The Metal Construction Association announced in a news release last month that it has reinvigorated its MCM System Fabricator Certification program.
Through the program, companies that fabricate metal composite material (MCM) panels for architectural use can earn certification by meeting requirements for experience, services, MCM system performance, and financial strength.
The MCA says certification gives fabricators a competitive advantage in winning high-end projects and qualifying for more design specifications. Thanks to its independently verified qualifications, certified companies can use the MCA Certified System Fabricator logo to promote the achievement; MCA provides marketing materials to help them leverage their certification.
“This certification program provides peace of mind to the building team,” said Tom Seitz, MCA’s MCM Alliance executive director. “The architect has peace of mind regarding the system’s design performance … the general contractor looks for peace of mind with the system installation, and the owner looks for peace of mind with the system’s longevity and functionality of their building façade,”
With 13 companies certified, Seitz said MCA is working to increase awareness of and participation in the program.
