METALCON 2019 COMES TO THE CITY OF STEEL
Oct. 16–18 in Pittsburgh

This year, METALCON will bring together industry leaders from all over the world to Pittsburgh, PA. What better city than the birthplace of the steel industry? And what better venue than the LEED® Platinum Certified David L. Lawrence Convention Center, backdropped by the Allegheny River? The stage is set for the best METALCON yet.

"The real judge of quality in a show is how it helps you build relationships. METALCON keeps drawing a fresh audience, and that expands our opportunities to establish new relationships each year." —Ed Karper, Dura Coat Products, Inc.

"The emphasis on electronics may work well for marketing, but when it comes to our products, the contactors have to see them and understand how they can use them. It has to be face-to-face, and that’s why we’re at METALCON – to meet and talk with contractors." —Dale Nelson, Roof Hugger

THIS MONTH'S METAL OF HONOR
Roofing For Robotics

Whether developing highly advanced data server racks for the military or educational toys to inspire the next generation of engineers, Innovation First International is at the forefront of robotics. The design concept for their Greenville, Texas headquarters called for a metal roof system in the form of Metl-Span’s high-performance CFR 42 insulated standing seam panel.

The panels' sleek 2-inch standing seam provides long, even sightlines, further contributing to the project’s industrial aesthetic. The panels feature an innovative weathertight vertical seam, which saves on installation thanks to fewer side joints. Factory-cut panel ends and factory notching also helped eliminate field work and erection costs.
