HISTORYMetallic Building Company is one of theoldest companies in the metal buildingindustry. Established in 1946, Metallic wasone of the five original founders of theMetal Building Manufacturers Association.Some of its employees date back toMetallic's roots in the 1950s and somecurrent builder relationships carry backto the 1960s.

After a seriesof corporatearrangements,Metallic waspurchased in1989 by NCIBuilding Systems.NCI, alreadyexperiencingtremendous

growth, became a publiccompany in 1992. Since going public,NCI has become one of the largest andmost well-respected manufacturers ofcustom metal building systems.

Over the last decade, NCI hasbeen listed four times as one of ForbesMagazine's "Best Small Companiesin America" and as a Business Weekmagazine "Hot Growth Company."Metal Construction News has honoredNCI's contributions to the industry bynaming it the "Top Industry Marketer."In the financial community, NCI continuesto receive accolades for its achievements.

Today, because of Metallic's unparal-leled industry reputation, top qualitypersonnel are attracted to the organization.Metallic employs some of the highest

quality professional, technical andmanufacturing personnel in the industry.Superior personnel ensure that Metallicproducts are designed with soundengineering practices, detailed correctlyand manufactured with the utmostquality control.

The corporation has grown to over4,000 employees and in excess of 3.5million square feet of manufacturing spacein 36 plants strategically located acrossthe country.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENTSince the beginning, Metallic and NCI haveconsistently improved their product linesand added new features and products tobecome the innovative leader in theindustry. With the advent of our patentedstate of the art Long Bay System (LBS), the

Class TV Structural Shop, Light CommercialBuildings and advancements in IPSinsulated panels, Metallic has enabledits builders to offer building solutionsfor any construction environment.

With 35 plants nationwide, along withan unbelievable breadth of steel products,NCI is the largest purchaser of steel in theconstruction industry. And, as such, passesthe volume purchasing savings on to ourbuilders and customers.

Product and service breadth andshipping point locations are the essenceof the Metallic Edge.

BUILDER ORGANIZATIONMetallic Building Company is dedicatedto supporting its Authorized Builderswith strong marketing, competitive

pricing, quality manufacturing andoutstanding service. Over the past yearMetallic announced 22 new and improvedproducts and services to its customers.

Being the industry leader requiresforward thinking personnel to pilot,produce and promote revolutionaryproducts and procedures. Our goal isto stay ahead of the competition andto lead the metal building industry inproducts, profit and growth.

TECHNOLOGYMetallic's PRISM Pricing Programpioneered computer pricing to enablebuilders to price projects and get accu-rate anchor bolt drawings. Flexible anduser friendly, PRISM allows the builder/designer to seek the most efficient designto achieve the most competitive price. TheMetallic draftingteam works fulltime to continuallyenhance PRISM'scapabilities tohelp builders dealwith the changingmarket.

SYNERGYThe executive management at Metallicare experts in integrating companiesinto the NCI family. From coil coatingand fabricated steel to roll-up doorsand insulated panels, if a customer hasa demand for a steel product in theconstruction industry, Metallic canprovide it.

NCI's decade of growth has broughttogether some of the best companies inour industry. (The 1998 acquisition of MBCIand its affiliates created the opportunityto establish economic advantages withthe major steel producers.) A true singlesource supplier had been born.

Our large-scale manufacturing capabili-ties reduce production costs and allow forcentralized purchasing, marketing andadministrative efficiencies.

HUB AND SPOKE PRODUCTIONOur unique "hub and spoke" strategy ofmanufacturing shrinks the average radiusof shipping, which reduces distributioncost and time. This strategy allows efficientutilization of our truck fleet with uniformloading of outbound and inboundshipments. This production philosophybrings the source of supply closer to thecustomer and greatly reduces the overallcost of production.

RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENTMetallic has shown its dedication toproduct testing. We have built our ownauthorized replicas of the UnderwritersLaboratory (UL) and Factory Mutual (FM)test chambers in ourHouston, TexasResearch andDevelopmentfacility. Thecompany's13,000 squarefeet of researchand developmentspace underscoresthe company's dedication to new andsuperior building products. Our testsgive us a depth of knowledge aboutour products that is unequaled in theindustry. Our in-depth testing helpsguarantee the accuracy of our designand ensures that our products satisfyor exceed building code requirements.

TRAININGMetallic has one of the only training centersin the metal building industry. The 7,600square foot hands-on facility allows upto four 75-person classes to operatesimultaneously. An open 2-story sectionenablesinstructorsand studentsto actuallyerect aone-story,light framebuilding -complete withwall and roof panels.

Training in nearly all facets of ourproduct offering is available. The trainingcenter provides space for all schools andseminars, from sales and software trainingto product and management seminars.Our in-depth training program shows ourcommitment not only to quality products,but also to a quality project.

CORPORATE ACCOUNTSIn a further effort to establish Metallicbuilders in the national realm, theCorporate Accounts division was launchedto attract Fortune 500 corporations andsome of the largest general contractors,architectural and engineering firms in theUnited States. This is the community thatis and will be involved in most of thelargest construction projects available inthe country. This team of professionalswill bring projects to Metallic builders fortheir construction expertise and knowledgeof local codes and requirements.

THE METALLIC EDGEMetallic Building Company managementhas time and time again proven thatthey have the vision to remain the mostinnovative company in the industry. Forover 50 years the Metallic name has beena mainstay in the metal building industry.Metallic's parent company, NCI, is stillthe leader in financial growth, customerservice and product breadth and innovation- Does Metallic have the edge?You decide.

he Metallic Long BaySystem (LBS) is thefirst new product in

steel roof framing in over30 years. The new LongBay System opens upthe engineered buildingmarket and enables

Metallic builders to compete in theconventional and tilt wall arena.

LBS provides a clean, unclutteredinterior. Fewer interior columns maximizeareas for rack or palletized storage whilereducing foundation costs.
