ZACK FERRI
Zack began his career as a hands-on industrial and decorative concrete coatings contractor, gaining extensive field experience with concrete surfacing systems and the practical challenges of installation and performance. He has owned and operated his own installation company for over a decade, before joining Vuba Stone as Technical and Training Manager for Vuba Stone USA.
Today, Zack leads contractor training and development across the U.S., working directly with installers and their teams to improve technical knowledge, installation practices and project quality, while providing ongoing field and technical support to Vuba’s growing contractor network.
His primary areas of expertise include resin bound installation methodology, concrete overlays and coatings, substrate and base construction, system detailing, technical training, troubleshooting, and technical standards and specifications. Zack is particularly passionate about bridging the gap between practical field experience and technical standards, helping drive greater consistency, professionalism and understanding within the resin bound industry as it continues to expand globally.
He grew that business quickly, focusing on the more difficult technical challenges, often taking on projects most would describe as not possible. At 20 he won our industry's award for installer of the year, and was subsequently invited to join the Technical Committee of our industry association.
During that time he installed all types of resin systems from Terrazzo to Resin Bound Surfacing. He had become a very early adopter of resin bound surfacing, just 10 years after its invention by Sureset in the late 90's. Sureset being a company he always admired for inventing the industry we're in, and was pleased to acquire in 2026.
By 21, he was ready to start Vuba. We were a boutique manufacturer of complex resin products. Focusing on everything from anti static coatings to underwater repairs. Anything but the standard resin product! He wanted to be different and use his technical knowledge, but he eventually found out that to create a business, the market needs to be big enough.
