Congratulations goes to the Vice President of East Coast Metal Systems (ECMS), John Trifonoff, who was invited to speak at MetalCon this year.

MetalCon is the only annual international event that offers education and product exhibits focused on the use of metal in construction. Designers, builders, developers, contractors, fabricators and suppliers from more than 50 countries attend this event, and industry experts from more than 250 leading companies exhibit the latest products and technology.

The presentation was sponsored by the Metal Construction Association, through which ECMS is a Certified Premium MCM Fabricator.

John spoke on the various uses for Metal Composite Material (MCM) and how it is incorporated into creative design, pointing out the versatile range of its customizable features, such as limitless color, finish and material options. He also expanded on the extreme versatility of MCM when it comes to executing complex architectural design.

ECMS is one of 8 MCM Premium Fabricators in North America.

East Coast Metal Systems (ECMS) is an active member of the Metal Construction Association (MCA) with Engineering Manager, John Hyde, on the Technical Committee.

The MCA recently announced the formation of a brand new MCM Alliance dedicated to increasing awareness of Metal Composite Material (MCM) for the architectural building envelope, which ECMS is now involved with.

“We are seeing MCM used everywhere,” said John. “It’s important that architects and builders are aware of its versatility and the benefits of using MCM over many other materials on the market. It can be customized by shape, size, texture, color, thickness, and application method, so the possibilities are virtually limitless.”

“Leadership WV is a great program designed to educate and motivate participants regarding the strengths and challenges throughout industries across the entire state,” said ECMS VP John Trifonoff. “We were proud to share who we are and represent a large sector of the metal industry.”
