This week's #tbt is a newspaper article from 74 years ago! October 13, 1946 shows an aerial view of the Buffalo waterfront, where our plant is still currently located! At the time of this photo, we had been established at this exact location for 5 years!

This week's #tbt is a freezer, the interior of which is clad in Rigidized Metals' stainless steel. While the pattern itself isn't specified, typically our 5WL or 6WL patterns clad the interior of chest freezers or walk-in coolers. The stainless steel is clean, and the texture is durable, which make our products a good solution for freezer applications.

With fall under way and the leaves changing, this week's #tbt is also a collection of color! These samples have been colored/powder coated and highlighted, to provide additional options for unique applications. The highlighting process allows the color to remain in the recesses of the patterns, which protects the color from damage.

Congratulations to 500 Pearl for the Business First Golden Brick Award! The project has been honored as the region's top development project in this year's Brick by Brick awards!

To highlight Rigidized Metals' presence in the virtual United show this week, this week's #tbt is an elevator cab in Toronto that was clad in 1NA and 5WL. The two patterns complement each other, giving this cab a unique look, while also holding up against scratches, vandalism, and other forms of high traffic abuse. Rigidized Metals has been a leader in the elevator market since our inception, and this photo truly shows why.

Rigidized Metals' Rigid-Tex line of textured metals minimize surface contact area compared with flat metals. This process greatly reduces friction, static cling and helps end machine jam-ups and downtime.

This week's #tbt is school bus seat backs clad in 5WL. This is a very popular pattern for transportation applications due to its durability and ability to hide scratches and other forms of vandalism and abuse. We, at Rigidized Metals, would like to wish everyone a safe, healthy and happy return to school - however, and wherever that may be!
