20 years of saving lives and protecting property

Four Tough Tek Metals team members stand securely atop their latest product – a patent pending hurricane screen, designed to withstand the strongest of hurricane impact equivalent to a 9 pound 2x4 shot at 50 feet per second.

Celebrating 20 years of protection, and launching their new, more appropriate brand name of Tough Tek Metals, Lansing Housing Products is inviting the public to join them for an open house on Thursday, May 25, from 2 to 7 p.m., at their Lansing location, 331 Platt Street. 

Keeping a business alive in Lansing was the impetus of forming Lansing Housing Products in 2003. From that point on, the company that originally focused on building reliable, long-lasting screen doors and security screens has been innovating ways to not only continue to better protect property, but save lives and protect from injury as well.  

Developing a unique, lightweight and patented child screen product began in 2006, working with a Child Advocacy organization from Minneapolis, and with enthusiastic support from the National Association for Child Window Safety. Now, they have been contacted with interested organizations from Italy and Japan, who wish to utilize this innovative solution to a problem that affects many children across the globe.

“We currently have 50,000 child screens across the U.S. in military installation housing,” noted Brian Houlihan, CEO of Tough Tek Metals. “And that’s why we do it, to save lives. We’re pretty proud of that.” They also have durable hail screens for property protection, in addition to security screens and storm doors.

“We have a 20-year warranty on the child screens, and that’s indicative of what we produce. We build things to last. We have a good culture in the building and a strong team. I am so proud of the group we have here in Lansing,” Houlihan added. 

Not only is Tough Tek Metals glad to celebrate being a part of the Lansing Community, they recently created the iron railing installed as part of the renovations of the Main Street Plaza in the town.  Now a piece of Tough Tek Metals will truly be a part of the Lansing Landscape for generations to come.

Stop by their Open House May 25 to congratulate this soon-to-be-international company in the Driftless.
