Johnstown Wire Technologies and Guardian Fence Suppliers Announce New Aluminized Product Partnership

Columbia, SC- Guardian Fence Suppliers based in Columbia, South Carolina and Johnstown Wire Technologies located in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, have partnered to develop a new product which will be marketed under the brand name Guardian Alumi-Link. This new aluminized product line is backed by the best product warranty in the fencing industry and rivals the durability of galvanized chain link fence fabric. Guardian Alumi-Link is fast becoming the fencing product of choice for industrial, commercial and residential use.

Guardian Fence Suppliers, one of the nation’s largest independent manufacturers of speciality fence products, will manufacture the aluminized wire produced by Johnstown Wire Technologies. The aluminized product line, which includes standard and mini-mesh chain link fabric, tension wire, barbed wire, tie wire and hog rings, has numerous advantages over standard as well as 2oz. coated galvanized fencing. The new Guardian Alumi-Link products are made of steel wire dipped in a hot aluminized bath to coat and bond the entire surface with an anticorrosive finish before it’s woven or formed into chain link fabric or other wire products. The aluminized coating automatically forms a shield of aluminum oxide that resists corrosion caused by industrial pollution, marine environments and intense humidity. The Guardian Alumi-Link fabric is easy to install and holds its smooth surface appearance much longer than galvanized wire even under the toughest conditions.

“We are excited to be partnering with Johnstown Wire Technologies on this project. The extraordinary technology Johnstown Wire utilizes to produce the aluminized strand in Guardian Alumi-Link is state of the art,” said Charlie Weston, President of Guardian Fence Suppliers. “Without a doubt, Guardian Alumi-Link is superior to any galvanized product on the market.”

“Guardian Alumi-Link finally offers the Fence Industry an extremely durable and competitively priced alternative to galvanized fencing,” said Walt Robertson, President and CEO of Johnstown Wire Technologies. “This exceptional product was developed using the latest in cutting edge technology and we are confident that it will surpass anything available on today’s market.”

This durable product, which is already accepted by Federal, State and local specifications, requires minimum maintenance and bears a limited 30 year warranty against failure.

Johnstown Wire Technologies manufactures a variety of steel wire products, along with rod and bar steel products and operates from a facility originally owned by onetime industry giant Bethlehem Steel.

Guardian Fence Suppliers is built on a tradition of high quality products and service excellence. Their manufacturing and wholesale distribution network stretches across the United States.
