ARXX® brings Uniscaffold on board, furthering its insulating concrete forms (ICF) solution for tall wall projects

Portland, Oregon – September 15, 2008 – ARXX Corporation, a leading provider of green building envelope solutions, announced today its acquisition of Uniscaffold, LLC.

With the addition of Uniscaffold tall-wall scaffold system, ARXX is able to deliver an efficient and highly cost-effective solution for larger commercial, industrial and institutional buildings. The state-of-the-art Uniscaffold system has been in the market for over three years, is transportable globally and has been used to build ICF walls up to 63 ft. in height.“There is no doubt that Uniscaffold system is recognized as the undisputed leader in the ICF building industry. As a result, we knew that it would be the best system to add to our current scaffolding/bracing product line-up.” said Frank O’Dea, President and CEO of ARXX Corporation. “Now we can fully service the needs for our commercial projects and offer cost efficiencies for tall-wall commercial construction.”

“Uniscaffold was poised for growth and was in the midst of deciding what our next steps were going to be,” comments Al Peterson, former President and Owner of Uniscaffold, LLC. “As a leader in the ICF industry, ARXX will provide our customers with a true envelope solution for tall-wall projects. As part of the ARXX team, I look forward to continuing to develop products and services for the commercial market.”

Al Peterson will move into the role of Director of Technical Services for ARXX Corporation; managing the technical services team. In addition to Al Peterson, ARXX will retain three Uniscaffold employees in various capacities.

Located in Lewiston, Idaho, Uniscaffold started manufacturing scaffolding systems in 2005. Uniscaffold goes beyond traditional scaffolding systems; it is an essential piece in building ICF tall walls. The system provides the installer complete control over the ICF wall during the building and pouring phases. Uniscaffold allows building tall walls with ARXX products up to 125 ft. in height without scaffolding engineering requirements, while meeting OSHA wall attachment and safety requirements.
