APOC, a leading manufacturer of professional roof restoration products, has expanded its delivery operation in the Northeast United States to enhance agility, reduce lead times and better serve roofing contractors and distributors in key regional markets. This expansion strengthens APOC’s ability to serve roofing professionals who face a common dilemma: work with smaller, local suppliers for speed and flexibility, or partner with a large, national manufacturer for scale, consistency, and product quality and reliability.
The enhanced delivery model helps to remove that trade-off, especially during time-sensitive roof repair projects. “Roofers often prefer smaller, local suppliers for speed and flexibility, but that tends to come at the expense of manufacturing scale and long-term reliability,” said Brett Antell, Director of Sales Northeast US, APOC. “Our enhanced delivery for APOC customers in the Northeast means they don’t have to choose. With APOC, they get all of the above: the responsiveness and agility they need, and the trusted performance of a national brand.”
The initiative builds on APOC’s existing distribution network and is anchored by its Seaford manufacturing facility. It includes the addition of a new enclosed box truck—with lift gate capability and 12- to 15-pallet capacity and a pup trailer—to their current company-managed fleet of vehicles. The result is increased reach and responsiveness in Washington, D.C.; Greater Baltimore; New Jersey; and the Southern Pennsylvania /Greater Philadelphia areas.
“This is a decision driven by what our customers need, competitive dynamics and APOC’s continued commitment to roofing professionals,” Antell added. “The initiative enhances agility, improves lead times, and strengthens our ability to compete with regional suppliers positioned as local providers. It makes business sense for APOC, but more importantly, it does more for our customers that work against the clock to deliver high-quality roof restoration.”
Commercial roofing contractors in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Washington, D.C. and Maryland can contact their APOC representative or visit APOC.com to locate a regional roofing supply partner and request jobsite delivery.
