1. | BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION
Trex Company, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the Company), a Delaware corporation, was incorporated on September 4, 1998. The Company’s principal business based on net sales is the manufacture and distribution of wood/plastic composite products, as well as related accessories, primarily for residential and commercial decking and railing applications. A majority of its products are manufactured in a proprietary process that combines reclaimed wood fibers and scrap polyethylene. On July 31, 2017, through its newly-formed, wholly-owned subsidiary, Trex Commercial Products, Inc., the Company acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Staging Concepts Acquisition, LLC (SC Company) and thus expanded its markets to include the design, engineering and marketing of modular and architectural railing systems and solutions for the commercial and multifamily markets, and a provider of staging, acoustical and seating systems for commercial markets, including sports stadiums and performing arts venues. Additional information on the acquisition of SC Company is presented in Note 3. The principal executive offices are located at 160 Exeter Drive, Winchester, Virginia 22603, and the telephone number at that address is (540) 542-6300. Subsequent to the acquisition, the Company operates in two reportable segments, Trex Residential Products and Trex Commercial Products.
