Honoring Mark's life and accomplishments.

We are deeply saddened to share that my longtime pillar of the metal building community Mark James passed away on Sunday, March 22, 2026. Mark is survived by his wife of 55 years Paula, his son Jarrod, his grandchildren Brooklyn, Harley, Julian and his great-grandson Trevon. A service will be held in Dallas in the near future.

Mark’s career began remarkably early. At just eight years old, he worked as a blueprint boy for his father’s company. He later attended the University of Missouri and continued his education at night through the Finlay School of Engineering in Kansas City, Missouri.

In the late 1970s, Mark designed roof systems using dimensional lumber to retrofit flat roofs with truss-framed sloped roofs — Ultimately contributing to more than 30 million square feet of retrofit projects. In 1981, he was recruited by Kirby Building Systems as their Special Projects Manager, prompting a move to Houston, Texas. In 1984, he accepted a district manager position with United Structures of America, and four years later, in 1988, he became a partner in Genesis Group, Inc. of Baton Rouge, where he worked on both new metal buildings and retrofit projects.

Moving now to Dallas, Texas, Mark joined Roof Hugger, Inc. in 2009, where his impact was immediate and lasting. He developed standard details, product specifications, sales presentations and represented the company at numerous industry association meetings. He became deeply involved in the Metal Construction Association (MCA), eventually serving as chairman of the retrofit council. In that role, he helped create many of the AIA education programs that continue
to be used today.

He was a familiar face at RCI (now IIBEC), MBCEA and other industry organizations. Mark also played a major role in creating and setting up many of the METALCON Live Demo displays, including the Metal Roofing Games Competition and the Solar Bay exhibit. To say he was well known in our industry is an understatement.

After retiring from Roof Hugger in 2014, Mark founded his consulting firm, RetroSpec, LLC, continuing to advise Roof Hugger, MCA and many other metal-related companies. He and Paula then moved to Hot Springs, Arizona, where they enjoyed a beautiful home and surroundings and after buying a large camper, they traveled across the country while he continued consulting remotely.

In 2019, Mark received MCA’s prestigious Larry A. Swaney Award, recognizing his commitment to communication, cooperation, unity and the advancement of the metal construction industry. Beyond his professional achievements, Mark was an accomplished artist, cabinet maker and interior designer. He loved his family deeply, and those of us who knew and worked with him will miss him profoundly.

The show’s growth in technical education and charitable outreach demonstrates why it remains a cornerstone event for the metal construction industry. 

Another successful METALCON is in the books, and the conversations leading up to the event offered valuable insight into why the show continues to resonate with industry professionals. In this MetalCast™ episode recorded before the expo, Karen Edwards spoke with METALCON Tradeshow Director Judy Geller about what makes the event unlike any other. 

Judy emphasized the show’s singular focus on metal and its role as a comprehensive education hub. “One of the things that we feel very, very strongly about is that METALCON is the only show that is really all about metal construction,” she stated. “We are well aware that there are a lot of other shows out there. But this is the only show that completely focuses on the application of metal in construction and design.” 

To take advantage of their unique position in the industry, METALCON offers a wide variety of educational opportunities for professionals to talk to experts, discover new products and get hands-on training. Sponsored by Sherwin-Williams, the training zone increases in size and scope every year.  

“John Sheridan and his crew offer two and a half days of hands-on training, and it is buzzing,” Judy shared. “From the time the show floor opens until we throw them out at the end of the day, they’re showing installers and contractors — in English and in Spanish —how to up-skill and finesse everything they do. They'll show you how to use the right tools and how to improve your techniques.” 

METALCON also continued its tradition of giving back, reinforcing a mission that extends beyond the exhibit floor. One of the most ambitious efforts showcased this year right on the show floor. “We are building a barndominium for charity,” Judy said. In partnership with the Military Warriors Support Foundation, the Scottsdale Construction Company and Oliver Bell and Stacee Lynn of the The Barndominium Company, the frame for Eagles Landing, a 2,500 square foot retreat center for veterans, was assembled at the center of the show floor. After METALCON, the frame was disassembled, moved to Hall, Montana, where it will be completed in 2026 to serve as a retreat for combat-wounded veterans and Gold Star families. 

With countless opportunities for education and giving back, METALCON reminds us why it’s an experience you just can’t miss.

METALCON 2025 offered attendees a front row view of the latest design trends and innovations hitting the market.  

