will continue to provide the quality solutions, on-time delivery and customer service that make them solid
leaders in the industry.
“I’m extremely proud of everyone at Element for their diligent work in making this momentous transition,
and for their daily commitment to being the engaged experts our customers rely on. Their dedication and
expertise is the foundation for building equity in our new brand.”
