According to a news release, the combined entity will be one of the province’s leading manufacturers of roof trusses, supplying customers from Windsor to Ottawa as well as Michigan.
“By joining forces with TRS we are going to be uniquely positioned to grow,” Terra Nova founder and president Mark Fox said in a statement. “I look forward to working with both the TRS and Argyle teams to make TNT even stronger than it is today.”
