VMZINC-US, a leading specialist in innovative zinc products, has announced that the company has partnered with MetannaSM, the metal roofing industry leader for solar roofing solutions, to deliver sustainable roof systems that prefer solar energy as the perfect solution to the world’s growing energy concerns. As two independently green businesses, the VMZINC and Metanna partnership will advance the development of more sustainable structures that will conserve energy in order to leave a reduced carbon footprint while saving building owners substantial dollars of ongoing operating costs.
“VMZINC® is honored to partner with an innovative and forward-thinking company like MetannaSM,” said Daniel Nicely, managing director at VMZINC -US and Umicore Building Products, USA Inc. “We feel that this partnership is the perfect solution to the world’s growing energy concerns, as it is a perfect marriage between sustainable roof systems and solar energy technologies. We look forward to continuing to provide all current and prospective clients with the most advanced and state-of-the-art roof system solutions.”
“Construction costs happen once, but operating costs go on forever,” said Gary Manlove, business development manager at Metanna. “In 2013 the solar industry grew by 41% and was the second fastest growing energy sector.” As more and more municipalities pass legislation that require solar ready design as a minimum, this will assure that future implementation is more cost effective, and this sector will continue to boom. We are very pleased to join forces with a company such as VMZINC to increase solar roofing options on metal roofs to businesses and municipalities nationwide.”
