Here’s what’s been trending on RoofersCoffeeShop® (RCS) this past September. 

September turned out to be a busy month full of important news and exciting announcements for the industry. Kingspan announced their acquisition of IB Roof Systems, marking their entrance into the U.S. market. This move offers them a great opportunity to see growth as a leader in the U.S single-ply market. Kingspan and IB Roof Systems representatives are excited about the possibilities and successes this acquisition will bring in the coming years.  

The National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA) successfully launched their new Spanish membership website during the month of September. This will allow current NRCA members to access exclusive Spanish-only content from the association and is designed to offer a wide range of educational resources. NRCA members can access the website by simply logging into their accounts.  

Our most popular article from September showcased the incredible partnership between S-5! and National Women in Roofing (NWIR) as they came together to give back to the industry through their joint initiative — the NWIR & S-5! Scholarship. This scholarship is designed to provide support to recipients in pursuing educational and professional aspirations within the industry.
