Jerry Trostle has announced he will step down as General Manager of Wagner Systems effective July 6. Trostle, who has served as GM of Wagner Systems since February 2005, is resigning from the role as well as Vice President of the Powder Coating Institute to move on to new opportunities on this career path.
In the interim, Jerry will work with his replacement to assure a smooth transition. Matthias Koehler will succeed Trostle. Koehler, who has more than 10 years of experience within Wagner-Group in Europe and internationally, worked for several years as financial analyst and has experiences in sales, sales management and general management. He will continue with the existing plans and programs established at Wagner Systems, Inc.
"Wagner would like to thank Jerry Trostle for all his efforts, his enthusiasm and spirit for WSI and Wagner and for his loyalty to the brand," a company spokesperson said.

Why am I seeing this?
Dear Products Finishing Audience Member:
Starting on Thursday August 8, 2024, PF will begin “gating” its premium content, asking all new website users to provide some information about themselves — name, title, employer, email address — before they are provided free access to the content.
We are doing this because the ways PF’s audience finds and accesses our content is changing. Google’s search algorithms, increasingly, make it difficult to connect PF’s content with the people who might make use of it. On top of that, generative AI like ChatGPT is serving up PF content to internet users without attributing that content to PF.
As a result, it has become increasingly important for PF evolve its audience development strategy and learn as much as possible about who is accessing our content, what content they are accessing and how they are accessing it.
With this audience development strategy, we hope to do two things:
First, we will be better able to deliver directly to our audience the editorial content that aligns with the surface finishing materials, processes and technologies that interest them.
Second, we will be better able to connect the materials, equipment and services our advertisers supply with the audience that is most interested in them.
PF plays a distinctive role and has earned a place of esteem within the focused and specialized industry it serves. Large developments in the media landscape are forcing us to change the way we communicate with our audience. We are confident that our audience values the role PF plays in their professional lives and will join us in this effort to stay connected to them.
We thank you for your continued interest in and support of PF and welcome any questions you might have about the brand’s new content gating strategy.
