Member Spotlight

Founded 1988 | CRRC Member since 2023

Why did your organization become a CRRC member?

Central States Manufacturing became a Member of the CRRC to align with our commitment to providing education and supporting the use of cool surfaces. The CRRC operates product rating programs and maintains directories of products on their website, which are free for anyone to use. These programs are cited in codes and initiatives that encourage the use of cool surfaces, making them a valuable resource for our industry.

How has CRRC membership been of value to your organization?

By joining the CRRC, Central States Manufacturing can participate in their educational efforts and leverage their resources to enhance our own contractor training programs. This membership allows us to stay informed about the latest developments in cool roof technology and standards, ensuring that we can offer the most up-to-date and effective solutions to our clients. Additionally, being a CRRC Member provides us with opportunities to engage with a broad audience, including industry professionals, policymakers, and the general public. This helps us to promote our products and services more effectively and to collaborate on initiatives that drive the adoption of energy-efficient roofing solutions.
