With over 20 years in the construction industry, and having held director-level positions with international companies for over a decade, Victor J. Yakin launched APCS with a simple philosophy: Offer world-class products, systems, and service to American architects, engineers, and contractors, with the ease of doing business with a local firm that understands our industry’s challenges and opportunities.
Victor’s industry experience ranges from the establishment and direction of a specialty glazing contractor in the 1990’s, to a decade as National Sales Manager of Halfen Anchoring Systems, to Director of Business Development for Oldcastle, Inc. During his tenure at Halfen, business tripled, launching new products and expanding sales in the USA, Canada, and Mexico. During these years Victor developed a network of world-class manufacturers, fabricators and producers, with which he established long-term relationships and friendships that endure today. A technical background (BSME and a CSI/CDT certification) and decades of experience in sales and marketing in the construction products industry have culminated in APCS, founded in 2012. Victor personally performs the outside sales and business development work as well as general management of the firm.
