  • N-RG CLADDING EARNS NATIONAL HONORS FROM ASSOCIATED BUILDERS AND CONTRACTORS FOR STELLA NOVA RESORT AT UNIVERSAL ORLANDO

    N-RG Cladding announced that it earned a national Excellence in Construction® Pyramid Award for Stella Nova Resort at Universal Orlando.

    We are incredibly proud of the iconic work we delivered at The Stella Nova Resort at Universal Orlando.”
    — Paul Wolmarans, group CEO

    APOPKA, FL, UNITED STATES, March 20, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — N-RG Cladding, a leading provider of cladding solutions for commercial buildings, announced today that it has earned a national Excellence in Construction® Pyramid Award from Associated Builders and Contractors for its work on the Stella Nova Resort at Universal Orlando. ABC presented the award ABC Convention 2026 in Salt Lake City on March 19.

    The EIC Awards celebrate 86 of the nation’s top construction projects from 2025, including school relocations; convention center, courthouse and beach resort renovations; and the construction of science parks, apartments and hospitals, as well as honoring contractors for their remarkable achievements in leadership, health and safety, innovation and merit.

    “We are incredibly proud of the iconic work we delivered at The Stella Nova Resort at Universal Orlando,” said Paul Wolmarans, group CEO. “With more than 140,000 iridescent stainless-steel tiles designed to reflect color, light, and movement, this complex job reflected the expertise of our integrated companies and the craftsmanship of the entire N-RG Cladding team. Congratulations to Yuri Melnichenko, N-RG vice president, and his staff on this accomplishment.”

    As part of Universal Orlando’s highly anticipated Epic Universe expansion, the Stella Nova Resort is a bold architectural statement that helped set the tone for the immersive experiences awaiting guests beyond the park’s gates.

    The technical and logistical demands of this project were exceptional: the installation had to be completed on an aggressive schedule, maintain flawless visual alignment across thousands of unique tiles, and integrate multiple materials and lighting features with millimeter precision. Through close coordination, precision prefabrication, and inventive field techniques, N-RG delivered this ambitious scope ahead of schedule—without compromising design integrity, durability, or safety.

    “Communities thrive when infrastructure is built and rebuilt with excellence, just like this project completed by the team at N-RG Cladding,” said 2026 Chair of the ABC National Board of Directors Thomas “Murph” Murphy, vice president of Power & Construction Group, Scottsville, New York. “ABC’s EIC Awards celebrate achievements in both construction projects as well as recognizing quality, safety and innovation that these teams deliver. This project honored at the 36th annual gala is an example of ABC contractor members’ remarkable achievements in leadership, safety, innovation and merit. Congratulations to N-RG Cladding for showcasing the pinnacle of construction excellence.”

    The EIC Awards honor each member of the construction team, including the contractor, owner, architect and engineer. The winning projects are judged on complexity, unique challenges overcome, completion time, innovation and safety.

    A panel of industry experts served as the competition’s judges. This year’s judges included representatives from the Design-Build Institute of America, Engineering News-Record, the Construction Owners Association of America, the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority, the National Institute of Building Sciences, ShareBuilt, the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and other select construction-related organizations nationwide.

    A full list of EIC winners is available on ABC’s website.

    Providing employee benefits and a suite of construction-specific employer services exclusively for ABC members for 65 years, the ABC Insurance Trust is the proud program sponsor of the Excellence in Construction Awards.

  • Milwaukee Auto Recycler Featured in Women in Motion Series for AI Innovation

    Natasha Broxton of Select Auto Parts is recognized for pioneering AI integration in recycling — and scaling it nationwide through Alitura Group.

    I didn’t set out to be an AI pioneer. I set out to solve real problems in my facility. When you build something that works, you have a responsibility to bring it forward.”
    — Natasha Broxton, CEO, Select Auto Parts & Sales

    MILWAUKEE, WI, UNITED STATES, March 20, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Milwaukee Auto Recycler Named Among Women Reshaping the Auto Industry, Now Bringing AI-Powered Modernization to Operators Nationwide

    Automotive in Black‘s Women in Motion Series Features Select Auto Parts CEO Natasha Broxton for Pioneering AI Integration in Automotive Recycling — the Same System She’s Now Scaling Through Alitura Group

    MILWAUKEE, WI — In recognition of Women’s History Month, Automotive in Black (AIB) has selected Natasha Broxton, CEO and founder of Select Auto Parts & Sales, as one of twelve featured women in its 2025 Women in Motion series — spotlighting Black women who are not just working in the automotive industry, but actively transforming it.

