Visit an icon of the industry, and NAWIC Platinum Sponsor, Winstone Wallboards – GIB®, and get a glimpse of what lies behind the paint. John Jamison and Arama Black will take you through a crash course of sustainability, product stewardship, and highlights of system performance. Catriona Strong and Clara Sumner will share GIB®’s commitment to women in the industry and changes experienced over 30 years of getting it done. All wrapped up with nibbles and networking to finish.

The experience will include:

A brief history of manufacturing since 1927, the focus toward product stewardship, sustainable manufacturing, delivery, and waste recovery in the construction industry.
Explore at a high level the key aspects of fire performance, noise control, bracing, and wet area performance systems, and the little tricks in detailing, specification, and installation.
Hear the People and Performance Manager Catriona Strong on women within our business. And Clara Sumner, the National Sales Manager, with insights and experience having worked her way up through GIB® over the past 30 years.
Walk through the R&D facilities to see firsthand a P21 rig for testing bracing performance to NZS3604 standards, an acoustic test rig for walls and floor/ceiling systems, the reverberation chamber, and much more from a brand that is Tried, Trusted, True.
Return to the main conference room for nibbles and networking, and the opportunity for Q&A with an expert panel from GIB®.
