Patrick Duffy joins railing company

Tampa, Florida-based Greco Aluminum Railings announced Patrick Duffy as their newest architectural representative.

With 23 years in the architectural industry and owner of Advanced Building Products, Duffy (pictured, left) has consulted on some of the most technologically advanced high-rise buildings in the Chicago and Milwaukee regions, according to the company’s announcement. He earned his degree in civil construction management from Bradley University in Peoria, Illinois. Duffy will cover the Illinois and Wisconsin markets for Greco.

Duffy’s company, Advanced Building Products, represents manufacturers of windows, curtainwall, entrances, skylights, railings and panel systems, including: Oldcastle Building Envelope, Ruskin, FRP Architectural Doors, East Coast Metal Systems, and, now, Greco Railings.

“Greco is already well known in Chicago, and its track record of high quality products will continue to be attractive to both architects and contractors in the Midwest,” he says. “We can be a single source supplier for the facade of the building, starting with the balconies, and adding glass, panels and other materials. That means more convenience and reduced costs.”  

Jim Ellsworth, President of Greco Aluminum Railings USA, Inc. welcomes Duffy to the team: “We’re pleased to bring on a rep with such vast experience in the architectural industry,” he says. “Pat’s connections with contractors, designers, and architects are greatly valued.”
