GGI Names Rocco Ficara National Sales Manager

GGI (General Glass International) announced the promotion of Rocco Ficara to National Sales Manager of the company’s Specialty Glass Division, effective June 1.

The promotion aligns with the recent leadership transition of Gus Trupiano, who will continue supporting GGI customers throughout the Southeast as an independent manufacturer representative.

Ficara brings more than 30 years of glass industry experience, including expertise in specialty architectural glass, product development, international sourcing, and collaboration across North American markets. In his new role, he will lead national sales efforts for GGI’s Specialty Glass Division while continuing to work closely with customers, internal sales teams, and independent representatives.

“Rocco has quickly become a valuable resource to our team and our customers,” said Richard Balik, Executive Vice President and Principal at GGI. “His understanding of specialty glass products and the market supports a smooth transition and continued momentum for the division.”

GGI appreciates Gus Trupiano’s leadership and contributions over the past seven years and looks forward to continuing the relationship in his new role serving the Southeast market.

Stylos S Low Iron textured pattern glass offers architects and interior designers a refined approach to balancing privacy and daylighting combined with modern aesthetics.

The distinctive linear engraved finish and ultra-clear low-iron glass substrate of Stylos S diffuses light while maintaining visual openness between spaces. The result is a subtle level of privacy without creating dark or enclosed environments.

With a visible light transmission (VLT) of approximately 86%, Stylos S Low Iron supports daylight sharing across interior spaces while adding texture, depth, and architectural character to partitions, doors, windows, shower enclosures, and cabinetry applications.

Available through GGI in:
• 3/8" (10mm) and 1/2" (12mm) thicknesses
• Stock sheet size: 88 1/2" x 126"
• Custom fabricated solutions
• Full cases or mixed truckload shipments

Textured pattern glass continues to provide designers with opportunities to create functional privacy while making subtle, confident design statements through glass.

After seven years of leadership with GGI’s Specialty Glass Division, Gus Trupiano will transition from his role as National Sales Manager effective May 31.

Throughout his tenure, Gus played an important role in expanding GGI’s specialty glass business across North America while building strong relationships throughout the glass and glazing industry. His customer-first approach, technical knowledge, and commitment to industry partnerships helped support the continued growth of the division.

While stepping away from his current role, Gus will continue supporting GGI as an Independent Sales Representative for the Southeast United States through a newly formed company, All Things Glass, LLC (ATG), launched alongside his son, Stephen Trupiano.

“Gus has made a lasting impact on our business and our industry relationships,” said Richard Balik, executive vice president and principal of GGI. “We’re pleased to continue working with him in this new capacity and support his entrepreneurial venture.”

GGI will be sharing additional news soon regarding leadership within the Specialty Glass Division.