    Broxton was recognized for her work integrating artificial intelligence into automotive recycling operations — a field that has been slow to modernize. Over more than 14 years operating Select Auto Parts, a 125,000 square foot indoor recycling facility in Milwaukee, she built and deployed custom AI systems that now power junk car quoting, inventory optimization, and Voice AI-driven customer acquisition. Those systems have also helped the company secure more than $40,000 in grant funding.

    “I didn’t set out to be an AI pioneer. I set out to solve real problems in my facility,” says Broxton. “But when you build something that works — and you realize thousands of other operators are still stuck — you have a responsibility to bring it forward.”

    That responsibility gave rise to Alitura Group, an AI modernization consulting firm Broxton founded to bring the same operational intelligence she built inside Select Auto Parts to automotive recycling facilities across the country. With an estimated 9,000+ independently operated auto recycling facilities in the U.S. — and the majority still running on legacy systems — Alitura Group is targeting one of the last underserved verticals in the automotive supply chain.

    “Select Auto Parts is our proof of concept,” says Broxton. “We didn’t build a theory. We built a working system inside a real facility, tested it under real conditions, and got real results. That’s what Alitura Group brings to the table — not consulting from the outside, but operator intelligence from the inside.”

    Automotive in Black’s Women in Motion series runs throughout March 2025, featuring a new honoree each week across social media, video content, and the Women in Motion: The Complete Collection — a digital resource spotlighting the careers, contributions, and leadership of Black women in automotive.

    Broxton also serves as a monthly columnist for AR Magazine and is an active voice in conversations about technology adoption, workforce development, and representation in automotive recycling.

    About Automotive in Black (AIB)
    Automotive in Black is a media and community platform dedicated to amplifying the stories, achievements, and leadership of Black professionals across the automotive industry. Through content, campaigns, and educational initiatives, AIB is building a more visible and inclusive automotive future.

    About Select Auto Parts & Sales
    Select Auto Parts & Sales is Milwaukee’s only fully indoor automotive recycling facility, operating 125,000 square feet for more than 14 years. The company is recognized for its innovative use of AI-driven systems for pricing, inventory management, and customer acquisition.

    About Alitura Group
    Alitura Group is an AI modernization consulting firm founded by Natasha Broxton to serve automotive recycling operators nationwide. Drawing on over a decade of live operational experience, Alitura Group helps facilities implement practical, results-driven AI systems across quoting, inventory, customer acquisition, and grant strategy.

  • New Documentary ‘The Greatest of These’ Available on Amazon Prime Video, AppleTV, and Documentary+ Beginning April 17

    Presented By The Faith-Based Non-Profit City Of Refuge, The Film Highlights the Transformative Power of Trust and Community

    ATLANTA, GA, UNITED STATES, March 20, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Beginning on April 17th, The Greatest of These, a new documentary presented by City of Refuge, the faith-based nonprofit organization founded in 1997 with a mission to transform the lives of individuals and communities in Atlanta and beyond, will be available on Amazon Prime Video, AppleTV, and Documentary+.

    Directed by Emmy Award–winning filmmaker Nick Nanton and produced by Emmy Award winner Katie Tschopp, the 75-minute film tells the remarkable story of Bruce Deel and his family. Deel, a pastor who moved his family to live in one of the most dangerous areas in Atlanta to create a special haven helping families transition out of crisis toward stability and opportunity. The film chronicles the mission of City of Refuge, a faith-based nonprofit that serves individuals facing some of life’s most difficult circumstances, including addiction, trafficking, incarceration, and homelessness. Through an innovative approach grounded in dignity and trust, the organization offers pathways toward healing, stability, and long-term transformation.

    “For nearly three decades, our mission at City of Refuge has been simple: love the person in front of you and help them see the possibility in their own future,” said Bruce Deel, founder of City of Refuge. “If this film helps more people understand that transformation begins with dignity and trust, then it has already done something meaningful.”Founded in 1997, City of Refuge has become a hub of hope in one of the most dangerous zip codes in Atlanta. Operating from a repurposed warehouse in the city’s 30314 neighborhood, the organization has served more than 50,000 individuals, providing comprehensive services including housing, workforce development, youth programs, education, healthcare, and anti-trafficking initiatives.

    Director Nick Nanton says the story stood out as an urgent reminder of what compassionate leadership can achieve.

