Vycom Staff Visits WTC Memorial
The construction site at the World Trade Center Memorial Site was bustling with activity as crews worked around the clock to get ready for the opening ceremonies on Sept 11, 2011. The groundwork included finishing the installation of the last wave of tree boxes from Scranton-based Vycom, which are made with its Hitec¨ HDPE material.

Don Wharton, President of Vycom, said he felt privileged to visit the site with two members of his sales and marketing team to see the tree boxes in action. The tree boxes are currently providing containment and erosion barriers for about 140 trees, with a total of 400 trees planned.

ÒTo provide a solution to the worldÕs highest profile construction project and to walk on what is literally sacred ground, is a very moving experience,Ó said Wharton. ÒWe are proud to be part of the World Trade Center construction project.Ó The site was the center of worldwide attention for the Memorial PlazaÕs dedication ceremony on September 11, 2011, marking the 10-year anniversary of 9/11.

The Vycom Black Hitec HDPE panels are manufactured for durability, making them ideal for this rugged application. And, they are made with a percentage of recycled postindustrial material.
