What CLADIATOR® does
CLADIATOR® is a New Jersey-based manufacturer of thermally isolated structural cladding attachment systems for commercial building envelopes, operated as Allied Specialty Group Inc. (privately held, headquartered at 3114 Tonnelle Avenue, North Bergen, NJ). The company serves architects, specifiers, structural engineers, developers, general contractors, and installers across the United States and Canada, and claims 35+ years of combined industry experience in rainscreen principles, thermal isolation, and building envelope performance.
The product portfolio centers on three core systems: CL-300, an adjustable clip-and-rail cladding support with coplanar horizontal and vertical tracks integrating polyamide thermal breaks; Slotted-Z, a fiberglass Z-girt paired with the patented ROCKETStick™ insulation securement system; and Eco-Sill, a thermally broken fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) window trim. Supporting accessories include the FRP L-Angle and Slotted-Z Clips. Underlying technology relies on polyamide thermal breaks and FRP materials to eliminate thermal bridges while accommodating continuous insulation and true rainscreen principles. The company holds multiple granted US utility and design patents covering both CL-300 and Slotted-Z, with additional utility, design, and international patents pending, and has achieved NFPA285, CAN/ULC S134, LEED v4, and ANSI/ASHRAE/IESNA 90.1-2010 compliance milestones.
Revenue is generated through direct hardware sales on a quote-based, multi-year contract pricing model. Distribution combines a direct US/Canada field sales team with manufacturer representative firms such as Texas Lone Star Reps (covering Texas and Louisiana), and the company maintains product profiles on architectural specification platforms AceLab, ARCAT, and BSD SpecLink. The go-to-market is sales-led, supplemented by AIA-approved CEU courses, active participation in industry events (AIA, CSI, IIBEC, Design Columbus), and a free sample program targeting architects and specifiers at the design stage.

- Knight Wall Systems: Direct competitor in thermally isolated rainscreen cladding support systems, offering adjustable clip-and-rail and Z-girt systems that closely parallel CLADIATOR's CL-300 and Slotted-Z product lines.
- Hoffmann (US) / Hoffmann Aluminium-Technik: European-headquartered manufacturer of subframe and bracket systems for ventilated rainscreen facades, with overlapping thermal break and cladding support solutions comparable to CLADIATOR's product portfolio.
- Advanced Architectural Products (A2P): Manufacturer of continuous insulation and rainscreen support systems, including thermal clips and Z-girts that closely resemble CLADIATOR's CL-300 and Slotted-Z offerings in function and target market.
- Armatherm (Armadillo Metal Cladding): Manufacturer of thermal break products for cladding and facade applications, addressing the same thermal bridging problem as CLADIATOR's polyamide thermal break technology.
Broad incumbents
- STO Corp: Large incumbent in exterior wall claddings, EIFS, and rainscreen systems. While broader in portfolio, STO competes with CLADIATOR in the same commercial construction specification cycle and offers overlapping thermal envelope performance claims.
- Dryvit Systems: Established EIFS and continuous insulation cladding manufacturer with deep specification presence in commercial construction. Competes indirectly via integrated wall systems that include insulation and cladding support.
- Dow Building Solutions: Major building envelope materials supplier offering continuous insulation, air/water barriers, and rainscreen-adjacent products. While not a direct clip manufacturer, it shapes the broader envelope ecosystem CLADIATOR serves.
