LAMATEK promotes Janine Martinez to Fenestration Sales Manager

Please join LAMATEK in congratulating Janine (Clauss) Martinez on her promotion to Fenestration Sales Manager.

This has allowed LAMATEK to develop and market new products and prepare for the market turnaround that they are now experiencing.

We are also proud to announce the promotion of Shawn Newman to Technical Sales Associate. Product design will continue to be his key responsibility. Additionally, Shawn will collaborate on projects directly with the engineering\R&D departments and provide technical assistance from the design process through to the sale. Since joining the Sales Dept, Shawn has been essential in the development of new products for our largest customers and was instrumental in the engineering and design of our new PROTEK packaging products.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Pompano Beach, FL
November 21, 2008

Glasslam N.G.I., Inc. CEO Stephen Howes has announced the official opening of Glasslam's Air-Tight(tm) insulating glass foam spacer plant in Freeport, Grand Bahama Island. According to Howes, "In only one year we have built from scratch a plant that is second to none. It has taken others decades to do what we've done. We have the capacity to run hundreds of millions of feet of the finest warm edge foam spacer products in the world. We spared no expense with equipment, and our policy of only installing the world's best delayed us a bit, but it was well worth it. I promise to personally work twice as hard during the next year to become the supplier of choice for the finest possible spacer products. It's not just business, it's a passion now."

The company has begun providing samples and taking orders and plans to sell its products worldwide from the Freeport facility. Additional capacity and locations are also being planned and developed. Company president Gerhard Reichert states, "Glasslam is in a unique position to take world class technology and lead the way toward providing manufacturers and consumers the energy efficient products needed in the global marketplace. We have put together a team that will focus on superior quality, customer service and professionalism. It's being done the way it should be done."

Glasslam has announced a ramp up schedule in production that will steadily increase its product line to fill virtually any insulating glass manufacturing requirement. First in the sequence is Air-Tight(tm) the Generic, soon followed by Air-Tight(tm) Smart Edge(tm) (with a pre-applied hot melt butyl) and Sudden Impact(tm) (an IG system providing hurricane impact glass with only two pieces of glass).

Glasslam, based in Pompano Beach, FL is a world leader in laminated glass technology and quality window components. For more information about Glasslam, including sample and pricing information, please visit www.glasslam.com or call (954) 975-3233.
