ROCKWOOL North America

Commercial building professionals gathered virtually and in-person in New York yesterday for our highly anticipated ROCKonnect Masterclass, diving into the significant changes in NYC's building codes and exploring the advantages of Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems (EIFS). This was not just another webinar – it was a deep dive into solutions and insights from the best in the field. Key highlights include: 📌 Expert insights: Renowned speakers Bill Egan, Ryan Martin, Rob Klein, and Todd Kimmel shared their invaluable expertise on the evolving landscape of exterior wall construction and how to navigate these changes effectively. 📌 Hands-on demonstration: Participants enjoyed a live wet wall demonstration, showcasing the practical application of EIFS and stone wool insulation in real-world scenarios. 📌 Continuing education: Attendees earned up to 3 CE credits while gaining crucial knowledge on the performance and compliance of EIFS with drainage systems, innovative uses of stone wool insulation in full and hybrid systems, and best practices for detailing and installing EIFS, particularly using stone wool as the lamina substrate.

It’s never too early to get the next generation excited about careers in manufacturing! ROCKWOOL was proud to host West Virginia University STEM students at our Ranson facility on October 16. They got an up-close look at how we apply industry-leading practices to create sustainable building materials. As student Md Masud shared, "I believe it's important for students to have industrial visits so they can connect their textbook knowledge with real-world applications." We're thrilled to be part of the Eastern Panhandle’s efforts to connect with bright young minds as they explore future career paths. Great experience for the students, great for local businesses, and great for ROCKWOOL! #ROCKWOOL #CareersInManufacturing #HandsOnLearning #ManufacturingCareers #BuildingMaterials #Manufacturing #FactoryTour

In this short video interview at New York Climate Week, ROCKWOOL Group CEO Jes Munk Hansen speaks with Climate Group on how ROCKWOOL is prioritising climate action in our own operations as well as on collectively overcoming barriers to faster climate action more broadly. On the former, Jes highlights renovating our own buildings for greater energy efficiency – that for the five most recent renovations, we have reduced energy consumption between 60 and 80 percent. And about decarbonising our production processes. On overcoming barriers to collective climate action, Jes draws on previous experience in pointing to stronger, more ambitious regulations in the building materials sector to accelerate action on energy efficiency in buildings. It’s not every day that a CEO calls for more government regulation! 🎯 You can watch the video here, courtesy of the Climate Group. #ROCKWOOL #ClimateAction #EnergyEfficiency #Decarbonisation #BuildingRegulations
