The Future of Green Link Looks Promising

By Green Link. 

Green Link Vice President Lisa Mulder says she expects growth as sustainability becomes a larger priority. Learn more about what she sees for the future of Green Link. 

Green Link Engineering is a manufacturing company that makes advanced architectural supports for pipes, ducts, and HVAC/R equipment. Experts in their industry, Green Link develops ground-mounted and rooftop equipment that is sustainable, durable, cost-effective, versatile, and informed by direct contractor feedback. Read on to learn what Vice President Lisa Mulder has to say about the company and where they are going in the future. 

1 - Main areas of activity of the company? 

Green Link manufactures our “Universal” and “Big” Bases (7” and 12” in diameter, respectively) which attach to five “KnuckleHeads,” and the Strut Frame Stanchion answering each commercial roof project’s challenges with tremendous versatility. Each KnuckleHead has level-ability up to one inch to accommodate inevitably varying rooftop surfaces where conduit and mechanical equipment must remain level to properly function. Strut Frame Stanchions of a wider range of height adjustability for installation of duct, elevated pipes and mechanical equipment. Made of military- and auto-grade, weather-impervious, glass-reinforced nylon with a constant operating temperature of 275 degrees Fahrenheit, Green Link’s seven head types include strut, stanchion, light pipe, heavy pipe, solar, paver and pedestal.   

Each of these may be either loose-laid (to avoid roof membrane penetration, maintaining the roofing warranty), mechanically attached via our bases’ four center holes, and/or, for the strongest attachment, chemically bonded with our Green Link Adhesive/Sealant for durable adhesion to nearly any roof membrane (PVC, primed TPO, modified bitumen, EPDM, etc.). We are a trusted brand in no small part due to our hyper-responsive customer service and in-house engineers and technical advisors who, without extra charge to customers, ensure each project is sound before we recommend our system’s solution.  

We also designed our latest product, the MetalHead, described below. 

2 - What is newsworthy about our new products? 

There is currently nothing on the supports market as durable or versatile as ours, and yet we remain cost-competitive.  We consistently have the pleasure of educating contractors and distributors about the “cost vs. the price,” given that our KnuckleHead and MetalHead products will outlast the life of the roof, each with extensive warranties (respectively 10- and 20-years), versus 5-6 years maximum for rubber crumb products or toxin-leaching wooden blocks.   

The MetalHead is our latest product. Each is an anodized, sealed extruded aluminum block support (9.5” wide x 5” tall) with an incorporated strut channel top, weighing a mere two pounds but able to withstand over 10,000 pounds compression. The line of accessories to accompany the MetalHead provides broad versatility, including a stackable manifold which resolves dissimilar metal challenges when accommodating multiple metal lines. Nearly indestructible and impervious to weathering, even on coastal areas, MetalHeads will never be thrown in the landfill; they will be used again on the next job or are fully recyclable. 

3 - What are our product lines/ranges? 

In addition to our KnuckleHead and MetalHead lines — utilizing our strut and stanchion KnuckleHeads — Green Link’s best seller systems offer ability to vertically elevate mechanical equipment and/or pipe and duct supports via low-profile or elevated Green Link Strut Frames, including ability to directly incorporate an electrical box. We are also conducting testing on the “Magneto” a high-powered magnetic attachment system, as well as other roof deck attachment solutions which resolve waterproofing challenges where membrane penetrations are necessary. 

4 - What can we comment about our market trends? 

The effects of climate change are many and worsening; we are neither immune nor tone-deaf to that. As our tagline denotes, we are committed to sustainability in all we do. The lifecycles of Green Link products are deliberate and will not be soon — if ever — landfill-bound, as they can be reused for the next job or recycled.  Plastic and metal manufacturing has a long road ahead toward reaching necessary efficiency and technical innovation before they may be produced with low-/no-greenhouse gas emissions; until then, we remain far ahead of our competition in producing sustainable, recyclable products with high functional and aesthetic value. 

5 - What estimations do we have for 2022? 

Expect great things! Green Link is on track to reach our internal sales goals and representatives getting closer to target sales per thousand (population) in each respective sales territory. With increased investment in their testing, we will also be able to fully promote our lesser-selling items and round out our brand’s complementary systems offerings. We cannot wait to grace the world’s commercial roofs with our products we love to share, quietly and sustainably improving people’s lives.
