VIC International has announced the first concrete polishing “green” certification program in the industry, with full implementation scheduled for mid-year 2007. VIC International is now certified as a “green” process by Green Spec and is being listed in the Green Spec Directory.
To become certified as part of the VIC International Certified Green Applicator program, a contractor must have: professional experience polishing a certain amount of square feet of concrete; a history working with larger customers; a truck, trailer, grinding equipment, generator, and manpower; credit approval; and at least five references. In addition, the contractor must attend quarterly applicator meetings held and catered by VIC International.
In the wake of the new certification program, VIC International has named a new management team for its surface prep division. Bill Beres has been named director of the division, Shannon Stone and Don Dagenhart were named technical sales and support, and Brent Knox was named to technical support and acting architect.
Furthermore, VIC International has forged a relationship with Middle Tennessee State University Concrete Industry Management Program, the first four-year program in the United States to offer a B.S. degree in concrete industry management. VIC International has been appointed to the program’s executive advisory council.
