Started with nothing more than a vision and an entrepreneurial spirit, AmeriLux International was formed in May 2004. AmeriLux is a value-adding distributor of multiwall and corrugated polycarbonate sheet products, PVC sheet and liner panels, and steel coil. Headquartered in De Pere, Wisconsin, AmeriLux sources and distributes materials from and to companies around the world. It is by building and maintaining strategic, win-win partnerships with vendors, customers, and employees that AmeriLux is able to profitably – and sustainably – grow its business. With an emphasis on customer service and support, AmeriLux International seeks to provide its customers with creative, cost-effective solutions to their unique challenges. This solutions-focused mentality has driven facility expansions and key equipment investments, enabling AmeriLux to provide a variety of fabrication services, component assembly, and turn-key manufacturing solutions. Strongly committed to educating the architectural, building, and construction communities on the benefits of using its products, AmeriLux International provides distance learning courses, webinars, and in-person presentations whereby continuing education units can be earned. These online educational programs are free, one-hour-long programs that focus on topics such as energy efficiency, polycarbonate glazing solutions, and sustainable design. This has led to a greater grass roots demand for their products. To reduce lead times and improve on-time delivery with key customers, AmeriLux International started AmeriLux Transportation — a trucking company with its own drivers and equipment — in June 2012. AmeriLux Transportation is a direct delivery carrier and regularly operates in the US. With the recent formation of AmeriLux Logistics, AmeriLux now has access to a network of qualified carriers and a wide range of freight shipping services - yet another offering to better serve the marketplace!
