Gaco Western Launches Gaco University Training School

WAUKESHA, WI - May 3, 2011 - Gaco Western is pleased to announce the opening of Gaco University at the company's state-of-the-art research and development and manufacturing facility in Waukesha, Wisconsin. The first Gaco University class taught spray polyurethane foam (SPF) applicators how to safely and effectively apply spray foam products for roofs.  Following completion of the course, contractors must have three roofs inspected and approved to become accredited and ensure that they are providing quality services.

During the first week of April more than 25 students attended the first Gaco University class. Classes are being planned throughout the remainder of 2011 to teach applicators and contractors about other Gaco products. Observing the classes, Gaco Western CEO Peter Davis noted "We provide superior products to the industry, and the quality of our products depends on the skill and expertise of trained applicators. By learning more about our products and how to use them, contractors and their employees can deliver excellent service to their customers."

Western supports SPFA accreditation as a way of providing the entire industry with up-to-date training and promoting good business practices. As part of a new and growing industry, roofing spray foam businesses must set high standards for performance.

For spray foam contractors accreditation provides several benefits:

  • Credentials - The Gaco Western classes and accreditation let contractors quote and execute spray foam projects that require education and experience as a prerequisite.  SPFA credentials allow contractors to stand out in the crowd.
  • Trained Personnel -Contractors can be assured that prospective employees have the necessary skills and experience to perform well on the job.
  • Prestige -Individuals and companies that have accreditation are recognized and respected as committed professionals.
