and composite applications, and strengthen support for the company's
GacoSeal products used in metal building construction.
"We
are thrilled to deploy new technologies to boost our manufacturing
efficiency and seed innovation through a new sealant tape R&D Center
of Excellence," said Kevin Page, Vice President – Commercial, Gaco
