2 ROCKFON AND CHICAGO METALLIC HAVE JOINED FORCES Chicago Metallic is now part of ROCKFON, the ceiling solutions division of the ROCKWOOL Group.

3 What is stone wool? The origins of stone wool can be traced back to Hawaii. After volcanic eruptions, the islanders would find fine fibers of volcanic glass on the ground that they called Pele s Hair, after the Hawaiian goddess of volcanoes. Today we know that stone wool has unique qualities that make it perfectly suited for a wide range of purposes including insulation and acoustic control. The production process for ROCKWOOL stone wool is a technological replica of what happens inside of a volcano, with the volcanic rock being melted into lava and then spun and cooled in a controlled environment. The resulting stone wool is processed to make final products like ceiling panels. The main raw material for ROCKWOOL products is a renewable and plentiful natural resource. Every year, the Earth s geological activity produces approximately 38,000 times more stone material than is used to make ROCKWOOL stone wool. Chicago Metallic has joined ROCKFON to provide complete ceiling systems

4 DELIVERING COMPLETE CEILING SOLUTIONS ROCKWOOL s strategy is to develop the ROCKFON ceiling business globally by offering complete ceiling solutions that combine stone wool and specialty metal ceiling panels with suspension systems. That is what makes ROCKFON and Chicago Metallic such a great fit. Complete ceiling systems ROCKFON (Stone wool and metal panels) Chicago Metallic (Suspension Systems)