Live from the trade show floor at the 2025 METALCON expo in Las Vegas, Nevada, host Heidi J. Ellsworth sat down with a panel of metal professionals to discuss the state of the industry and the latest trends entering the market. This special episode of Coffee Conversations®, sponsored by MetalVue by Sherwin-Willams, featured notable panelists Luiz Sánchez of Sherwin-Williams, Chandler Barden of CIDAN Machinery, Nigel Kreft of Elevate Structures and Anthony Ortega of Viotell Metal Concepts. 

As the largest and only specialized trade show dedicated to the metal construction industry, METALCON was buzzing with exciting new product launches and demonstrations of the latest technologies. The energy was impressive, and the ability to see these up-and-coming innovations firsthand gave attendees a look at the ways they can elevate their business. Nigel shared, “What really struck me, being on the construction side of it, is the diverse product offerings. Roofing types, sheet metal types, colors, finishes, etcetera. The industry has really evolved into a more mature palette with colors and stuff like that, and I think some of the stuff that is out there is really cool.” 

Whether contractor, builder or a professional working in another side of the trade, the trade show floor offered a wonderful opportunity for all metal professionals to network and experience the aspect of community. Chandler shared, “I’ve been coming to the show for the last 14 years. The industry is growing, and it’s great getting to see familiar faces and your friends, getting to catch up and meet new people.”  

The show has also provided exhibitors with the opportunity to showcase their products and services firsthand with eager, new customers who might not have seen their offerings before METALCON. Luis explained, “There's a lot of questions that a lot of customers coming by have. They might not know all the things we have to offer and we get to explain to a lot of people all of the options that we offer in every business. It's been very good.” 

Even for installers, the trade show has been a great success. Anthony shared, “It's a little unique for us, because we're coming in as the installers, as the one providing the end product. We always love coming to METALCON because we get to see all the fun toys. It’s really exciting for us to come down here and see what we are seeing in the field and then connect it with great suppliers to figure out if there's a solution out there for our clients or a better way to do it, a way to optimize.” 

Watch the full conversation to get the highlights from the show and the panelists’ big takeaways from their time on the trade show floor.

Winners were selected through an electronic voting process held both before and during the event, with nearly 1,000 industry professionals casting their votes.

The top three winning products were unveiled at this year’s show in Las Vegas. Winners were selected through an electronic voting process held both before and during the event, with nearly 1,000 industry professionals casting their votes.

The 2025 METALCON Top Products Award winners are:

First place

• Company: Malco Tools, Inc.
• Category: Contractor tools & equipment
• Product: TurboShear® Rotary Panel Cutter (TSPC1)

Malco Tools' new TurboShear® Rotary Panel Cutter (TSPC1) brings next-level power and precision to the job site. Designed for pros, it effortlessly cuts through metal roofing, wall panels, trim, flashing and vinyl siding. Dual opposing cutting wheels self-advance for smooth, clean cuts with less hand fatigue. Built from hardened alloy steel, its replaceable cutting discs handle tough materials, while a clear sight line ensures accurate, quiet performance every time.

“While winning an award is always exciting, the METALCON Top Product Award is especially meaningful because winners are chosen by the trade professionals who use these products every day,” said Rebecca Talbot, vice president of marketing at The Malco Group. “Our mission at The Malco Group is to develop innovative new products and solutions that meet the real needs of those working in the field, and receiving this recognition is validation that we are doing just that — we couldn’t be more thrilled!”  

Second place

• Company: S-5!
• Category: Accessories
• Product: ColorGard 2.0 snow guard system

After 30 years and 18,000 linear miles of proven performance, S-5!’s ColorGard® 2.0 sets a new benchmark in snow retention. Engineered for virtually all metal roof types, it delivers greater versatility, simplified assembly and faster installation. The system’s true lay-and-play design requires no preassembly, saving time and effort on the job site. Now a three-time industry award winner since its launch, ColorGard 2.0 features an innovative internal splice that fits directly over S-5! clamps and brackets — saving time and eliminating the need for any field cutting (except at the end of the assembly). The system dramatically reduces the risk of rooftop avalanches, ensuring reliable protection and peace of mind.

“It’s an honor to have ColorGard® 2.0 recognized with the METALCON Top Products Award,” said Rob Haddock, S-5! founder and CEO. “This award underscores our dedication to advancing snow retention technology through innovation and engineering excellence. ColorGard 2.0 represents the next generation of performance and simplicity — delivering smarter design, faster installation and the trusted reliability that defines the S-5! brand.”

