Built with Metal – Ep. 011 – ATAS International

What happens at METALCON doesn’t stay at METALCON.

New products and ideas may make their debut on the show floor, but their real impact happens when they reach the jobsite.

In this special Built with Metal podcast, presented by the Metal Construction Association, host Melanie Kowal sits down with longtime MCA industry leader Jim Bush, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at ATAS International, for a preview of METALCON 2026.
