Hubbard-Hall Welcomes Technical Service Rep
Hubbard-Hall hires Jameson Grout as a technical service representative.
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.
