  Columbia Green Technologies designs and supplies made-in-USA green roof products engineered for simple installation, plant health, and maximum stormwater management. Its product line aims to manage the quality and quantity of stormwater, reduce energy use and costs, and reduce air and water pollution. Columbia Green partners with leading roofing and waterproofing manufacturers to offer single-source warranties. The company says it is experiencing rising demand across North America and will use new funding to expand sales and presence in key markets. The green roof market has seen sustained double-digit growth, with over 20 million square feet (about $500M) installed in 2013 alone, supporting the company’s expansion opportunity. Columbia Green has received recognition—ranked the 13th fastest-growing private company in Oregon in 2013 and identified by Lux Research as a dominant player in the green roof market. Columbia Green Technologies develops vegetative roof systems and related eco-technology to manage stormwater quantity and quality, reduce energy use, and address air and water pollution. The company is a U.S. manufacturer distributing products domestically and internationally. It announced a $1.2 million funding round that was oversubscribed and added new investors including The Ashforth Company. Proceeds are earmarked for R&D, boosting sales and marketing, and increasing workforce to scale operations and innovation. Earlier this year Columbia Green opened a new office in Boston to support eastern and central territories and launched a new website to reach growing global demand. The announcement cites rapid industry growth—115% in 2011—and a projected U.S. green-roof market of $525 million by the end of 2012, underscoring market tailwinds for the company.
