CENTRIA, Moon Township, Pa., has developed a Facebook fan page. “At CENTRIA, we’re constantly listening to architects, building owners, contractors and others in the architectural community to develop products that help them build beautiful, high performance, sustainable buildings,” said Julie Pawuk, marketing communications manager for CENTRIA. “As a result, Facebook was a logical next step for us to continue and expand that dialogue. It also will serve as another platform where we can showcase the premier projects we’ve been involved with as an integral member of the building team.” CENTRIA’s fan page engages its customers,its extensive dealer network and others in the architectural community on a personal level.It serves as a portal for friends and fans to discuss their interests in the commercial/industrial building market and to continue CENTRIA’s tradition of collaboration. You can become a fan by visiting CENTRIA’s Facebook fan page at www.facebook.com. CENTRIA also recently launched its Digitale-Binder. This virtual catalog features detailed information on the organization’s numerous products, making it easy for building teams to create buildings that are beautiful, functional and sustainable. “CENTRIA’s Digital e-Binder brings all of our products, services and capabilities to life in one dynamic user-friendly format,” Pawuk said. “In addition, it gives architects, building owners and ontractors insight and information on innovations and initiatives that have made CENTRIA a leader in the commercial building industry for more than 100 years.” While the Digital e-Binder is set up like a traditional publication—users can even “flip” through its pages—it has tremendous functionality that goes beyond a physical binder. It can be downloaded and saved to a user’s desktop; it can be emailed to others; it’s searchable; and can be bookmarked for ease of reference. Users can even make their own notes and quickly and easily share information with others electronically.
