John Heinaman, Former NGA Chairman, Joins DFI Board

Irvine, CA, September 28, 2016 – Today Diamon-Fusion International (DFI) announced, today, that they are excited to welcome former NGA Chairman, John Heinaman, to their Board of Advisors. Mr. Heinaman’s 55 years of commercial glazing experience fits perfectly with DFI’s focus on driving demand for its protective coatings in the building façade market.

The benefits of Diamon-Fusion® have been proven in the market on applications such as The Old Tiffany Building in Manhattan and the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco (the ‘greenest’ museum in the world), where reducing cleaning labor and chemicals was imperative. The growing popularity of complex geometries in building façades, which can be very costly to clean, makes Diamon-Fusion® protective coating a must for building owners. For general contractors, glaziers, architects, and fabricators the unique construction-damage-resistance of Diamon-Fusion® can also save on time, money, and arguments over damaged glass.

“Building façades are the next big market for Diamon-Fusion® protective coating. Applications such as the Nike headquarters, Altreca Tower, and dozens of others are proof of both the need for and benefit of Diamon-Fusion® on exterior glass. John’s experience and insight will help us understand and communicate more effectively with that market and his general business acumen will make our entire DFI team more effective.” – Adam Zax, President, Diamon-Fusion International

John Heinaman has more than 55 years of experience in the glass industry including 25 years with PPG Industries in sales and management positions and 28 years as President and CEO of Heinaman Contract Glazing. He once served as the National Glass Association (NGA) Chairman, and in 2010 earned himself the title “Glazing Man of the Year”. And now, John Heinaman will be assisting DFI with new business development opportunities – bringing to the table years of expertise and insight.

When asked about the opportunity, John enthusiastically stated, “These are exciting times in the glass and coating industries; I am thrilled to be working with DFI to help my glass industry colleagues improve their product and business.”
