Roto Frank of America, Inc. participated in the 2026 Connecticut Invention Convention (CIC) State Finals Awards Ceremony on May 30 at the Jorgensen Center for the Performing Arts at the University of Connecticut. Chris Dimou, President & CEO of Roto Frank of America and President of the Americas region for the Roto Frank Group, attended the event alongside educators, industry leaders, and community partners.

The annual event brings together K–12 student inventors from across Connecticut. Students present original solutions to real-world problems, with the program emphasizing STEM education, design thinking, and entrepreneurship.

"Programs like the Connecticut Invention Convention are critical in shaping the next generation of innovators. By connecting education with industry, we can help ensure a strong and sustainable talent pipeline for the future."

Roto Frank of America's support for the CIC reflects its broader commitment to bridging classroom learning with real-world application. The company views engagement with programs like this as one way to invest in the long-term health of U.S. manufacturing and the fenestration industry specifically.
