Coventya Inc. is celebrating 10 years of supplying specialty chemicals to the U.S. surface finishing industry and the company's new president said the future couldn’t look brighter.
Since 2004, Coventya has invested significant resources to support the growing US business. The total number of employees has more than doubled, several new labs have been built and a scanning electron microscope was purchased to satisfy our customer’s material science needs.
“Although Coventya has roots that date back to the 1920’s in Europe, we’re relatively new,” said Greg Terrell, U.S. National Sales Manager. “Also, we’re an ideal size for a supplier … small enough to understand our customer’s needs but big enough to do something about it.”
Coventya Inc. operates from two U.S. facilities. Manufacturing and general metal finishing R&D is in Cleveland, Ohio and a Technology Center for functional coatings is located in Oriskany, New York. Coventya is a multinational specialty chemical company with facilities in 14 countries and a presence in 50 more.
Effective October 1, Erik Weyls will take on the role of Chief Operating Officer (COO), with a strong focus and involvement in Asia and corporate business development.
In parallel, Thrasher will assume the position of President of Coventya, Inc.
