What Anchor Products does

Anchor Products, LLC is a privately-held Texas-based manufacturer of engineered, non-penetrating rooftop attachment systems for commercial low-slope roofs. Founded in 2010 and operating from a Haltom City manufacturing facility with mailing address in Colleyville, the company employs 11-50 people and sells primarily to commercial building owners, roofing contractors, solar installers, and MEP professionals in the United States and Puerto Rico. The company is led by founder and CEO Joel Stanley, with Scott Carpenter (formerly Director of Sales – Low Slope at SFS USA) joining as Director of Sales in August 2023.

The company's core platform is the U-Anchor — a proprietary, patented (U.S. Patent No. 10,501,939 B) rooftop attachment system that uses hot-air welding or adhesive bonding to secure equipment to TPO, PVC, KEE, EPDM, APP/SBS, and coated roof membranes without penetrating the roof or compressing the membrane. Each anchor is rated to approximately 3,000 lbs in tension and 4,000 lbs in shear. The platform underpins a catalog of 20+ solution products organized into six categories: solar racking, snow retention, MEP securement, safety/access/egress, communications, and rooftop accessories. The product line is FM Approved (December 2023) and is included in the warranties of the six largest North American single-ply and modified-bitumen roofing manufacturers — Versico, Carlisle, Johns Manville, Firestone, Sika Sarnafil, and Duro-Last.

The business model is hardware sales at custom, quote-based pricing with freight and shipping calculated separately. Distribution combines a U.S. regional field-sales representative network, a quote-request-driven website channel, an AIA-accredited continuing-education program, and indirect distribution through the certified-installer networks of the six partner roofing manufacturers. The company markets via industry trade shows (IIBEC conventions), its 2025-launched Mobile Showcase traveling demonstration (45+ U.S. stops), a blog and resource library, and active membership in IIBEC, NRCA, SPRI, SEIA, RETA, and FRSA. Notable end customers include Space Center Houston, the Caribbean VA Hospital in San Juan (which withstood Hurricanes Irma and Maria in 2017), CenturyLink/Lumen Field, Mandalay Bay Convention Center, Golden 1 Center, and Super Target.

Core offering

Anchor Products designs, manufactures, and sells the U-Anchor rooftop attachment platform — a proprietary, non-penetrating, compression-free system used to secure rooftop equipment (solar arrays, HVAC, MEP, safety, communications, signage) to commercial low-slope roof membranes. The company offers two anchor series (2000 and 3000) plus over 20 solution products spanning solar mounting, snow retention, MEP, safety/access, communications, and rooftop accessories, all engineered to preserve roof membrane integrity and roofing manufacturer warranties.

Product overview

Anchor Products designs and manufactures engineered rooftop attachment systems built around the proprietary U-Anchor platform. The core product line consists of two anchor series — the U-Anchor 2000 Series (for TPO, PVC, KEE, EPDM, and modified bitumen roofs) and the U-Anchor 3000 Series (for heavier-load plate applications and APP/SBS roofs) — which serve as the foundational attachment point for over 20 distinct solution products. These solutions span six solution categories: Solar (U-Anchor-based solar mounting), Snow Retention (2-Pipe Snow Fence and Unitized Snow Fence), Mechanical/Electrical/Plumbing (Large Electrical Box Frame, Medium Electrical Box Frame, Wall Mounted Box, Roof Pipe Securement, Attached Pipe Frame, Existing Pipe Frame, Existing Mechanical Tie Down, Duct Securement), Safety/Access/Egress (Roof Mounted Guardrail, Wall Mounted Guardrail, Roof Ladders, Roof Stairs & Walkways), Communications (Weather Stations, Satellite Dish, Tower/Stack Securement), and Rooftop Accessories (Equipment Screen, Light Mount, Camera Mount, Guy Wire Kit, Lightning Protection, Wall Mounted Tower/Stack). The Anchor Platform Assembly is protected by U.S. Patent No. 10,501,939 B. The company holds FM Approved Certification on its U-Anchor product line and all U-Anchors are accepted by major North American roofing manufacturers' warranties.
