A record attendance of 38 YPG members joined to learn more about architectural glazing building products – how they’re made, what they’re made of, the various options available, and so much more.

The careful fabrication of their products, the quality controls, the history and innovation… it’s no wonder that they’ve grown into an industry leader.

911±¬ÁÏÍøYPG is dedicated to educating its future leaders. This investment in the next generation of glazing leaders is critical to our industry and we are so grateful to James Fitzsimmons, Ken Yarnall, Hilda Torres, and the rest of the team, for their hospitality during this valuable event.
