Industry Veteran Frank Messa to Open Enviralum
on New Year's Day Frank Messa, formerly of SMI Systems Inc. of Miami, Fla., will
launch Enviralum Industries Inc. in Miami on January 1, 2012, according
to a news release. The new company will offer pre-glazed entrance
and storefront systems, featuring both impact- and non-impact-resistant
designs with Miami-Dade County approval. Messa sees a gap in the glass entrance and storefront marketplace, especially in Florida, where hurricane and flooding requirements can make product development especially challenging. "During the recession, many of the players in this marketplace
were bought by larger companies that didn't have a focus on the
unique needs of high velocity wind zones," Messa says in the
release. "Glazing contractors have also been hit hard, and
many don't have the manpower they once had, so this creates an opportunity
for the use of pre-glazed systems. We can offer our products unitized
and shipped directly to the job site, which we anticipate will be
our top selling line. We will also sell the components so the glazing
contractor can pre-glaze in their shop if they wish." Subscribe to USGlass magazine. |