    “At a time when social divides can feel overwhelming, the work happening at City of Refuge is a powerful testament to human dignity and radical hope,” said Nanton. “Bruce’s philosophy of trusting first and restoring dignity challenges conventional models and shows how transformation truly happens through relationships and community.”

    Produced by Abundance Studios and DNA Films, The Greatest of These combines intimate storytelling with a broader look at the social issues facing vulnerable communities today. The documentary follows individuals who have found healing and opportunity through the City of Refuge network, illustrating the real impact of compassion-driven support systems.

    Producer Katie Tschopp notes that the film’s emotional core comes from the people whose lives have been transformed.

    “These stories remind us that meaningful change doesn’t happen overnight,” said Tschopp. “It happens when people feel seen, believed in, and supported over time.”

    With its release on TVOD, the film aims to expand awareness of the City of Refuge mission and inspire viewers to engage with solutions that prioritize dignity, restoration, and community support.

  • InventionHome® Product Developer Creates Dissolvable Body Wash Tablets Useful for Traveling

    PITTSBURGH, PA, UNITED STATES, March 20, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Nina B. of Marietta, GA is the creator of the Travel Body Wash Melting Tablets, compact, pre-measured tablets formulated to dissolve upon contact with water that produce a cleansing solution comparable in function to traditional liquid body wash. The tablets function as a convenient alternative to standard liquid body wash and its packaging.

    Liquid hygiene products are widely used in both daily routines and travel contexts; however, they present several logistical challenges during transport. These include increased luggage weight, risk of leakage due to container failure or pressure changes, and regulatory constraints associated with liquid volumes in carry-on baggage. Additionally, standard bottles occupy significant space within luggage and limit packing efficiency.

    The tablet-based system addresses these limitations by utilizing a concentrated formulation in a solid state. Each tablet contains surfactants and cleansing agents compressed into a stable, round form. Upon exposure to water such as when placed on a wet cloth, sponge, or directly under a shower stream, the tablet undergoes dissolution and transitions into a foaming liquid suitable for cleaning.

    The tablets are typically packaged in lightweight, compact pouches to further improve storage efficiency and portability. Its portability and low mass make it suitable for applications such as air travel, camping, and other scenarios where space and weight constraints are a consideration. The dissolution process is designed to provide a controlled release of cleansing agents, allowing a single tablet to produce sufficient lather for individual use. This pre-portioned approach also contributes to consistency in usage and reduces over-application compared to free-pour liquid formats.

    Key features and benefits include:

    • Solid-to-Liquid Conversion Mechanism: Tablets dissolve upon contact with water to produce a foaming cleansing solution comparable to liquid body wash.
    • Compact and Lightweight Format: Reduces overall luggage weight and volume compared to traditional bottled products.
    • Leak Prevention: Eliminates risks associated with liquid spills or container failure during transport.
    • Pre-Measured Dosage: Each tablet provides a consistent, single-use quantity for reducing waste and improving usage control.
    • Travel Compliance: Solid format avoids restrictions associated with liquid volume limits in carry-on baggage.

    Travel Body Wash Melting Tablets offer a shift toward solid-format personal care solutions that emphasize portability, controlled usage, and reduce reliance on liquid packaging.

    Nina filed her Utility Patent with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and is working closely with InventionHome, a leading invention licensing firm, to sell or license the patent rights to her Travel Body Wash Melting Tablets. Ideal licensing candidates would be U.S. based product manufacturers or distributors looking to further develop and distribute this product innovation.

  • GLG Personal Injury Lawyers Expands Truck Accident Services Across Arizona

    Arizona firm expands statewide to help truck accident victims access experienced legal representation and full compensation.

    Truck accident cases require significant experience and resources, and expanding statewide ensures more victims can access the representation they need.”
    — GLG Personal Injury Lawyers

    PHOENIX, AZ, UNITED STATES, March 20, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — GLG Personal Injury Lawyers, a leading Arizona personal injury law firm, has announced the expansion of its legal services to represent truck accident victims across the entire state of Arizona. This move strengthens the firm’s commitment to helping individuals and families affected by serious commercial vehicle accidents, regardless of their location.

    Previously focused on key metropolitan areas such as Phoenix and surrounding communities, GLG Personal Injury Lawyers is now extending its reach to serve clients statewide. The expansion ensures that victims of truck accidents in both urban and rural regions have access to experienced legal representation in complex, high-stakes cases.

