Ashland very much wants to partner with entrepreneurs to develop new applications and inventions that will ultimately grow the industry.
Dublin, Ohio (PRWEB) June 26, 2014
Design flexibility. Warmer, drier homes. Healthier, more comfortable living spaces. Ours is a material world and composites technologies like those from Ashland Performance Materials, a commercial unit of Ashland Inc. (NYSE:ASH), are helping to develop the materials of the future.
Ashland has long been in the lead of bringing the composites and building community together beginning with CompositeBuild.com, an unbranded, web-based resource for learning about composites and connecting the building industry to composite materials. At the last four Greenbuild expos, Ashland stayed the course exhibiting under the CompositeBuild.com banner, further elevating awareness of composites technologies by providing education and sharing knowledge.
Now, in a bigger, more-public way than ever done in the past, Ashland will be driving composite education and industry growth by not only exhibiting, but also by sponsoring the common area in the first composites pavilion at a U.S. building and construction show – the 2014 American Institute of Architects (AIA) Convention and Expo. Representatives from Ashland will be on hand to meet with customers and prospects who want to work together to grow the composites industry.
To learn more, visit Ashland in booth #2008/#2009 or follow us on Twitter at the 2014 AIA Convention and Expo. The AIA Convention and Expo runs from June 26-28 and connects the world’s brightest architects, designers, innovators, provocateurs and thought leaders all in one place at one time, in the heart of America’s architectural epicenter – Chicago.
“The composites technologies we are providing to the building and construction industry present a multitude of advantages versus traditional materials,” explains Andy Beer, leader, Composites, North America, Ashland Performance Materials. “Ashland very much wants to partner with entrepreneurs to develop new applications and inventions that will ultimately grow the industry. We are fully committed to educating those unfamiliar with the composites story, how they’ve advanced over the years and the opportunities that exist within the commercial and residential home building space.”
