All Weather Insulated Panels Joins MBMA As Associate Member

Cleveland, OH - The membership ranks of the Metal Building Manufacturers Association (MBMA) are continuing to expand, with the recent addition of All Weather Insulated Panels (AWIP) as the group's 59th Associate member.

In March, MBMA’s board approved AWIP’s application to join the organization’s ranks as an Associate member. Kim Harrell, national sales manager for AWIP, will serve as his company’s MBMA delegate.

Founded in 2006 with headquarters in Vacaville, Calif., All Weather Insulated Panels is a Vicwest company, which provides customers with a broad line of insulated wall and roof panels and a full range of complementary trims and accessories. AWIP operates three state-of-the-art, continuous line manufacturing facilities in Vacaville, Calif., Little Rock, Ark., and Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.

The MBMA is comprised of metal building system manufacturers and their suppliers who fabricate or manufacture materials for its member companies, and also architecture and engineering firms and service providers. Members of all classes are industry advocates who promote metal as the preferred building solution for low-rise, non-residential construction projects.

The Associate member program, instituted in 1995, helps shape MBMA’s direction and activities. The Associate Member Advisory Council is one example of these industry leaders working together to influence the prominence of metal building systems. The council is composed of a broad cross-section of representatives from major product categories seeking to educate and inspire the building community. Their efforts also fuel MBMA’s success as a top authority on commercial metal buildings.

“The high-level expertise and knowledge our Associate members bring to the industry helps promote the universal acceptance of metal building systems in the low-rise commercial market,” said Dan Walker, PE, associate general manager of MBMA. “Associate member delegates and their companies are vital to growing the industry and keeping us ahead of the curve.”
