Firestone Building Products Company, LLC announced a number of promotions to
support growth within Firestone’s roofing systems and building envelope
solutions. The new teams, effective January 1, 2011, have been identified as
follows:
FSBP Research and Development will support the development of a wide
array of durable, sustainable and recyclable products and processes, working to
have a positive impact on the environment. Jeff Henegar, formerly general
manager of Firestone Energy Solutions, will now serve as director, research and
development.
Firestone Energy Solutions was launched in October 2009, providing
products, systems and services that assist in conservation and the production of
energy for the commercial building envelope. Energy Solutions will continue to
identify opportunities to expand “green” offerings within the domestic roofing
market for solar panels and daylighting. Gary Thompson, formerly general manager
of GenFlex Roofing Solutions, will now serve as general manager, Firestone
Energy Solutions.
With over 30
years in the single-ply industry, GenFlex Roofing Solutions is a leading, full-line supplier of high quality
single-ply roofing products for the commercial roofing market. With new efforts
focused on reaching the residential market, GenTite RRS will offer a complete
line of commercial grade products for the LBM channel. Eric Ziemba,
formerly regional business manager for the North Central region of the
United
States, will now serve as general manager,
GenFlex Roofing Solutions.
Building Envelope Solutions was created to develop a dedicated team who
will provide a committed, singular voice to the architect, specifier and
building owner market segments to support growth of the building envelope. The
building envelope reaches beyond rooftops on commercial buildings and
encompasses wall panels and insulation, skyscapes, daylighting and other
watertight features in and around the property. John Bernardi, formerly vice
president of strategic planning, has accepted the position of vice president,
business development, overseeing the new Building Envelope Solutions
department.
The Building Envelope Solutions group will work closely with the
company’s core domestic roofing sales team, headed by industry veteran Bob
Delaney, vice president, roofing system sales. And as chief operating officer,
Mike Vall will ensure the company’s high-quality product manufacturing and
efficient logistics operations are consistently maintained and strive for
continuous improvement.
“We have assembled a strong team to meet the growth and evolution of the
building envelope,” said Ken Weaver, president of Firestone Building Products,
and chairman, CEO and president, Firestone Diversified Products. “These staffing
changes within the Firestone Diversified Products family give us a number of
opportunities to provide even greater levels of service and continued delivery
of premium products to our customers.”
