Welcome Joe Sarver!

2008 has been a very busy year for us. We have had many changes in our department and new product developments as well.

Mr. Science has left the Laser Marking Materials group. Sean Weir had a promotion as the Product Manager of the SpecTruLite line of heavy-metal-free organic inks and coatings. He is responsible for sales and marketing, managing technical service for prospective sales, and supporting Ferro's global organic glass products business. But have no fear Mr. Science fans, Sean remains in our facility and he serves as a consultant for the laser group. We wish Sean all the best with his promotion and hope he brings the same success to his new Organics group as he did with our Laser group. Since there now is an opening position that needed filling we added a new Scientist, Joe Sarver. Joe has a background in color styling & matching in inks, coatings, plastics, and fiber using organic and inorganic chromophores. His specialties are in functional applications of organic & inorganic compounds for use in the areas of laser marking and infrared reflecting technology. We feel that Joe’s special abilities will complement our group and will enable us to provide even more exciting innovations in Laser Marking in our future. Welcome to our group Joe!
