About us
As career window cleaners since 1975, Bob Zeolla and Stefan Bright were acutely aware of the hazards of working in the suspended access business. Most buildings lacked adequate anchorages, and the rigging practices in the past offered little assurance against a catastrophic accident. The lack of adequate safety equipment and standards resulted in injuries, fatal accidents, and lawsuits against building owners for millions of dollars.
A change for the better...
Bob and Stefan became involved in training and the development of regulations to make a positive change. They put together a team of engineers and construction experts to develop products using the best resources available, and American Anchor was formed. Their initiative has resulted in improved safety for workers, the public, and building owners.
