About Us

Years ago, sales reps used a clever tactic to get their foot in the door with specifying engineers. “Can I just stop by to make sure our product catalog is up-to-date in your literature area? I’ll remove the old stuff and add anything new.” How could an engineer or a gatekeeper deny them? After all, that’s where specifiers went for all the product information they needed.

At some point, manufacturers began trying to convince engineers that flash drives are the future. The idea was short lived because around the same time, leading manufacturers began to keep updated literature on their website.

By now, most people would agree that a Google search is the best way to begin your quest for quick and reliable product information. Although, it’s still rare that “quick” and “reliable” go together to describe an internet search experience.

The term “mechanical insulation” currently offers over 75,000,000 results in a Google search. It’s a broad search phrase, but that number is outrageous if you really think about it. It’s not going to get smaller either.

The only way to make it smaller is to utilize advanced search skills. Even if you are a savvy search expert, the millions of results on a search phrase will keep growing every day as new content is live on the internet. This force will continue to work against us as we try to find “quick” and “reliable” information.

My name is Chad Rebholz, and I’m the founder of Insulpedia.com. I’ve spent most of my career in sales or technical positions in the mechanical insulation industry.

In that time, I’ve been fortunate to work with and learn from many of the most knowledgeable and talented people in our industry. At the top of that list is my father who owns and operates a manufacturing company and manufacturers rep agency.

There seems to be a common struggle among the innovators in our industry: Getting specified. More importantly, educating decision makers on the added value that can be realized by including innovative products in their design.

This website is my best ongoing effort to help bridge the gap between innovation and specification for mechanical insulation design. Insulpedia.com is essentially a platform that provides simple and FREE methods industry experts can share information about their products, services, or company. These contributions can be found in the content section of our site or its subcategories.

Industry experts that contribute content to Insulpedia.com are affiliated with a company or organization in our industry directory and we recognize them throughout the site as Authors. While Authors pay no fees related to content submissions, they may separately purchase advertising space or sponsorships. This revenue is used to cover our expenses, and allows us to invest in advanced features.

As you navigate the site, you will see their logos and ads throughout. Please visit their sites and learn more about their products and solutions.

Thank you for taking the time to learn about us and our mission.
