Serious Materials Selected by AlwaysOn as a GoingGreen 100
Top Private Company Award Winner
#1 Firm at Cleantech Forum Wins Further Recognition
Sunnyvale, CA – Serious Materials received further recognition of its cleantech strategy and products today, winning a spot on the first annual GoingGreen 100 list at the prestigious AlwaysOn GoingGreen conference. The Top 100 competition recognizes the top emerging companies that are creating game-changing green technology and demonstrating significant market traction.
This award follows Serious Materials’ recognition as the #1 most promising company at Cleantech Venture Forum in February 2007. Serious Materials was voted #1 by the audience of over 800 professional cleantech investors and thought leaders.
Serious Materials was also picked as one of the top 10 cleantech startups by Greentech Media, in September 2007.
‘Our new EcoRock low-energy drywall is the first and only green replacement for standard drywall’ said Kevin Surace, president and CEO of Serious Materials. ‘Drywall production consumes one percent of all industrial energy use in the U.S. EcoRock reduces that by 90%, meaning it could reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 25 billion pounds per year.’ EcoRock will be broadly available in 2008.
Serious Materials has built a sizable and fast-growing business to date through its Quiet Solution division. Quiet Solution pioneered the soundproof drywall category in 2002, and leads the market with over 90% of product sales. The company has 22 filed patents and makes over 25 Quiet®-brand products. Its high quality soundproofing products, including QuietRock, QuietWood and QuietHome Windows, have been in volume production since 2002. A key advantage is the high level of noise reduction combined with ease of installation and lower total cost for builders and owners.
