Dryvit Systems, Inc., a leading manufacturer of EIFS in North America, announced the launch of its Tech 21 Initiative, a new program to make it easier for building owners, general contractors and architects to use or specify prefabricated panels of Dryvit’s Outsulation systems with Dryvit’s traditional EIFS finishes or its NewBrick cladding.   

The Tech 21 initiative will be led by Rick Bunting, who has been named to a newly created position as Dryvit’s National Renovation and Panelization Manager. Bunting brings more than 35 years of experience in the commercial and residential construction industry to Dryvit. He previously served as a regional sales manager for Eastern Exterior Wall Systems Inc., an industry leader in the development of prefabricated wall systems.  Bunting also served as an independent consultant specializing in wall systems.
