Corporate History
Superior Walls of America, Ltd. was founded in 1981 by Lancaster County home builder Mel Zimmerman after years of research and development on a precast foundation system. The system was designed to eliminate age-old problems of home building while providing a quick and easy way to build better and dry basements.
- In 1986, Superior Walls established its first licensed operation. Superior Walls has since grown into a multi-site manufacturing operation by licensees throughout the United States and Canada.
- Continued growth and demand led Superior Walls to establish a new corporate headquarters in the rolling hills of New Holland, Pennsylvania in 2000.
- Superior Walls was featured in the March 2001 issue of Popular Science magazine for having received the National Association of Home Builders “Innovative Housing Technology Award.”
- Also during 2001 and 2002, Superior Walls was the foundation of choice for the New American Home at the International Builders’ Show.
- In early 2003, Superior Walls introduced the new Xi wall to eager builders and homeowners. With added insulation and strength, the improved wall became the benchmark for residential precast foundations.
- In 2007, Superior Walls was selected as the foundation provider of choice for the Renewed American Home.
- In 2008, Superior Walls Xi wall panels were used as the foundation for the This Old House Weston Project.
- In 2009, Superior Walls became the seventy-first product and one of the first 25 manufacturers to have products approved to earn points toward the NAHB Research Center National Green Building Certification.
- After years of supplying Superior Walls foundations, Superior Walls signed on as a supporter of ABC-TV’s popular show Extreme Makeover: Home Edition in 2010. The company supplied and installed custom-made energy-efficient basement and crawl space foundations for a variety of homes featured on the home improvement show.
- In 2011, Superior Walls renewed their relationship with ABC-TV’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.
- Also in 2011, Superior Walls introduced the Ui Wall – an uninsulated, four-foot high precast concrete foundation designed primarily for use in garages.
