Since 1951, when Resolite first began production in Zelienople, Pa., the company has provided architects, engineers, contractors and building owners with the very finest in fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) panels. Literally thousands of buildings across the country, and around the world, have utilized Resolite panels, particularly when corrosion resistance was the principal design consideration.Throughout its history, Resolite has been at the forefront of new product development. Resolite developed and fabricated the industry's first fire retardant FRP panels, and introduced the first walkable FRP panel (Tred-Safe™) and RFM panels (Factory Mutual approved), as well as other engineered FRP composite products.Resolite is recognized as an industry leader in industrial and corrosion resistant products. The company's automated continuous production lines; in-plant laboratory; testing facilities; and engineers and staff, combine to offer customers unequaled assistance in meeting their structural, corrosion and accelerated weathering challenges.Through a network of area managers, manufacturer's representatives, distributors and a quick ship program, Resolite panels are readily available anywhere in North America. Today, as a division of Stabilite America, a world leader in industrial manufacturing, Resolite continues to provide designers and building owners with engineered FRP composite solutions to meet a host of corrosion resistant applications.
