Atlantic Aluminum Products

What Atlantic Aluminum Products does

Atlantic Aluminum Products is a privately held specialty aluminum fabricator headquartered in Greenwood, Delaware, founded in 1996 by Dan Schlabach. The company designs, fabricates, and distributes aluminum and vinyl railing systems (100 Series, 200 Series/iRail, S-Rail, T-Rail), fencing, porch enclosures (screen panels, vertical 4-track systems), and architectural products (prefabricated balconies, sunshades, pergolas, ornamental features), plus an ADA-compliant secondary handrail. Operations are anchored in a single manufacturing facility at 12136 Sussex Highway, with products certified by Architectural Testing and compliant with IBC and OSHA standards, and marketed as Made in USA.

The business serves two primary customer segments: Residential Homeowners seeking low-maintenance outdoor aluminum products, and Commercial Construction (developers and contractors) requiring code-compliant architectural fabrications. Architects and Designers are an influencing persona for specification. Distribution is conducted through a territory-based direct sales team (four commercial sales representatives covering Mid-Atlantic & New England, Southern Delmarva & Tidewater, Maryland & DC, and the Southeast), supplemented by PDF order forms for trade customers and an online store. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quote-based, consistent with custom architectural projects and trade-channel negotiation.

The company is founder-led: Dan Schlabach serves as President, with co-owner Harold Sylvester as Vice President. There are no subsidiaries, parent companies, or external institutional investors. Community engagement is a notable operational feature, with long-running partnerships with the Fisher of Men Foundation (since 2010) and the Believe in Tomorrow Children's Foundation (since 2016), including in-kind railing donations to pediatric respite housing projects in Ocean City, MD. The company maintains 11-50 employees and has built a 28-year reputation as a premier East Coast railing manufacturer.

Expansion highlights4 records

Direct peers

• Key-Link Fencing & Railing: Key-Link produces aluminum and vinyl railing, fencing, and porch posts sold through dealers to contractors and homeowners. Comparable product mix and channel approach to AAP, particularly on residential and light commercial jobs.
• RDI Railings (Barrette Outdoor Living): RDI manufactures aluminum and vinyl railing systems for residential and commercial use with multiple series and infill options, directly overlapping AAP's 100 Series / 200 Series product positioning. Both serve contractors and developers across similar channel structures.
• Fortress Building Products: Fortress manufactures steel and aluminum railing, fencing, and outdoor building products for residential and commercial applications. Strongly comparable on product breadth (railing, fencing, structural) and channel strategy.
• Superior Aluminum Products: Custom aluminum railing, fence, and gate fabricator serving commercial and residential customers, particularly in the Midwest and East Coast. Directly comparable as a regional custom aluminum fabricator with similar product breadth.
• Digger Specialties / Westbury Aluminum Railing: Westbury is one of the most established aluminum railing brands in the U.S., offering multiple series with various infill options (cable, glass, picket). Directly competes with AAP in the same product category and contractor channel.
• Durables (by Envision Outdoor Living Products): Durables makes vinyl and aluminum railing, fencing, and porch products distributed through building material dealers. Directly comparable on railing and fencing categories and on the trade/dealer channel used by AAP.

Broad incumbents

• Trex Company: Trex is a public, national leader in composite decking and railing with growing aluminum railing offerings. While primarily composite-focused, its brand, scale, and dealer reach create significant competitive pressure on aluminum railing fabricators like AAP.

Emerging players

• AGS Stainless / CableRail (Feeney): Cable-focused railing systems with strong design/specification presence in residential and light commercial. Overlaps with AAP's cable infill offerings and competes for similar architect/contractor specifications.
