21 April 2010 – With new products on the horizon for release and a skilled professional engineer with a new master’s of business administration (MBA) degree under his belt, North American Green (NAG) has married innovation with expertise in the erosion control industry. Appointing Mr. Gabe Weaver to the new position of manager of engineering and business development will allow NAG to leverage Mr. Weaver’s aptitude in civil engineering and utilize his recently earned and nationally ranked MBA education to his full potential.
“In this position, Mr. Weaver’s primary responsibilities will include driving specification development for North American Green’s patented Vmax3® Composite Turf Reinforcement Mats, our new ShoreMax™ Soft Revetment Scour Protection Mats and our expanding HydraMatriCx™ Series hydraulic erosion control product (HECP) line,” announced President Tim Lancaster in a congratulatory letter addressed to fellow employees of the organization.
“The objective of my new position is simply to ‘grow the company’ by managing, directing and driving innovation for North American Green,” says the newly appointed Mr. Weaver. “I am extremely excited to be given the opportunity to not only raise the bar for our organization, but for the industry as well. This is a challenge that I fullly embrace and look forward to.”
Before obtaining this new position, Mr. Weaver was the manager of new products and technology development for NAG for over four years and has been in the civil engineering industry for eleven years. He oversaw product development from conception, to technical assessment and testing concepts, to implementation and market analysis. Mr. Weaver will continue to function as the technical liaison to key industry organizations such as the Erosion Control Technology Council (ECTC) and the American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM).
“I’m excited to have the opportunity to work closely with Mr. Weaver and our sales, marketing and support teams to accomplish these imperative goals,” said National Sales Manager Robert Lawson. “I especially look forward to his assistance obtaining state DOT approvals and specifications for our new products being released mid-year.”
