The Albany excitement began with a reception for their dealer partners on the night prior to the IDA show. Peter Fitton, Global Marketing Manager, unveiled the anticipated MCCVectorControl System and its powerful features and benefits. Attending guests were excited and impressed to see what Albany feels is the future of the high performance door industry.
