General Insulation is pleased to announce the opening of two new branches in the United States. Branch 33 will serve the Seattle, Washington region and Branch 34 will service the St. Louis, Missouri area.

Rane Certain, formerly of Pacific Firestop Supply, will manage Seattle’s new branch. Rane received his education from Shoreline Community College, and he has an extensive background in 3M fire protection products. Rane was introduced to 3M in 1994 through Brower Insulation and Bay Insulation. One year later, Rane began working for 3M directly as a 3M Manufacture Representative. His territory was Washington state, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming. Rane held this position until 2006 when he created his business venture, Pacific Firestop Supply. Rane lives in Mukilteo, Washington with his two children.

The General Manager for branch 34 in St. Louis will be Rosemary Wright. Rosemary was a double major in Political Science and Psychology, receiving her Bachelor’s at Baldwin-Wallace College. Rosemary also holds a Masters in Business Administration from Bryant College. While completing her MBA, Rosemary was introduced to the insulation business working as a Customer Service Representative for Owens-Corning. Rosemary worked at the Owens-Corning Fiberglass corporate office and as a sales representative in the Houston region. With the birth of Rosemary’s only child (currently serving in the US Marine Corp) came a brief stint as a stay-at-home mother. Then in January 1993, she became a territory sales rep for Armstrong World Industries. Rosemary also has experience as a National Sales Manager for Armacell and as an Insulation Specialist for a distributor in St. Louis. Most recently Rosemary was employed as a Sales Manager for K-Flex USA where she worked primarily in Texas. Rosemary lives in St. Louis and enjoys fixing up houses in her free time.

General Insulation is very excited about the new branch openings, and please join us in welcoming Rane and Rosemary to the General family. Best of luck!
