Speaker:

John Trainor
President
Architectural Grilles and Sunshades

John began his career at a company specializing in glass doors, curtainwalls, and storefronts, where he quickly developed a passion for the architectural glazing industry. He was drawn to the precision, aesthetics, and engineering behind glass products. Recognizing a niche market in need of representation, he later acquired an ornamental grille and sunshade company to expand his expertise and influence in the field.

In 2003 John took his experience and founded Architectural Grilles and Sunshades (AGS, Inc.). In its 20+ years in business, AGS has become a premier manufacturer and leader in the aluminum sunshades, vertical fins, perforated screens, trellises, & grilles market.

Specializing in working on projects from the design phase to completion, he sees that the architect’s vision is achieved, while making certain the installation process runs smoothly.
