Tnemec Company (Kansas City, Missouri, USA), a leader in industrial coatings, recently announced Katie Duda as its new director of industrial products.
In her new role, Duda will oversee the support and expansion of Tnemec’s industrial product portfolio while focusing on critical areas such as liner coatings for primary and secondary containment; corrosion under insulation (CUI) solutions; and other specialized offerings.
Duda brings over 24 years of expertise in the coatings industry, having held pivotal roles in industrial coatings research and development, technical sales, account management, sales management, and product management. Her career began in 2000 after obtaining a bachelor’s degree in health science from Clemson University and an MBA in business administration with a minor in international business.
