Tecta America is pleased to announce that Joseph Lancaster is transitioning from his role as operating unit president of Metalcrafts to vice president of operations at Tecta America Atlanta. As part of this transition, Alessandro Vitello has been promoted to president of Metalcrafts.

Following Metalcrafts’ acquisition by Tecta America in 2015, Joseph Lancaster served as operations manager before being promoted to operating unit president in 2020. During his tenure as OUP, his focus was on continuing and strengthening the company’s long-standing reputation for quality, professionalism, and safety. In his new role as vice president of operations at Tecta America Atlanta, Joseph will apply that same technical, production-driven mindset while partnering closely with the Atlanta leadership team to support continued growth and operational success.

Joseph has more than four decades of experience in the roofing industry, spanning field operations, production leadership, and management. His career progression began in the field, working across BUR, single-ply, and metal roofing crews, and advanced through roles including foreman, superintendent, estimator, and production leadership. His experience is rooted in production-focused leadership and a hands-on approach to complex roofing projects.

“I transferred from Metalcrafts to Atlanta a little over 10 years ago and have been asked countless times if I miss Savannah,” said Wade Lancaster, operating unit president of Tecta America Atlanta. “My answer has always been the same. I miss being close to family, the beach and working with my dad. When we started discussing him wanting to step back from the OUP role, I saw an opportunity for both of us. This move will allow him to take a role that he genuinely loves and thrives in. Meanwhile, our office is gaining decades of experience and knowledge that will help with our continued success.”

Outside of work, Joseph enjoys fishing, boating, and spending time with his family, especially watching his grandchildren compete in sports.

Please join us in thanking Joseph for his leadership at Metalcrafts and in wishing him continued success in his new role with Tecta America Atlanta.