• Company: Steel Dynamics, Inc.
• Category: Walls
• Product: TruGrain made with Tru-Steel HD

Steel Dynamics, Inc. (SDI), has partnered with TruLog™ to introduce Tru-Steel HD® digitally printed steel to the log cabin market. Launched in early 2025, TruLog’s TruGrain steel log siding features the ultra-realistic Natural Hickory pattern, digitally printed onto steel sheet for a true woodgrain look. With SDI’s advanced printing technology, patterns don’t repeat for up to 32 feet, creating stunning, low-maintenance steel log cabins that look just like real wood.

“We're thrilled to have won this award, especially given the collaborative nature of this product,” said Spencer Lieland, Tru-Steel HD sales manager. “The Tru-Steel HD team worked directly with TruLog to develop a woodgrain image that would perfectly fit their one-of-a-kind TruGrain steel panels. This is a win for both teams!”

To be eligible for consideration, products must have been introduced to the market after January 1, 2024 and their manufacturer a participating exhibitor at METALCON 2025.

“Las Vegas provided a great setting to connect with our industry and celebrate this year’s top product award winners,” said Judy Geller, vice president of trade shows at METALCON. “We’re already looking ahead to Orlando, where we’ll continue to showcase the latest advancements shaping the future of metal construction and design.”

Economist Alex Chausovsky's message was that, while today’s economic landscape is complex, waiting on the sidelines is not an option.

METALCON welcomed economist Alex Chausovsky of The Bundy Group to the keynote stage in Las Vegas on October 22 for an insightful address focused on navigating the next phase of economic and industrial transformation.

An internationally recognized economics and markets expert, speaker and strategy consultant, Chausovsky discussed a shift in mindset from managing uncertainty to embracing complexity under the theme “Connecting Data to Action.”

“We’ve been through similar challenges before,” he said, referencing the pandemic era. “Now, we can project with confidence that we will figure this out. We can do this together. We have the mindset to get it done.”

Economic strength and global context

Chausovsky underscored the continued dominance of the U.S. economy, noting that at $30 trillion, it represents more than a quarter of global GDP and remains one-third larger than China’s $20 trillion economy. “We are not going to be overtaken with our economy,” he affirmed, adding that even New York and parts of New Jersey together exceed Russia’s $2.2 trillion economy.

He highlighted that since 1980, the U.S. has maintained a consistent 26% share of global GDP, reinforcing the nation’s enduring economic influence. However, he cautioned that the U.S. must ensure its global partners do not gain competitive ground — a sentiment aligned with the current Trump administration’s policy goals.

“Our biggest vulnerability is our allies," said Chausovsky. The concern is that our allies are being pushed closer to our adversaries — closer to China and Russia.

Global trade, tariffs and economic trends

Chausovsky talked about Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) as a key factor in understanding China’s internal advantage — its ability to afford more goods and services for the same amount of money. He cautioned that, unless we act strategically, China’s production capacity will continue to outpace ours.

He addressed trade relations with Canada and ongoing tariff impacts, clarifying misconceptions about an impending recession:

“We are not in a recession; we are not even headed towards one,” he emphasized.

According to Chausovsky, while 37% of tariffs have been passed to U.S. consumers, 9% have been absorbed by companies. The overall economic impact, he said, remains limited, with tariffs typically taking 12–18 months to fully register.

Looking ahead: 2026 and beyond

Chausovsky forecasted a flat economy for 2026, with minimal growth expected due to restrictive interest rates. He added, pessimism among CEOs is equal to that seen during COVID and has persisted since April 2 (Liberation Day) — reflecting no growth and no contraction.

“You want to be conservative and tighten the belt,” he advised. “Unless we can get out of our own way, it will tread.”

“The key takeaway for 2026 is to maintain profitability and make sure you have money to reinvest into the business,” he said. Chausovsky then posed the question, “What can you do?” He said, “Increase prices or increase your market share.”

He encouraged leaders to:

• Retain employees, as workforce participation remains strong.
• Budget 3–4% for cost-of-living increases.
• Communicate more frequently with suppliers, ideally moving from quarterly to monthly updates.
• Diversify pricing strategies — either by increasing prices or capturing greater market share. 

He also cited the importance of legal immigration to sustain the labor force, warning that without progress, workforce shortages could begin as early as 2027.

Closing his address, Chausovsky reiterated his core message for the metal construction industry: while today’s economic landscape is complex, waiting on the sidelines is not an option. He acknowledged concerns that tariffs could push the economy toward recession but affirmed that this is not the case. Instead, he urged industry professionals to stay informed, remain agile and position their businesses to succeed amid evolving market dynamics.

The outlook may be complex, but it remains one that the industry is fully capable of navigating — momentum that will continue as the conversation moves forward at METALCON 2026.