    Truck accidents often result in severe injuries due to the size and weight of commercial vehicles. These cases are also significantly more complicated than standard car accident claims, frequently involving multiple parties such as trucking companies, insurers, and third-party contractors. GLG Personal Injury Lawyers is equipped to handle these challenges and pursue full compensation for victims.

    “Truck accident cases require a different level of experience and resources,” said a spokesperson for GLG Personal Injury Lawyers. “By expanding our services statewide, we’re making sure more Arizona residents have access to the representation they need during some of the most difficult times in their lives.”

    The firm handles a wide range of truck accident claims, including those involving 18-wheelers, delivery trucks, and other commercial vehicles. Their legal team focuses on building strong cases through detailed investigations, including reviewing driver logs, vehicle maintenance records, and compliance with federal trucking regulations.

    With more than 30 years of combined experience and over $100 million recovered for clients, GLG Personal Injury Lawyers has built a reputation for aggressive advocacy and personalized client care. The firm emphasizes clear communication, transparency, and a results-driven approach throughout every stage of the legal process.

    The statewide expansion also reflects increasing demand for legal services in truck accident cases across Arizona. As commercial traffic continues to grow along major corridors and rural highways, more individuals are facing the devastating consequences of collisions involving large trucks.
    GLG Personal Injury Lawyers offers free consultations to truck accident victims and works on a contingency fee basis, meaning clients do not pay unless the firm successfully recovers compensation on their behalf.

    “Access to experienced legal representation shouldn’t depend on your location,” the spokesperson added. “Whether someone is injured in Phoenix, Tucson, Flagstaff, or a smaller community, we’re ready to step in and fight for them.”

    Truck accident victims are encouraged to seek legal guidance as soon as possible following an accident, as early action can be critical in preserving evidence and protecting their rights.

    GLG Personal Injury Lawyers is an Arizona-based law firm dedicated to representing individuals injured due to negligence.

  • Automotive Experts Highlight Growing Demand for Engine Repair Services

    Automotive experts report rising demand for engine repair services, driven by aging vehicles, delayed maintenance, and increasing repair costs worldwide.

    GRAND RAPIDS, MI, UNITED STATES, March 20, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Automotive service professionals are reporting a steady rise in demand for engine-related maintenance and repair across many communities in Michigan. Industry observers note that drivers are increasingly seeking specialized Auto Engine Repair Services in Grand Rapids as vehicles remain on the road longer and modern engines become more complex.

    Automotive technicians and service providers in the region have indicated that the Rising Demand for Professional Engine Repair is closely linked to evolving vehicle technology, increasing diagnostic requirements, and the growing number of high-mileage vehicles in everyday use. As modern engines incorporate advanced sensors, electronic systems, and computer-controlled components, identifying engine issues often requires specialized diagnostic equipment and trained professionals.

    Local automotive experts explain that modern vehicles are designed with sophisticated onboard systems that monitor engine performance continuously. When a malfunction occurs, warning indicators such as the dashboard alert, commonly known as the Check Engine Light Diagnostic, prompt drivers to seek professional inspection. Technicians note that early diagnosis plays a key role in preventing minor mechanical concerns from escalating into more costly repairs.

    Increased Focus on Engine Diagnostics and Preventive Maintenance

    Industry specialists report that Engine Diagnostics Services have become a central part of vehicle maintenance. Diagnostic tools allow technicians to read error codes, evaluate sensor data, and assess engine performance in real time. This approach helps determine the root cause of engine problems rather than addressing only visible symptoms.
    Automotive service providers say that the use of digital diagnostic technology has significantly improved accuracy when evaluating engine conditions. The process may include scanning the vehicle’s onboard computer system, reviewing sensor readings, and performing a series of tests to confirm potential mechanical faults.

    Many service professionals indicate that routine inspections and early diagnostics can help reduce long-term repair costs. Engine misfires, fuel system irregularities, overheating issues, and irregular sensor readings can often be detected early through structured Engine Troubleshooting Services.

    Technicians note that modern vehicles rely heavily on electronic control units and sensors that regulate fuel delivery, air intake, emissions, and ignition timing. As a result, identifying faults may involve both mechanical inspections and electronic system evaluations.

    Regional Automotive Service Trends

    Within the Grand Rapids area, automotive professionals have observed increased demand for Vehicle Engine Repair Services in Grand Rapids, particularly among drivers maintaining older vehicles. According to service providers, many vehicle owners are choosing to repair engines rather than replace vehicles due to rising vehicle prices and extended vehicle lifespans.

