Hubbard-Hall Inc. (Waterbury, Connecticut) adds depth to its technical department with the addition of Jameson Grout. He utilizes his 10 years of experience and passion for being tank-side in the metal finishing industry to help customers in the New England region solve their toughest problems.

Prior to joining Hubbard-Hall, Grout worked his way up the plating lines, from lab technician to plating manager and, eventually, to production manager. In addition to plating, he has experience with aluminum finishing, black oxide, phosphating, nickel, copper and gold plating. Grout has also worked with electropolishing and electroless nickel.

“I have worked on both sides of the metal finishing coin — as a vendor and manufacturer. I hope to marry these experiences and provide comprehensive support to our customers. I love this corner of American manufacturing, and I am proud to be a part of its future,” Grout says.

He reports to product manager Jason Potts. “I am excited for our customers to meet Jameson and engage with his expertise and enthusiasm,” Potts says.

Grout earned a bachelor’s degree in science from Norwich University and CEF-1 Certification through the National Association for Surface Finishing.

Looking Back: The Columnists

Many industrial/technical journals consist of a well-rounded mixture of technical papers, practical articles about technology and how-to-do-it features, including this one, Products Finishing. In its decades of publication, the AESF/NASF journal, Plating & Surface Finishing also endeavored to meet this need. Among the many features were those of the columnists, recognized experts who had expertise in certain segments of the surface finishing industry. This article contains a sampling of columns published in P&SF over the years, which still retain information of importance even today.
