Institute welcomes new supporting partner – Bondor
The Institute is proud to announce new Corporate Partner Bondor, Australia’s leader in complete thermal building solutions and lightweight architectural panels.
Bondor General Manager Geoff Marsdon said ‘Being an Institute partner will allow us to get a firsthand appreciation of what is important to architects, and to understand how we, as a building products business, can improve our working relationship with architectural groups or individual architects.’
The announcement comes at a time when society is looking to achieve more from its built environment, particularly in the area of thermal efficiency – a field in which Bondor excels in research, development, design and manufacture.
Institute CEO David Parken said the Institute looked forward to a long-term partnership with Bondor, and was excited about working together across numerous key institute programs that engaged with architects.
