PAC-CLAD | Petersen Metal Panels in Texas: Premium Wall and Roof Cladding for Commercial Projects
PAC-CLAD is the architectural metal cladding brand manufactured by Petersen, a Carlisle company. Founded in 1965, Petersen produces metal wall panels, standing seam roof systems, soffit, fascia, coping, column covers, and flat sheet in multiple gauges of steel and aluminum. Every product is available in a Kynar-based 70% PVDF Fluropon coating with a 35-year finish warranty.
If you've driven past a commercial building in Texas with clean metal panel lines and color that still looks sharp after a decade in the sun, there's a good chance you're looking at PAC-CLAD.
Texas Manufacturing: The Tyler Facility
Petersen operates a full production facility in Tyler, Texas, established in 1985 to serve the southwestern United States. The Tyler plant roll-forms standing seam panels, exposed fastener panels, flush wall panels, soffit panels, and horizontal wall panels in lengths up to 64 feet. Matching flashing and trim are factory-formed at the same facility.
For Texas contractors and architects, a regional production facility means shorter lead times, reduced freight costs, and the ability to walk into a plant and discuss fabrication details in person. That's a practical advantage over manufacturers shipping from out of state.
The PAC-CLAD Product Range

Why Architects Specify PAC-CLAD
Forty-six standard colors with custom color matching. A 35-year finish warranty on Kynar coatings. CRRC-rated cool roof colors for energy code compliance and LEED contributions. BIM and CAD documents available for most products. And a 60-year track record of manufacturing consistency.
For architects working on schools, healthcare facilities, mixed-use developments, and corporate campuses in Texas, PAC-CLAD delivers the aesthetic range and long-term finish performance that the design calls for without the maintenance burden that cheaper coatings create within the first five years.
