United States Gypsum Company Is Now Selling
Micore Mineral Fiber Board Directly to Customers


The Industrial Products Division of United States Gypsum Company has begun selling Micore® Mineral Fiber Board products directly to customers through its national sales force. As a result, the company has terminated its previous agreement with Thermafiber Corporation to distribute Micore products.

"This new arrangement should give our customers even more efficient service and enhanced technical support," said Industrial Products Market Manager Donald Brandt. "It also will enable us to utilize the experience and resources of the Industrial Products Division sales force to expand our Micore product line business."

Micore Mineral Fiber Board is designed to be used as a substrate for fabric and vinyl-covered wall panels, office dividers, tack boards and similar products. It also serves as an excellent core for chalkboards and stoveboards.

U.S. Gypsum Company representatives are contacting customers to provide additional details about the new distribution structure. Customers who have technical questions about Micore Mineral Fiber Board products can call the company's Technical Services Group at (800) USG-4YOU.
