This month, Carroll Moulding Company, Inc. becomes a primary distributor in the West for cellular vinyl mouldings developed and manufactured by Manta Industries, Inc. of Fort Lauderdale, Florida. This move dramatically complements Manta's current distribution operation in Huntington Beach, California, which serves the 11 western states.

Manta's "imagineering" in the world of cellular vinyl products to improve the home has advanced it to the position of pace setter in the building products industry...both in the U.S. and Europe. Decorators, architects, home remodelers and weekend "do-it-your-selfers" have been praising Manta products here in the West right along. As a matter of fact, the tempo of sales has been such that we needed a mbdern, established distributor ...to help serve these customers.

Carroll Moulding was the obvious choice. lt is the West's only true moulding specialist and has been for 25 years. lts service center is the envy of the industry and it knows how to get the job done.

We're proud of the new association-Manta Industries and Carroll Mouldings. So we're sharing our good news with you.