    Industry professionals also report that regional climate conditions and seasonal driving patterns can influence engine performance. Cold winters and fluctuating temperatures may place additional stress on vehicle components, including batteries, cooling systems, and fuel delivery systems. These factors can contribute to higher demand for engine-related diagnostics and maintenance.

    Automotive service experts emphasize that when drivers notice changes in engine performance, such as unusual noises, reduced power, or warning lights on the dashboard, timely evaluation by trained technicians is recommended. Early detection allows mechanics to identify problems such as ignition system faults, fuel injection irregularities, or sensor malfunctions before they affect broader engine performance.

    Role of Certified Automotive Technicians

    The growing complexity of automotive engines has increased the need for trained specialists who can interpret diagnostic data and perform precise mechanical repairs. Service providers note that Certified Auto Technicians in Grand Rapids play an important role in maintaining vehicle reliability and safety.

    Certification programs for automotive technicians often include training in electronic diagnostics, engine performance systems, and manufacturer-specific repair procedures. These programs are designed to ensure technicians understand both mechanical and digital components within modern vehicles.

    Automotive professionals explain that certification and ongoing training are essential as vehicle technologies continue to evolve. Hybrid powertrains, turbocharged engines, and advanced fuel management systems require technicians to stay updated on industry developments and diagnostic methods.

    Understanding Engine Repair Needs

    Experts emphasize that engine repair needs can vary significantly depending on the type of vehicle, its mileage, and the driving conditions it experiences. Some of the most common issues reported by technicians include overheating, oil leaks, sensor failures, and ignition system problems.

    In many cases, a vehicle’s onboard monitoring system will trigger a warning indicator when it detects abnormal engine activity. A Check Engine Light Diagnostic procedure allows technicians to retrieve fault codes and determine the underlying cause.

    Service providers indicate that addressing engine concerns promptly may help drivers avoid more extensive mechanical damage. For example, minor ignition issues or faulty sensors can sometimes lead to reduced engine efficiency or increased emissions if left unresolved.
    Automotive professionals say that comprehensive Engine Troubleshooting Services typically involve a combination of digital diagnostics and hands-on inspection. This process helps technicians determine whether issues originate from fuel systems, ignition components, exhaust sensors, or internal engine parts.

    Community Access to Local Repair Services

    Drivers seeking assistance often turn to a Local Car Engine Repair Shop in Grand Rapids for evaluation and repair services. Local automotive businesses play a key role in providing accessible maintenance options for residents who depend on their vehicles for commuting, work, and daily transportation.

    Service providers in the region indicate that many repair facilities now offer a range of diagnostic tools and specialized equipment to address modern engine systems. These resources help technicians analyze engine performance and identify repair requirements efficiently.

    Automotive repair centers frequently provide services that include engine diagnostics, routine inspections, performance testing, and mechanical repairs. The goal of these services is to restore proper engine operation while ensuring the vehicle meets manufacturer specifications and safety standards.

    Factors Driving Demand for Engine Repair

    Several factors appear to be contributing to the Rising Demand for Professional Engine Repair across the automotive service industry. Industry observers highlight the following trends:

    • Longer vehicle ownership: Many drivers are keeping their vehicles for extended periods, increasing the likelihood of engine maintenance needs.

    • Complex engine technology: Modern vehicles rely on advanced electronic systems that require specialized diagnostic tools.

    • Higher vehicle replacement costs: Some vehicle owners prefer repairing engines rather than purchasing new vehicles.

    • Preventive maintenance awareness: Drivers are increasingly seeking professional inspections when warning lights appear.

    These trends have encouraged automotive repair facilities to expand diagnostic capabilities and invest in updated equipment designed to analyze complex vehicle systems.

    Industry Perspective on Engine Service Demand

    Automotive professionals state that demand for Auto Engine Repair Services in Grand Rapids reflects broader national trends in vehicle maintenance. As engines incorporate additional sensors and computerized controls, the ability to diagnose issues accurately becomes increasingly important.

    Service providers note that routine maintenance and timely diagnostics can help extend engine lifespan. Regular inspections of fuel systems, ignition components, cooling systems, and emissions controls may help identify potential issues before they require major repairs.
    Technicians also emphasize that drivers should not ignore dashboard warning indicators. While some alerts may indicate minor sensor issues, others may signal conditions that require immediate attention.
