The newly unveiled Ferrari Luce has captured attention as the brand’s first fully electric vehicle, proving once again that heritage and innovation can exist in the same design story.

That idea resonates beyond the road.

For more than 125 years, GGI has continued to evolve with the glass and glazing industry. And when GGI brings something new to architectural glass, the industry notices.

In this past Ferrari project, GGI furnished red back-painted glass and all-glass entrance systems, helping bring the brand’s unmistakable identity into the built environment.

Every year opens the door to new challenges, new opportunities and new ways to create spaces that capture attention.

Because timeless brands do not stand still. They keep opening the door to what comes next.

GGI Names Rocco Ficara National Sales Manager

GGI (General Glass International) announced the promotion of Rocco Ficara to National Sales Manager of the company’s Specialty Glass Division, effective June 1.

The promotion aligns with the recent leadership transition of Gus Trupiano, who will continue supporting GGI customers throughout the Southeast as an independent manufacturer representative.

Ficara brings more than 30 years of glass industry experience, including expertise in specialty architectural glass, product development, international sourcing, and collaboration across North American markets. In his new role, he will lead national sales efforts for GGI’s Specialty Glass Division while continuing to work closely with customers, internal sales teams, and independent representatives.
