SAN MARCOS, TX Bautex Systems announces it has expanded its management team with the addition of Vice President of Sales and Business Development Chris Noone, who joins the company after more than a decade in senior sales management roles at Oldcastle, Inc. 

Noone brings experience leading sales efforts across a four-state region including Texas, serving architects, engineers, contractors and building owners via direct and indirect sales channels, including Acme Brick.

Based in Dallas and reporting to Bautex President Paul Brown, Noone is leading the Bautex sales team, cultivating relationships with architects and builders who want to stay ahead of changing code requirements for commercial and residential construction.

 "The broader Texas construction industry is on the cusp of having to make significant changes in the way they design and build because the state and its cities are adopting 2015 building codes that raise the bar for energy efficiency, life safety and overall building performance," Noone says. "The Bautex Wall System, constructed with Bautex Block, is well suited for both commercial and residential buildings because it is fast and easy to construct using familiar construction techniques, which we demonstrate in our contractor training program." 

Noone holds a Bachelor of Science from Kansas State University and is certified by the National Concrete Masonry Association and Interlocking Concrete Paving Institute.
