SAFTI FIRST® ACQUIRES MIKE AUGUSTINE AS NATIONAL TECHNICAL DIRECTOR AND ARCHITECTURAL REPRESENTATIVE

Brisbane, CA (December 8, 2015) – SAFTI FIRST®, leading USA-manufacturer of advanced fire rated glass and framing systems, is pleased to announce the addition of Mike Augustine as National Technical Director and Architectural Representative effective immediately. In his new role, Mike will focus on strengthening relationships with the architectural and glazing communities by being a valuable resource for technical, code and product information.

Mike has over 19 years of experience in the fenestration industry, working for reputable companies such as Arc Specs (an EFCO sales representative), Wausau Window and Wall System and Oldcastle Building Envelope. He graduated with a BA of Business Administration from Kent State University in Ohio.

Tim Nass, VP of National Sales at SAFTI FIRST®, explains that Mike will be our fire rated product expert “as fire rated glass and framing systems are complex. They are not only application driven, but require the full knowledge of codes. We looked for someone who had an in-depth understanding of commercial construction process and specifically commercial glazing systems. Mike has proven his ability as a go-to glazing industry consultant. His addition will strengthen our service to the architectural community. He brings with him vast experience of consulting within the fenestration industry.”
