What Bison Innovative Products does

Bison Innovative Products is a Denver-based manufacturer founded in 1994 that designs and produces adjustable pedestal systems, modular wood tiles, 2CM pavers, and aluminum site furnishings for elevated rooftop deck applications. The company operates as a brand under United Construction Products, Inc., which is a subsidiary of RPM International Inc. (NYSE: RPM), a publicly traded specialty coatings and building products conglomerate. Its proprietary pedestal lines (Versadjust, Level.It, ScrewJack, and HP-Series) support surface materials including FSC-certified Brazilian hardwood tiles (Ipê, Cumaru, Massaranduba, Garapa), 2CM pavers, and artificial turf, with load capacities up to 1,250 lbs per pedestal and designs that enable non-penetrating rooftop installations and modular reconfiguration.

The company sells primarily through a US network of territory managers targeting architects, contractors, and building owners on commercial projects across multi-family residential, hospitality, healthcare, government, and education verticals. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Marketing emphasizes a project gallery of 100+ showcased installations, LEED and SITES compliance documentation, FSC-certified wood sourcing, and integrations with SpecWizard and BIMobject to embed Bison specifications into architectural workflows. Named projects include presidential libraries (William J. Clinton, George W. Bush), major hospitals (Partners Healthcare, Children's Hospital of Orange County), NYC residential towers (Visionaire, George Apartments), hotels (Loews Chicago, Kimpton Tryon Park, 21c Museum Hotel), and university campuses (UC Berkeley, Virginia Tech).

Revenue is generated through hardware sales (pedestals, wood tiles, pavers, site furnishings) augmented by design and planning services such as layout drafting, CAD details, and specification support. In 2024, Bison extended its offering through a strategic partnership with Carbon Limit Co. and NCP Industries to deploy CoolCrete carbon-reducing concrete additive technology in rooftop applications, signaling an intent to participate in the carbon capture concrete additive market alongside its core hardware business. Distribution has expanded to cover 30+ US states plus Canada.
