Quartapella comes to Laminators Inc. with a background in 3D – BIM (Building Information Modeling) Coordination. For over 10 years, Quartapella ran his own business generating and managing 3D representations of physical and functional characteristics of physical infrastructures across various trades including Mechanical (architectural), Electrical and Plumbing.  Quartapella has also designed, fabricated and installed sheet metal and HVAC equipment for over 15 years.

In the Assistant Fabrication Project Lead position, Quartapella will perform a wide array of tasks such as develop field measurements through site visits, produce shop drawings, produce fabrication drawings, perform material takeoffs, and provide sales support relative to fabricated ACM products.  Quartapella will be a vital asset in the fabrication department.

In addition, Laminators is proud to announce that James J. (JJ) Marks, who has been with the company for over a year, has passed his Principals and Practice of Engineering exam, making him a licensed professional engineer in the state of Pennsylvania.  The licensure process for engineers is an eight year process that involves getting an engineering degree from an accredited university (first four-years), and then working under the supervision of licensed engineers for a period of no less than four years.  There are two eight-hour long exams that must be passed in order to attain licensure. The last exam, the Principals and Practice of Engineering exam, takes hundreds of hours of preparation and is similar in difficulty to other professional licensure examinations like the bar exam, the medical boards or the CPA exams.

Shriver and Marks report directly to Laminators’ Director of Engineering, Christopher Bucci, MEng.CE, PE.; Quartapella reports directly to Laminators’ National Sales Manager for the Architectural Division, Shawn Crouthamel.
