| 🎗️ METALCON GIVES BACK — BUILDING ON A LEGACY OF GIVING Giving back has been part of METALCON’s 35-year history — and last year’s Eagles Landing project showed just how much this industry can accomplish when we build together. One year later, Eagles Landing has officially broken ground, and the frame constructed LIVE on the METALCON show floor is moving on to its next chapter in the building process. This year, METALCON’s live Design-to-Manufacture-to-Build experience takes that spirit of giving even further. A 490-square-foot house will be built LIVE on the METALCON show floor and, when completed, donated to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation to support its mission of providing housing and critical support to those who have served our country. Attendees can watch the home take shape through this powerful demonstration of what this industry can build when innovation, collaboration and purpose come together. 👉 GIVE BACK TODAY → |
