Detroit, Michigan, USA, July 17, 2024 —Duravent Group, a recognized leader in venting and air control industries, today announced a significant strategic partnership with RUTLAND, the oldest U.S. manufacturer of trusted premium products for fireplace, chimney, and stove maintenance. The partnership between Duravent Group and RUTLAND unites two storied American companies with long-standing commitments to quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction, with a combined legacy of over 260 years expertise.

This collaboration will allow Duravent Group to offer customers an extensive array of high-quality, domestically produced products that enhance and expand their current hearth offerings of all fuel chimney, gas vent, pellet vent, and stove pipe, across Duravent Group’s legacy of brands (Amerivent, Duravent, Security Chimneys, Selkirk and now RUTLAND).

This combination now offers customers the broadest range of solutions to meet consumer needs.

“We are thrilled to embark on this strategic partnership with RUTLAND,” said Simon A.

We are excited to expand our product portfolio and enhance our ability to serve our customers, further strengthening our leadership position in the industry.”
