The opportunity

A line you can put in front of specifiers with confidence.

Carter designs, tests, and protects its panel systems, then drives demand at the architect and specifier level. You bring the relationships; we bring a product that's already written into the project.

Patented, fully tested systems

EVO™ RIVETLESS™ and FUSION™ DRILLFREE™ are patented and fully tested, giving you a structurally superior, concealed-fastener line you can specify without hedging.

A national fabricator network

Systems are fabricated through a coast-to-coast partner network, so availability and warranty assurances stay consistent wherever you sell.

Demand pulled through the spec

Carter works to have its systems accepted in the specification process, so you're often selling into projects where the panel is already basis-of-design.

Room to grow with the network

Demand for the RIVETLESS™ and DRILLFREE™ systems is growing across America. Come in as the network expands and build a territory that grows with it.

RIVETLESS™ System

Value-engineered with an integrated stiffener and concealed fasteners, designed to withstand the harshest elements and the toughest competitors.

DRILLFREE™ System

A structurally superior and aesthetically preferred exterior cladding that gives architects and spec writers a smarter basis-of-design decision.

The complete system

Carter extrusion and etalbond® ACM, one complete assembly.

Carter doesn't just supply the extrusion and leave you to source the panel. We pair our systems with etalbond® aluminium composite material (ACM), so you can offer a complete, tested wall panel assembly that's specified and sold as a single package.

etalbond® ACM, tested to work with Carter systems.

Carter's extrusion systems and etalbond® aluminium composite material are engineered to perform as one assembly, so reps can specify and sell a complete, proven wall panel system instead of piecing a panel and a carrier system together.

Aluminium composite material

etalbond® is a premium aluminium composite material used on architectural facades worldwide, available in a fire-rated (FR) grade for demanding building envelopes.

Paired with Carter's EVO™ RIVETLESS™ and FUSION™ DRILLFREE™ extrusion, the panel and the carrier system come as a matched set, backed by documentation you can put in front of specifiers.
