The Frameless Hardware Co. appointed Gary Sprague to the position of vice president of design and development.
“We are incredibly pleased and fortunate to have Gary on board as we continue to solidify our position and chart our path in this marketplace,” says Chris Hanstad, president of FHC. “Product innovation is one of our core principles here at FHC, and given Gary’s track record I’m confident he’ll be instrumental in taking us to the next level of product offerings. He’s been responsible for so many of this industry’s break-through products, and the most exciting thing, to me, is that he’s just getting started.”
Previously, Sprague served as vice president of design and engineering at C.R. Laurence for 20 years and 14 years prior as a manufacturer and designer of products supplied to the glass and glazing industry. Across his 30-plus-year tenure in the industry, Sprague has designed and developed more than 70 glass industry installation tools and architectural systems.
In his new role, Sprague is tasked with steering R&D and new product development for the company. Additionally, he will oversee FHC’s testing and certification programs.
FHC has multiple product launches planned for Q3 and Q4 that are planned to debut at GlassBuild America in Las Vegas later this year. For more information visit FHC-USA.com.
