Armstrong<\/a> in 1994 to provide technical assistance to its customers by offering a direct line of communication to Armstrong personnel, the TechLine mission statement today is the same as it was 20 years ago: \u201cTo provide timely, reliable, and accessible technical support, education, and solutions to problems so that customers can easily choose, specify, and install Armstrong products.\u201d<\/p>\nInquirers who use the service include architects, engineers, interior designers, building owners, facility managers, contractors, distributors, and code officials. In all cases, the TechLine goal is to provide first contact resolution. The service currently answers nearly 1,500 inquiries weekly.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen TechLine was created, its primary objective was to address specific project-related technical questions in a reliable, quick, and professional manner,\u201d states TechLine Manager Rick Lenhart. \u201cJudging by its continued growth in both staff and the number of inquiries, it is achieving its mission.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition, Special Item Consultants provide information regarding the availability and ordering of products outside the standard product line.<\/p>\n
