A primary focus of Business Development, at AmeriLux International, is reaching the Architectural glazing and daylighting market. The inclusion of a licensed architect on this Business Development team adds experience, insight and understanding unique to the field of architecture. Through the use of in-person and distance learning programs AmeriLux is working to educate architects, designers, and contractors on the benefits of multiwall polycarbonate as a translucent daylighting material. This education and support is taken to an individual level through customer and project specific involvement. Finding the best solution for all parties involved and ultimately the end user is the first priority. Understanding the whole design process and design intent of projects helps AmeriLux offer the best possible solution.
