Hi Tommy,
ARCAT has been an incredibly valuable partner to Amarr and has helped us get our products specified in
many projects. Through ARCAT, we are able to reach a very large number of architects, specifiers and
designers. The verified statistics on downloads of our specs and drawings illustrate to us just how
important ARCAT is to the community and how useful it is for us to have a strong presence on the
ARCAT site.
Thanks,
Samantha

We have had a profile for many years on ARCAT because we have found that it gives us broad exposure to specifiers. When architects are seeking information about construction materials, ARCAT is one of the primary resources they use. We like the ease of searching for products, the fact the architects can download specifications in a variety of formats, and the help that ARCAT has given us in writing our specifications and creating our profile. We also receive reports that show the number of visitors who have viewed our profile or downloaded our specifications. Architects can view our literature and videos, link directly to our web site, and even request a meeting with local representatives.

Gary, I would like to personally thank you for all your efforts and recommendations assisting us to get vital product content expanded to architectural and engineering firms as well as end users since our decision to utilize ARCAT in 2020. Your entire staff is top notch. Material, drawings and specifications provided to your staff were made publicly available literally within just a few hours of submission to our ARCAT home page. It was also a great benefit in developing cleaner CSI specifications using your professional spec writers. ARCAT has been a great web tool for bringing our customers directly to content that meets their needs. The search words have also produced increased inquiries through Google searches performed from several of our new clients. This has been crucial during these unprecedented times of COVID-19 hampering much of the country’s economy allowing us to reach potential customers we may never have made contact with. Observing the number of CAD drawings, BIM’s and CSI specification downloads over the last 3-5 months gives us a good idea of what’s coming down the pike and what the near future holds for us in opportunities. The bottom line is that ARCAT has truly been a worthy investment and appears to be placing us at the front door of opportunity in leu of scratching and clawing to remove the original basis of design specification for new opportunities. Your firm is truly professional and dedicated to the service you provide. When opportunity permits, we will surely recommend ARCAT to others looking to get a leg up on their competition. Excluding our own competitors of course. Thank you again to both you and the ARCAT team for your superior service. Best Regards, Rob Herman Barrier Defense Systems A Shaw Stainless Company

ARCAT has been a tremendous resource for connecting our business, brands, and product lines
with the architect community. As a marketing manager for a large global manufacturer and
supplier of building products, ARCAT has helped me form the foundation of our
company's architect sales and marketing strategy by providing best‐in‐class specification tools.
Having ARCAT as a partner in our efforts has allowed us to grow sales through specifications
and position our company as a trusted advisor to the AEC community. I've had the pleasure of
working with the entire ARCAT team, including Andy Linaman as our district manager, for over
5 years. They are outstanding! Their attention to their client's program and needs is their top
priority.
If you are looking to grow sales through getting products specified by architects, I
highly recommend a partnership with ARCAT."

We have had a listing on ARCAT for over 10 years. Listing our products and knowing that they are being found by the right audience is an instrumental part of our marketing plan. ARCAT allows an extremely broad word search meaning that if anyone is looking for a solution our products address, they will find us even if they are not familiar with our product or company. Each account has a rep who continues to work with you after you join. Ours has been so incredibly helpful in selecting our level, coming up with key words, making updates and changes to our pages and checking in frequently. The intel we get is very valuable to our sales representatives.

Date: July 14, 2020 To: Gary Sander / ARCAT From: Craig Lynch, Commercial / Technical Director Subject: ARCAT for Kingspan Insulation I wanted to reach out an say a few things about the services that ARCAT provides for Kingspan Insulation. First and
foremost, ARCAT has provided the invaluable resource of facilitating our CSI 3‐Part specifications. We have launched a
number of new product lines in the past few years including our insulation brands KoolDuct, Kooltherm and Optim‐R.
ARCAT took all of our marketing literature and technical data and helped us formalize the 3‐Part spec and also posted
it properly on their site. Their mobile platform is a useful tool for our sales team as it allows them to pull a spec,
brochure, BIM object, CAD drawing and more right from the ARCAT app for a client. I personally see ARCAT as an
extension of our specification sales team.

Working with ARCAT and Gary Sander (ARCAT Account Manager) has been a great experience
for Meridian Brick. Whenever the ARCAT team is faced with a project, the turnaround time for
completion is within the same week sometimes even the same day!
As daunting as spec writing can be, their team of spec writers make the process easy and
updates to your existing specs are a breeze.
ARCAT has helped us to reach thousands of Architects and Specifiers.

Dear Tommy,
I’m pleased to renew the ARCAT contract for the tenth consecutive year.
MultiDrain Systems trench drain products are specification driven. To reach specifiers and decision makers, ARCAT is an
extension of our technical support, sales team and sales collateral. ARCAT a vital link to architects, engineers, builders,
building owners and suppliers especially now more than ever with the “New Normal” and not being able to meet with
architects or do Lunch and Learns. In this new business environment, it’s more critical than ever that we have a vehicle to
reach decision makers in the construction industry who will specify and use our products. ARCAT reaches numerous
industry professionals daily that my sales agents simply can’t reach and for a fraction of the cost.
As I’ve told you numerous times, we chose ARCAT over other services because it’s free of charge to the user, users know
they won’t be bombarded with sales people, they can use it virtually anywhere & anytime and ARCAT adds value to my
business. I review the Google Analytics monthly and I’m very pleased with the continued results. As a result, our products
are in more specifications than ever and sales are steadily increasing year after year.
I feel it’s important for me to let you know the importance of ARCAT to our company. We certainly appreciate the
continued support from you and the ARCAT team. You respond quickly to our calls and emails rapidly handling, CAD
drawings, specifications and data sheet revisions. You are a value add to our company because you are very
knowledgeable in the construction industry and have an excellent product which plays an important role in our continued
success.
Best Regard,

District Sales Manager
ARCAT
Gary,
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued service to our company. It is not
too often that companies in this fast-paced industry are fortunate enough to benefit from the personal
touches from an account manager like yourself. You contribute a level of professionalism and
courteousness to our company that is very appreciated. You are one of the main reasons we continue
to subscribe to ARCAT.
The other reason we continue our subscription to ARCAT is the service itself. Prior to our relationship
with ARCAT, we had limited exposure to the design community. Within the first six months of our
subscription, we noticed a dramatic increase in inquires from designers and specifications of our
products. Why? ARCAT helped poise our company in a way within their website that would aid visiting
designers to more easily inquire and design with our products. But it doesn’t stop there. You and your
team regularly communicate with us on what we can do to further enhance our presence on your
platform thereby increasing our virtual presence even more. That is value-added service!
It’s been a pleasure working with you and ARCAT. We look forward to many more years of utilizing your
services.
All My Best,
Ray Clark

To Whom It May Concern:
Viance, LLC has listed our products with ARCAT because of the access and reach it has to the architect/specifier market; and the service, reporting and assistance we have from ARCAT’s sales team, in particular, Tommy Glover.
Because we develop wood protection chemicals to improve the performance and durability of wood products, we are a part of the end product that is specified. Our line of pressure‐impregnated wood preservative and fire‐retardant product formulations are building‐code compliant for residential, commercial, industrial, and agricultural applications.
These formulations are used for treated wood in decks, railings, fencing, structural framing, fire retardant applications, marine uses when wood is in contact with water, and wood poles for the utility industry.
It is important that specifiers know there is a difference in what goes into the building products they choose and the long‐term benefits that are provided. ARCAT provides the opportunity for specifiers to learn about these products easily.
Sincerely,
Edie Kello
Director of Marketing
