The founder

The Experience Behind SAS. He founded SAS to run projects the way they should be run: one owner, full scope, direct accountability.

Bart Baker spent 26 years as Vice President of Global Operations at Reynolds Polymer Technology, where he led the engineering, manufacturing and installation of complex acrylic projects worldwide. He then served as President of Advanced Aquarium Technologies (AAT) America, where he built the entire US operation from the ground up. That adds up to 30+ years in structural acrylic. Bart has contributed to major acrylic installations for aquariums, zoos and luxury developments across Europe and Asia. Bart is personally involved in every scope review, engineering decision and final sign-off.

How We Work

Engineer. Fabricate. Install.

We hold three commitments on every project, from the first drawing to the final seal.

01

One Accountable Team

We run engineering, fabrication and installation as one team on every project. Our engineers work in the same building as our fabricators, so questions get answered fast. When the crew hits a site issue, the panel builders are on the call.

One accountable team, start to finish.

02

Fabricated and Installed by SAS

We fabricate every panel we install. The engineering package drives fabrication, and our fabrication team briefs the install crew directly. We hand no scope to an outside party between build and delivery, so accountability stays with us.

03

Fabricated in Houston, Texas

We fabricate every panel at our Houston, Texas facility. We control material selection, quality checks and lead times from start to finish. We use no overseas sourcing, so no import timelines or customs variables touch critical components.

How an SAS project runs

Why SAS

Why SAS Exists

We founded SAS to put decades of hands-on experience directly in our customers' hands. On large acrylic projects, scope spreads across vendors and accountability spreads with it. We keep engineering, fabrication and installation in one team, so one group answers for the result from first drawing to final seal. We take ownership, find the right answer for each project and deliver work we stand behind.

Dedication: We take ownership of every challenge and see each project through with care, determination, and attention to detail.
Integrity: We stand behind our word, communicate honestly, and do what's right for our customers.
Problem Solving: We embrace complex challenges and find practical solutions where others see limitations.
Loyalty: We build lasting relationships with our customers and team, grounded in trust, respect, and mutual commitment.
Professionalism: We hold ourselves to the highest standards in craftsmanship, communication, and how we conduct business.
