Trex: The Birth of Composite Decking in the United States

Trex’s journey began with a groundbreaking vision by Roger Wittenberg in 1988, who combined sawdust from furniture factories with recycled plastic bags to create a new kind of composite decking material. This ultimately led to the creation of Trex Company, Inc., transforming the decking industry and setting new standards for durability, aesthetics, and environmental responsibility.

From its early days, Trex has been committed to reshaping outdoor living with products that are not only beautiful but also built to last, all while upholding a commitment to sustainability. The company’s decking solutions, renowned for their quality and durability, offer a superior alternative to traditional wood decking.
