The Metal Construction Association (MCA) presented its annual Larry A. Swaney Award to Tom Seitz. This award is bestowed upon an outstanding industry professional for their contributions to the success of the association and the betterment of the metal construction industry.
Seitz is the former director of strategic accounts at 3A Composites USA Inc., based in Davidson, N.C., where he managed business development for the company’s largest customers. Seitz has served extensively within MCA, including as a board member from 2016 until 2020. He also co-chaired the Metal Composite Material (MCM) Council and chaired the Metal Composite Material Alliance. In January 2020, he became the executive director of the Metal Composite Material Alliance.
“If anyone exemplifies the spirit and entrepreneurship of MCA’s founding president, Larry A. Swaney, it’s [Seitz],” says Brian Partyka, chair at the MCA. “[Seitz’s] impact on our industry was already tremendous when he retired. His decision to roll up his sleeves and continue to work to accelerate the MCM panel system market has been a gift to the industry.”
