Randall Manufacturing: Introduces the Industry’s First GREEN Line of Bulkheads
Chicago, June 16, 2011 - Randall Manufacturing, a Chicago-based manufacturer of
temperature zoning products for the transportation and warehouse industries, proudly
introduces the first GREEN line of portable insulating bulkheads to the transportation
industry. Designed to meet the needs of today’s refrigerated transporters, Randall
Manufacturing’s GREEN bulkheads reduce solid landfill waste, utilize reclaimed material,
and provide the highest thermal properties on the market.
The GREEN bulkhead line is comprised of two exceptional models: the BH1500 and the
flagship BH2000 portable bulkheads. The BH1500 and BH2000, manufactured with a 3”

closed-cell foam, have set the industry standard for superior temperature zoning for over
eleven years. Now, the BH1500 and BH2000 will also be available with a 100%
polyisocyanurate (commonly known as “polyiso”) foam core which has been reclaimed from
the roofing material of institutional buildings and spared from landfills. According to the
Polyisocyanurate Insulation Manufacturers Association (PIMA), polyiso is cited by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency for its responsible impact on the environment. In addition,
polyiso is known for its excellent compressive strength, recycled content and zero ozone
depletion potential. These are critical features states Fred Jevaney, President of Randall
Manufacturing, “not only from an environmental perspective but also from a performance
perspective - it differentiates our bulkheads from the rest in the industry as the R-value is
approximately 30% higher than that of the average bulkhead in the market. We have created
a new bulkhead standard by increasing the insulation performance and reducing solid landfill
waste. It’s an exciting time for us.”
The GREEN bulkhead line has been engineered to meet the needs of the widest variety of
users. Both GREEN bulkheads share the polyiso foam core, yet offer alternative skid guards,
perimeter seals, and exterior skin options. The GREEN bulkhead line is a continued example
of how Randall Manufacturing furthers its reputation as an innovator and customer-centric in
the temperature zoning industry.

the grocery and food service distribution industry’s Top 20 Green Supply Chain Partners for
its Green line of bulkheads. “We are honored to be recognized among the leaders in the
industry who are developing innovative products that help our customers meet their “green”
goals while creating a greener, cleaner future for everyone,” continued Fred Jevaney.
