A Day on the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail

By: Joey Thomas, Induron Business Development Manager

Induron Golf OutingAs the sun rose on October 4th 2023, golfers from around Alabama (and this lucky Business Development Manager from Kentucky) gathered together in Muscle Shoals to take on the famously-challenging Fighting Joe course.  With long fairways, dunes-like mounds and plenty of water and sand, the course represents an abundance of tests to even the better ball strikers–but that is not what this day was all about.   Continue reading A Day on the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail

A Tribute to Tex Enoch

By: Davies Hood, Induron President

Alfred “Tex” Enoch has been in the protective coatings industry for 50 years. He began his career with Pennsbury Paint in 1969, and is retiring from Induron Coatings in July 2023. While we will no longer work together, Tex is much more than a retired Induron employee–Tex is a good friend who I consider to be one of my personal role models and a professional inspiration.  Continue reading A Tribute to Tex Enoch

The Six Most Dangerous Words

By: Jeff Lackey, Ph.D., Induron Technical Director

The most dangerous phrase in business is “we’ve always done it that way.” This phrase can be a killer of innovation, creativity, and growth. It can also lead to stagnation and decline. Continue reading The Six Most Dangerous Words

Building a Great Team Starts with Connection

By: Steve Freed, Induron Northeast Regional Sales Manager

Teams form in all aspects of life. We typically associate a team with sports, and in Philadelphia, we’ve had a pretty good run of success recently even though we haven’t gotten over that final hurdle just yet. Our Phillies competed in the World Series, and of course, the Eagles had a great run this season that ended with a very entertaining and tightly-contested Super Bowl.  Continue reading Building a Great Team Starts with Connection

What Didn’t Kill Us, Really Did Make Us Stronger

By: Andy Odorzynski, Induron National Sales Manager

Andy OdorzynskiFor the first time in a while, I’m optimistic! I look at the beginning of 2023 very much like a student finishing college and beginning a new career: We spent the past few years working our butts off! The results were good most of the time, but we also had to work through some failure. We had to get serious about our priorities and decide to push through the tough stuff. To paraphrase one of my favorite contemporary business gurus, Simon Sinek: we knew who could hoist a sail. Now we know who is able, and more importantly willing, to hoist a sail in a storm Continue reading What Didn’t Kill Us, Really Did Make Us Stronger

2023, Induron is Ready

By: Davies Hood, Induron President

2023, Induron is ReadyAs we flip the calendar from 2022 to 2023, I must say that I am optimistic about Induron’s position in our target markets. 2022 was another stressful year in the coatings industry–much like the two preceding years–because of a myriad of supply chain issues ranging from consistently high inflation to shipping delays, and in some extreme cases, ABSOLUTELY NO RAW MATERIAL available.  Continue reading 2023, Induron is Ready
