Mitchell Pace & Associates Launches Environmental Building Products Division

GENESEE DEPOT, WI--(Marketwire - October 16, 2007) - Mitchell Pace & Associates, a manufacturers' representative company in the commercial and construction products industry based in Genesee Depot, Wis., is now providing sustainable and other green building products to contractors in Wisconsin and the Upper Midwest through a new division of the company.

The new division for the 69-year-old company is called Mitchell Pace Environmental and was created in response to the increasing interest in building products that are healthy alternatives and have minimal adverse impact on the Earth.

"Architects, developers and contractors are more frequently asking for sustainable and green building products for new buildings, additions or renovations," said Jeff Pace of Mitchell Pace Environmental.
