Livestrong Sporting Park  –   A Case History

Since opening on June 9th, 2011 in Kansas City, Kansas, the Livestrong Sporting Park has been awarded Best Venue for 2012.  Duo-Gard Industries Inc. was the company in charge of developing the project for the largest polycarbonate canopy ever produced and installed in the United States.

Gallina USA was very proud to have supported our partner in Bogota, Colombia with a joint presentation to debut arcoPlus® to the architectural community in that region. The professionalism and organization provided by Rodrigo Diaz-Munoz, the commercial sales manager with Mathiesen/Colombia, was outstanding and allowed all who attended to learn, share design ideas and discuss growth for arcoPlus® in the Colombian market. All of us at Gallina USA appreciate his hard work and effort and look forward to a strong partnership.

Lamborghini new factory: first example of Italian industrial building certified in Class A.

The new multi-level building stands in Class A according to the directive 2010/31/EU of the European Parliment and of the European Council. In the heart of the land recently struck by an heavy-impact earthquake, one of the most important Italian industries, well-known worldwide for its fast and fashionable cars, links itself with efficiency and sustainability realizing an high-performance building able to grant an yearly energy consumption of less than 8 kWh/m2.

Policarb® Multi-wall Polycarbonate Sheets and arcoPlus® Multi-wall Polycarbonate Modular
Panels manufactured by Gallina received an evaluation report ESR-1760 from ICC Evaluation
Service (ICC-ES), providing evidence that the Policarb® Multi-wall Polycarbonate Sheets and
arcoPlus® Multi-wall Polycarbonate Modular Panels meets code requirements. Building officials,
architects, contractors, specifiers, designers and others utilize the ICC-ES Evaluation Reports to
provide a basis for using or approving Policarb® Multi-wall Polycarbonate Sheets and arcoPlus®
Multi-wall Polycarbonate Modular Panels in construction projects following the International
Building and Residential Codes, and Uniform Building Code.

ICC-ES President John Nosse explains why ICC-ES Evaluation Reports are so important.
“Gallina can now reference the evaluation report to ensure building officials and the building
industry that the product meets I-Code requirements,” Nosse said. “Building departments have a
long history of using evaluation reports, and ICC-ES operates as a technical resource for the
building department. Final approval of building products is always in the hands of the local
regulatory agency.”

ICC-ES thoroughly examined Gallina product information, test reports, calculations, quality
control methods and other factors to ensure the product is code compliant. Amit Israeli, CEO
Gallina, has this to say regarding the ICC approval: “I am very pleased with our approval with the
ICC. We try to promote the building code department requirements. We hope that other
manufacturers see the value of having an ICC approved product.”

ICC-ES is the United States’ leading source of technical information on building products and
building technology for code compliance. A nonprofit, public-benefit corporation, ICC-ES performs
technical evaluations of building products, components, methods and materials. The evaluation
process culminates with the issuance of reports on compliance with the major U.S. building codes,
which are available at www.icc-es.org.

ICC-ES is a subsidiary of the International Code Council, a membership association dedicated
to building safety and fire prevention that develops the codes used to construct residential and
commercial buildings, including homes and schools. Most U.S. cities, counties and states that
adopt codes choose the International Codes developed by the International Code Council.
