We’ve got a special edition of the From the Fabricator podcast for you out now. Kicking it off with the outgoing Chair of the NGA, Brian Hale of Hale Glass. Fun and wide-ranging conversation with a guy who has had an amazing 45+ year run in the business.
Each day, we’re given choices in the glass industry, choices that can cost us, our companies or our customers money. Sometimes, it might be tempting to go the easier route, the way that is less expensive in the short term. But it’s important to weigh the consequences of these decisions.

Representing a $131 billion dollar industry, parking garage construction is a significant segment of the building market. Garage facade construction can be dynamic, and can include a range of finished architectural aluminum products.
Obviously everything in the industry right now is GlassBuild focused, so of course the latest Glass Magazine leads with it and goes in heavy on the event. If you are attending, being prepared by checking out that issue now will really help you get ready for the show. If you are not attending, you can at least learn a bit of what the latest and greatest of what will be happening in Atlanta in a few weeks.
I get asked a ton on “trends” and what I see coming down the path, so I am pretty stoked that I’ll soon have the ability to moderate a panel all about trends and what is next! At GlassBuild on day one; the very first session on the Main Stage at 10:30 a.m., the panel will be focused on trends and happenings to watch in our space. The panel is absolutely rock solid awesome.
