BUFFALO, N.Y. -- George A. Giotis, president of Flasher Handling Corp. in Depew and a 1949 graduate of UB, has been named 1999 Engineer of the Year by the UB Engineering Alumni Association.

The annual award is given to a distinguished alumnus who has distinguished himself or herself in alumni, community, business and professional activities.

Flasher Handling Corp. has developed and manufactured work-protection products, notably those surrounding roadwork projects, since 1956.

Giotis' patented Air Spill barricade's vertical-panel channelizer improves safety for workers in road-maintenance repair and construction sites, as well as the driving public.

The device is stable, easy to handle and will withstand winds of up to 55 miles-per-hour.

Giotis is active in the engineering alumni association, student clubs, the Delta Society, Industry/University Day and the employment of UB engineering graduates and interns.

He lives in Williamsville.
