Laticrete's Metcalf Named Tile Partner of Year

Chicago, IL, May 7, 2009--Laticrete said that North American president Ed Metcalf has been selected by the Tile Partners for Humanity as the recipient of it’s first annual Tile Partner of the Year Award.

Metcalf was recognized for his continued support of the mission of Habitat for Humanity, and for spearheading a company-wide commitment from Laticrete, including not just product donation, but many hours of labor and technical support to the cause.

In addition, Metcalf was selected to be the inaugural winner of the award for his creative thinking after Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans and the Gulf Coast. Through the Gulf Coast Relief Project, Metcalf helped raise thousands of dollars that went directly to the TPFH and Habitat for Humanity to help tile over 400 new homes.
