Hi Cary,
We were heavily involved with developing the industry from the early stages. I went to work for them in 1970 when systems were just being developed. John Nolan, the owner, was always searching for new and better uses for the product as well as pushing the industry into the mainstream marketplace. We built panels for UL and FM testing and worked with suppliers that have merged and reemerged so often it's hard to keep track. From the mid-1990's we worked closly with Dean Kashawagi who at Arizona State University put together the Alpha Program which most of the major players are still referencing when promoting the concept of using a 'qualified' contractor to achieve sustainable roofing.
I remember making and then taking some panels to LA somewhere to run a tunnel test but I think it was to US Testing for some of our own reports. Maybe we met in another life. It really is a small world isn't it?
