Vitro Architectural Glass (formerly PPG Glass) announced that Bradley P. Boone has been appointed director, OEM (original equipment manufacturers) segment, for residential glass and specialty glass markets.
A 39-year company veteran, Boone has spent his entire career in the glass business, primarily in glass manufacturing and in the technical support, sales and marketing of glass products.

During his career, Boone spent more than 10 years in float- and fabricated-glass manufacturing and has provided technical and customer support for well-known Vitro Glass brands such as Solarban® and Sungate® low-emissivity (low-e) glasses. He also was manager of Intercept spacer technology for five years.
