About CertainTeed and the PAM Product Line
CertainTeed PAM is the
premier provider of technically advanced municipal castings — primarily
manhole covers and gratings — operating in the United States today.
Though relatively new to the North American market, the
PAM product line is well-established as the European leader in the design
and sale of manhole covers and gratings, with over 6 million units in the
ground. Our products are sold around the world — and now North American
municipalities and utility companies can enjoy the ergonomic and
functional benefits of PAM manhole covers and gratings.
PAM manhole covers and gratings are designed with a
total focus on the needs of the end-user. The foundation of our
innovation is ductile iron, an engineered material that offers
significant performance advantages over traditional cast, or grey, iron,
including:
• Greater strength-to-weight ratio
• Excellent impact resistance and
durability
• Enhanced design ability
CertainTeed's aim is to be the technical leader in
municipal castings in North America. And with innovative products like
our PAMREX manhole cover, which has already been selected as the sole
specification in a number of large metropolitan areas, we're well on the
way to achieving that goal.
CertainTeed Corporation is a subsidiary of
Saint-Gobain, one of the top 100 industrial companies in the world and a
major force in building materials, flat glass, glass containers,
insulation, reinforcements, abrasives, ceramics and plastics, and pipes
and accessories -- including municipal castings.
