Construction industry specialist Rapid-EPS, designers and manufacturers of edge protection systems, has signed a multi-million dollar five year deal with Aluma Systems North America Forming and Shoring as its exclusive distribution partner in the United States.

In 2011, the founders of Rapid-EPS, David Brine and Peter Hewson, developed the innovative concept of constructing an edge protection system using a telescopic post which is considerably easier and quicker to erect than the existing drill and fix systems.

Over the last six years, the company has grown to supply its products in 11 countries via a network of global distributors. This latest agreement with Aluma Systems will expand Rapid-EPS’s engineered edge protection product line in the United States.

David Brine, chairman of Rapid-EPS said: “We are excited to enter into this agreement with the leading commercial access, forming and shoring company in the United States. Working together, we believe we will be able to provide the highest quality and most cost-effective edge protection on jobsites across the United States.”
