	** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Millennium Decking Systems Incorporated; Millennium decking products. This section is based on the products of Millennium Decking Systems Incorporated, which is located at: 1408 - 7th St. Nisku, AB Canada T9E 7P9 Toll Free Tel: 877-955-3525 Tel: 780-955-3525 Email: request info Web: www.millenniumdecking.com [ Click Here ] for additional information. North and Western USA Dennis W. Collins Vice President Sales & Marketing - Northern USA & Canada Phone: (804) 586-3675 Email: dennis@mdecking.com South and Eastern USA Shayne Johnson Vice President Sales - Southern USA Phone: (704) 728-6108 Email: shayne@mdecking.com Millennium Decking Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Wood Composite Technologies Inc. (WCTI). WCTI was established in 1996 as a research company to develop polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and wood flour compounding and manufacturing technologies. Millennium Decking 1nc. was established to commercialize the technologies and the products developed by WCTI. The manufacturing facility is a modern plant with six extrusion machines. Two dual extrusion machines and three single extrusion machines produce deck boards while the sixth is used for trims and fascia. Production capacity is sufficient to supply current demand and the scalability of the plant will allow for increased capacity as market demand grows over the next several years. The plant is located close to the source of the wood flour. The PVC is shipped in from sources located across North America. Millennium Decking uses 90 percent recycled post industrial material to produce an attractive, practical and low maintenance solution, for building long lasting decks, balconies, porches, wheelchair ramps, docks, boat slips and a variety of applications where a durable walking surface is required. Millennium Decking is not only made of recycled materials but any piece of Millennium Decking can be recycled back through the process and made into new decking. Millennium Decking is manufactured using a patented technology that mixes wood flour with Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC). This combination gives many of the best characteristics of both wood and plastic.
