Third Bench Drives Sales Growth with New Products

New America Energy Corp., and it’s operating subsidiary, Third Bench Holdings, LLC (“Third Bench” or the “Company”), is pleased to report that the Ceilings Division of the Company’s subsidiary OGB Architectural Millwork (“OGB”) has already shattered all previous annual sales records.

By way of background, OGB first started selling Architectural Wood Ceilings in 2019 as an add on product in certain situations. Total sales in 2019 were about $100k, growing to about $425k in 2020.

In 2021, OGB first approached the Ceilings Division seriously and appointed Douglas Harrison as Product/Project Manager of the Ceilings Division. Douglas jumped in and has done a great job of accelerating the growth. In 2021 the Ceilings Division had revenue of about $825k.

Earlier in 2022, the Company promoted Douglas with a new title of Ceiling Division Manager. David Fair, CEO of the Company states, “We have been so impressed with Douglas’ work ethic and energy that he brings to the Ceilings Division. We have also been able to leverage a lot of our contacts with General Contractors from our traditional OGB business, which has been terrific.”

Adding an additional $400,000 in sales just last week, the Ceilings Division has already booked sales of $2 million for 2022.

Mr. Fair continued, “Every now and again you get lucky. You have the right capabilities and find that niche market in which you can really excel. We are overqualified for ceilings, and thusly have an advantage. Our products are fabricated with superior components, we grant a pricing advantage to our customers, and our manufacturing turnaround time is faster than the competition. If we continue to operate on this 3-fold philosophy I see no reason that we can’t continue – and accelerate – our rate of growth in the Ceilings Division of OGB”.

The Company is striving to achieve revenue of $3.5 million for 2023 and $5 million for 2024 in the Ceilings Division. These numbers would still only represent a small fraction of the overall market size for these types of ceilings, so this is an area where the Company has room to grow.
