Dear PSCT Members,
We welcomed Bharat Mankani, PAT Group Leader – PPG Process Analytical Technology. Bharat has spent his last 15 years dedicated to Optical Spectroscopy. He spoke on enhancing product quality in manufacturing. The work that Bharat oversees through analytics is meant to help production be more efficient and improve quality of manufacturing. It was a very educational and enjoyable talk.
The April meeting will be held at PPG Place Downtown and will be on RQ Resins: Alkyd Technologies. We will also be holding election of 2025-26 PSCT Officers and Board of Directors, please plan on attending.
May’s event has finally come together and will entail another visit to Liberty Magic. We will be seeing the magic of Joshua Jay. This is a very nice venue and I really enjoyed our last visit there two years ago. There is a link in the Newsletter to sign up. I look forward to seeing everyone there.
Keep an eye on the newsletter for upcoming meetings and events and a reminder that the Coating Tech Conference will be in Pittsburgh between April 28 and 30. We have also put out a save the date reminder for the golf outing, which will be held on September 11, 2025 at Birdsfoot.
I understand that we got a few applications for our annual scholarship and the winners will be announced in May.
Gregory Stewart, PSCT President 2024 – 2025
