Welcome to the March edition of the SHAPES Unlimited Newsletter, where we highlight key updates across the company – from celebrating 30 years of SHAPES and the opening of our new 80,000 sq. ft. North Jackson headquarters, to the strong momentum generated at FENCETECH 2026 and the continued expansion of the PrimeAlux Aluminum Slat System across residential and light commercial markets. This issue also shares our 2025 Net Promoter Score results, introduces new team members supporting our growth, and looks ahead to Q2 initiatives including the PrimeAlux Dealer Approach rollout, R&D collaboration, and expanded outreach to builders and architects.
SHAPES March 2026 Newsletter
Fencetech 2026 It’s a Wrap
SHAPES Unlimited, Inc. — Booth 617 wrapped up strong at FENCETECH 2026.
The show floor delivered—great conversations, real networking, and strong interest in what SHAPES is building. From smarter aluminum fence and railing systems to PrimeAlux solutions, the response confirmed what we already know: the industry is looking for better-engineered alternatives that actually perform in the field.
Big thanks to everyone who stopped by, asked hard questions, and shared what they’re seeing in their markets. If we didn’t get enough time together on the floor, let’s keep the conversation going.

Remebering Martin Luther King Jr.
SHAPES Unlimited, Inc. knows this iconic quote is as relevant today as it was then.
We believe real progress whether in leadership, innovation, or business is built on more than knowledge alone. It’s driven by integrity, accountability, and the character to do what’s right, even when it’s hard.
As we reflect on Martin Luther King’s legacy, we’re reminded that education, growth and leadership are responsibilities.
How we lead matters. How we treat people matters. The standards we set today shape tomorrow.
Let’s keep raising the bar on intelligence and character.

Spreading Holiday Cheer at SHAPES Unlimited!
If you heard bells jingling, holiday music echoing through the aisles, or uncontrollable laughter this morning… you weren’t imagining it. Big Santa and his Little Elf officially took over SHAPES Unlimited, spreading holiday cheer, handing out smiles, and inspecting the Naughty & Nice List (preliminary findings show we’re mostly safe).
From the front office to the warehouse, they made their rounds, thumbs-up blazing, and enough seasonal spirit to power the entire facility.
The reactions were priceless. The grins were real. And the photos? Legendary.
Whether you caught a quick visit or were lucky enough to snap a picture with them, one thing’s clear: the SHAPES team knows how to bring the holidays to life.
This season is always a whirlwind, but moments like this, shared laughter, team energy, and a little ridiculousness, remind us what makes this place special. Thank you for leaning in, having fun, and keeping the SHAPES spirit strong as we close out an incredible year.
Happy Holidays to all, and rumor has it Santa and the Elf may be back next year with an upgraded sleigh (forklift-compatible, of course).
Stay jolly, stay merry, and keep making SHAPES proud.
