unifrax) distributors, we are always looking for ways to better serve our core markets in the industrial heartland and Rust Belt with Made in the USA ceramic fiber products,” says Mark Rhoa, Jr., vice president of Chiz Bros. “With that purpose in mind, we opened the Detroit Warehouse under the leadership of Mike Klauk, our Regional Manager.”
“I am pleased to be responsible for the activities at our Detroit Warehouse,” says Klauk, who came to Chiz Bros. after more than a decade at Unifrax, where he held Sales Engineer and Applications Engineer positions. “I look forward to providing our customers with the products and technical assistance they need exactly when they need them.”
