The Architectural Glass & Metal Technician (AGMT) program certified its 1,000th glazier since the program’s start in 2019. The AGMT program is North America’s only American National Standards Institute (ANSI)-accredited, third-party assessment of an experienced glazier’s knowledge and abilities. Mike Marye (pictured) of Hoosier Glass Company, Inc. of Indianapolis, Ind., earned recognition.
“Certification is intended to provide assurance to building owners, general contractors, and other construction project stakeholders that the glazier can perform work in a manner that minimizes defects and failures and conforms to customer requirements,” explained AGMT Program Administrator Jeff Dalaba. “AGMT emphasizes mitigating defects in glazing systems,which can be costly and difficult to repair after installation, supporting a stronger construction industry and better project outcomes.”
AGI members represent one of the largest concentrations of AGMT certified glaziers in North America. To date, 146 members of Local Union 252 have earned the credential.
