SEATTLE, WA – October 16, 2013 – Gaco Western is introducing a GacoWallFoam Qualified Applicator Program patterned after the new SPFA Professional Certification Program. Gaco believes in continually raising the bar on safety, performance, quality and professionalism in the SPF industry and believes the SPFA Professional Certification Program combined with the company’s own Qualified Applicator Program will contribute greatly to the success of Gaco’s contractors.

A significant element of both the SPFA Professional Certification Program and the GacoWallFoam Qualified Applicator Program is a commitment to make sure that 300 additional SPFA Certification Exams are completed by October 1, 2014. To make the process of becoming SPFA Certified easier, Gaco will be offering additional training opportunities, simplifying the registration and administration process, and subsidizing the cost of the program for Gaco contractors.

Mr. Peter Davis, Chairman and CEO, Gaco Western commented, “The SPFA Professional Certification Program is too important for our industry for the program not to be successful. The industry as a whole needs to stop talking about it and start taking action. Gaco has committed to a number – 300 – and I challenge the other system houses and spray foam manufacturers to do the same. The future of our industry depends on it.”
