October 31, 2018/in Blog, Terra Cotta Masonry

The Association for Preservation Technology International (APT) 2018 Conference wrapped up on September 27th in Buffalo, New York. 2018 marked the 50th year for this multi-disciplinary, membership organization dedicated to promoting the best technology for conserving and preserving historic structures. This annual conference provided a unique opportunity for experts in the industry to network and exchange ideas, and with this year’s conference being located in Buffalo, NY, it gave participants an opportunity to learn and interact directly with John Krouse, CEO of Boston Valley Terra Cotta.
