“When designing the new factory training center, we kept the contractor at the forefront of our minds,” said Steve Lockridge, senior product manager of channel marketing at Uponor. “We wanted to offer our business partners a comprehensive training experience that included knowledgeable instructors, the latest technology and hands-on opportunities.”
Company officials add that the school’s curriculum has also been updated.
“We realize the building landscape is changing with the introduction of sustainable new concepts and changes to building codes and standards,” said trainer Wes Sisco. “By offering new and advanced courses to navigate the contractor through existing and emerging technologies, we are making a concerted effort to support the industry professional and improve the building market.”
