Our Heroes

During his formative years working as a fabricator and installer in his family’s metal cladding business, G. Matt Krause, Founder and CEO of Advanced Architectural Products (A2P), saw a gap in creating building envelopes that not only maintained the structural integrity of the building, but also kept the enclosure thermally efficient, while reducing overall heating and cooling costs. He recognized the opportunity to revolutionize the building enclosure market with innovative technology and approaches to building envelopes through sub-cladding support systems.

​

This early exposure and focus on engineering innovative solutions laid the foundation for groundbreaking work in thermal efficiency and durable building envelopes, exemplified by the invention of the GreenGirt CMH and GreenGirt Steel continuous insulation systems, and the SMARTci building enclosure system. That same engineering mindset drives our development of digital tools—thermal calculators, product selectors, and specification resources—that help design and construction teams work smarter. With every new innovative, independently tested solution to the building envelope market, A2P paves the way for the future of sustainable, durable, and thermally-efficient continuous insulation and building enclosure systems and the technology that supports them.
