Kamco provided an intimate venue for more than 500 local builders, contractors, developers and manufactures, including 100 local architects, to engage in direct interaction with building product manufacturers, learn about new materials and building techniques and explore new business opportunities while supporting regional construction growth. 

“We are in the business of building relationships and trust with our customers.  This was why we hosted the Building Trade Show,” said Allen Swerdlick, President of Kamco.  “We anticipate construction across the New York region will continue to be strong for the next several years, especially now after Mayor De Balsio’s recent announcement to focus billion dollars on affordable and middle income housing.  The goal of our event was to provide contractors and builders with a forum for engaging in direct interaction with building product manufacturers, learning about new materials and building techniques and exploring new business opportunities while supporting regional construction growth.”       

In addition to product demonstrations and educational presentations, Kamco introduced its new Kamco Drywall Forms production program.  Dry wall, essential for interior construction, must frequently be custom fabricated on job sites to cover pipes and create  column enclosures, soffits and step soffits.  Using special equipment Kamco creates custom shape drywall forms in a multitude of profiles for customers. This assists contractors in saving time and reducing both material and labor costs.
