HISTORY & OVERVIEW
Trex Company, Inc. is the manufacturer of Trex® decking and railing, the leading brand of alternative decking lumber in North America. A former division of Mobil Corporation, the company was formed by four Mobil executives in 1996 and went public in April 1999. Trex Company’s headquarters and a manufacturing facility are located in Winchester, VA. Trex Company also has manufacturing facilities in Fernley, NV and Olive Branch, MS.
Trex Company turns millions of pounds of recycled and reclaimed plastic and waste wood each year into Trex decking. Most of these raw materials come from recycled plastic grocery bags, reclaimed pallet wrap and waste wood. Trex Company purchases approximately 300 million pounds of used polyethylene and an equal amount of hardwood sawdust each year, materials that would normally end up in a landfill. The company estimates that it receives about 50% of the recycled grocery bags available on the market.
Trex decking is a true value-added feature for residential or commercial decking. It features unmatched good looks and longevity, will never rot or crack and is splinter-free. Trex decking is extremely weather-resistant and never needs painting or staining for protection. And, it is the only decking lumber of its kind to be code-listed by the nation’s three major building code agencies. Trex decking is available at more than 3,300 contractor-oriented lumberyards throughout the U.S. and Canada.
