"The consolidation of our exterior wall system operations will create greater efficiencies and is consistent with our long-term strategy," said Degussa Construction Chemicals Inc., President and CEO John Salvatore. "SonoWall will continue to operate as a separate unit with its own sales force. Its products will be sold by SonoWall distributors, who have established strong customer relationships. We will add whatever resources are necessary to ensure that SonoWall distributors and contractors receive the support they require to grow."
