Georgia Power Concrete Poles: Not Your Usual Specification
By: Kendall Smith, Induron Power Market Manager
Usually, the coatings specifications for T&D structures are predictable. For example, in North America, weathered galvanized, high-voltage, electric transmission poles, towers and substation structures are often protected with sealers and coatings that are surface-tolerant, low stress on aged coatings, easy-to-apply, high-solids, high-build, and proven to protect for 20-25 years in one or two coats.

Fire Hydrant Refurbishment: Let’s Get Creative!
By: Paul Powers, Induron Sales Representative
Recently, one of Induron’s larger water company customers used our products on a fire hydrant refurbishment project. Once the project was underway, I received a request that peaked my curiosity. The customer requested some very bright, dynamic colors in small quantities for a special part of the project. Fortunately, Indurlux 7600 can be made in just about any color, so we were able to provide the colors needed for the project.

Reflecting on a Paint Career with Induron…
By: John Anspach, Induron Technical Director
In a flash of time, 15 years have passed. Unbelievable.
In fall of 2003, I interviewed with Induron Coatings looking for a fresh start in a career that had already spanned 25 years with three other coatings companies. In the summer of 1978, I got my first taste of the coatings industry working as a QC technician summer intern for Ford Motor Co.’s coatings manufacturing plant in Mt. Clemens, Michigan. The following January, I received a full-time job with them as a process engineer and a production supervisor in training. Continue reading Reflecting on a Paint Career with Induron…
Induron Transitions into Next Generation of Leadership
By: David D. Hood, Induron CEO
The first time I earned a paycheck from Induron was as a 15-year-old in the summer of 1958. The company had bought a competitor and their machinery and equipment needed to be moved to our location. Since I was young, strong and eager to earn some money, I was the “hold the other end guy” for the job. My Dad drove me to work most days because I was not old enough to have a license. I earned a whopping $1.60/hour. Continue reading Induron Transitions into Next Generation of Leadership
Induron Sponsors Inaugural Contractor Connect Event
By: Davies Hood, Induron President
Induron was honored to be a headlining sponsor of the Inaugural “Contractor Connect” event held last November at The Grand Hotel in Point Clear, Alabama.
Hosted by Paint BidTracker & PaintSquare this three-day event assembled the owners of leading coatings contractors from all over the U.S. At the event, we met one-on-one with suppliers of critical equipment and materials, attended informative industry-specific panel discussions and learned from each other’s best practices. All of this occurred at a classic hotel that pre-dates the Civil War (part of the history of The Grand includes a cannon ball from the Battle of Mobile!) located on the serene waters of the Mobile Bay.
