PAULSBORO, N.J., Jan. 22, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- McGrory
Glass, one of the largest family-owned architectural glass
companies in the country, announced that Ben Haigh has joined the company as Senior
Director of the Fire-Rated Division.
"We are excited that Ben has joined our Fire-Rated Division at
McGrory, and will help us continue to bring innovative fire-rated
and security solutions to the architectural community," says
Chris McGrory, CEO and President of
McGrory Glass. "Ben brings a vast knowledge of fire-rated solutions
and building codes that will directly benefit our clients."
McGrory is a national fabricator and distributor of fire-rated
and architectural glass solutions, offering decades of experience
and end-to-end customer support.
"Since McGrory is that end-to-end manufacturer, we can
seamlessly integrate multiple products – fire-rated to security,
security to architectural," Haigh says. "This saves architects the
headache of having to consult with vendors and manage different
installs, making it easier to carry design intent throughout a
building. All of these options are fabricated here in the United States. We have complete in-house
control with respect to production and can provide comprehensive
solutions in any sector."
"Our team has the agility to bring new products to market very
quickly—and also pivot based on our customers' needs," Haigh
continues. "For two decades, I've been involved in a large number
of architectural projects, working with architects and glaziers,
where I act as a 'fire-rated problem-solver.' Because it's not just
a code-driven business. There's also a vital design requirement… a
certain aesthetic that is key to the space. I can look at their
design vision and quickly recommend a solution that marries code
requirements with aesthetic considerations."
Working with the best fire-rated suppliers in the industry –
AGC, Forster, and SCHOTT - McGrory provides environmentally
sustainable fire-rated system solutions, with superior
sightlines.
Prior to joining McGrory Glass, Haigh spent 19 years with a
leading glass organization, where he focused on fire-rated glass,
glazing, and assembly systems. "My experience in research and
development dovetails with McGrory's forward-looking approach to
offering innovative fire-rated glass products and framing systems,"
he says.
"I'm thrilled to join a team where I can not only share my
accumulated knowledge, but also bring my specific skill set to
bear," Haigh says. "McGrory Glass has been a leader in the industry
for over 35 years, and I am excited to help the team bring our
unique blend of innovation, grit, and experience to even more
clients."
Haigh holds a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration
from Pacific Lutheran University.
Originally hailing from Washington
state, Haigh now resides in Montana where he enjoys hiking and skiing the
beautiful mountain ranges.
