S-5!, the leading authority on metal roof attachment technology, today announced a new addition to its growing team as it looks to further expand its business throughout Canada, driven by regional market growth in both solar and snow retention markets.

Commercial and residential owners have long realized the benefits of metal roofing―long-term service life and low maintenance.  S-5! identified a need in the market for prudent attachment solutions and the opportunity to scale within the Canadian metal roofing industry.

A proven technology, S-5! has a global portfolio of products now installed on more than 2 million metal roofs worldwide, including some of the world’s largest buildings, such as the corporate headquarters for Apple, Google, IBM, NATO and NREL.

In light of S-5!’s ongoing plans for growth and development, the company is pleased to welcome Brandon Kilpatrick to its team.

Kilpatrick will fill S-5!’s newly created Canadian business development manager role.  He will be responsible for developing distributor partnerships, contractor pull through, EPC, OEM and industry relationships to increase market awareness, brand loyalty and sales within the Canadian market.

He joins S-5! from D.I. Roof Seamers―a manufacturer of roof seamer machinery―where he served as the Canadian national manager and established, managed and promoted the company’s business in Canada, including building its clientele base.

He has a deep understanding of all aspects of the industry and has established strong and trusting relationships with key industry leaders. He brings an array of technical skills, including machining and metal roof installation along with metal roofing industry knowledge in the Canadian and U.S. market gained over the past 10 years.

Kilpatrick attended university in Canada, earning a bachelor’s degree in history at Wilfred Laurier University, a bachelor of applied business at George Brown College and an advanced diploma in environmental science lab/field technician honors at Niagara College Canada.  In 2017, Kilpatrick was awarded the Metal Construction Association Triumph Award for “Industry Young Movers and Shakers.”

“While some companies are pulling in the reins, S-5! continues to grow and expand,” says S-5! CEO and Founder, Rob Haddock. “The duration of this pandemic is uncertain and casualties dear but, it will be over and S-5! remains future-forward thinking focused on constant development and growth.”

“We are very excited to have Brandon join our team,” continues Haddock. “The depth of experience he brings to our company and our clients is key to our continued success and growth.”
