Armstrong All-Products Catalog Goes Digital

As Armstrong works to unify its product offerings with a solution sales focus for vertical markets, we will be making significant changes to the traditional “All Products Book”. It will no longer be printed. The most current version of the book is from 2014, and we only have 800 copies remaining in inventory. Once the supply is gone, this book will be available in a digital format only for download from the Armstrong website. We will continue to update the existing digital book and updated product pages will be posted on the website. Going forward, we plan to produce several vertical market, solution-based ‘books’ that will provide solutions to customer pain points. We’ll share more details in the near future. If you have any changes to existing literature, please direct those to LiteratureUpdates@armstronginternational.com. If you would like to order the 2014 printed version, please use this form. It’s your last opportunity to order before they run out!

New Gas Humidifier Coming Soon

A new Armstrong gas humidifier will be released in early August. Watch for more information coming soon and contact Joel Boynton to get your quote started or to discuss existing quotes that may be delivered after July.
