Marquee Village, Kentucky Derby, Louisville KY - (May 6, 2006)

Amid the roar of the crowd and the thundering hooves of the world's fastest thoroughbreds, Ken Rocheck, general manager of Knauf USA Polystyrene, intorduced his company's latest product innovation to a select group of construction-industry architects, structural engineers, building contractors, and owners of commercial and residential property built with WebLok ICFs. The new product, WebLok Insulating Concrete Forms (ICF), improves significantly upon the advantages of currently available ICFs.

"We wanted all those who helped us throughout the WebLok development process to join us in celebrating our success," Rocheck said in his remarks to his Marquee Village guests. "WebLoks represent the lastest, innovative advancement in the world of ICFs. Keeping in mind the principal challenges facing the construction industry today, our engineers set out to surpass all other ICF systems across the board. They have achieved dramatic success in cost, schedule, quality, and safety."

As Knauf's guests enjoyed the private accommodations of Marquee Village, steeped in the legendary Kentucky Derby tradition, they watched an entertaining and informative introductory video, "Great Walls," which described the new product in the context of other, historic walls.
