Eufaula, Ala.-based Architectural Metal Systems (AMS) recently honored Naval Air Station (NAS) Pensacola for choosing American-made steel in its recent construction of NAS Bachelors Housing.

Bill Chandler, the owner of Southeast Contractors, the project’s authorized AMS Roofer, presented Mike Jordan, engineering technical at Naval Facilities Engineering Command Pensacola, with a “Proud to Buy American” plaque. By choosing an authorized AMS Roofer and a metal standing seam roofing system for the housing project, it was noted that officials at NAS Pensacola are helping to safeguard American jobs.

“Choosing a roofing contractor that uses only American-made steel was common sense for this facility at NAS Pensacola,” Jordan says. “This recognition really inspires a great sense of pride to those who live, work and serve at this facility.”
