Hubbard-Hall announced the promotion of Ted Saltzman to Business Development Manager and the hiring of Andre Depew as Product Manager of Metal Coloring. These strategic appointments will support the company’s growth in its lines of specialty chemicals for surface finishing and the ability to offer process expertise to its manufacturing customers.
In the newly created role of Business Development Manager, Saltzman will be responsible for managing corporate accounts and selling a full range of products in the U.S. and Mexico. Saltzman joined Hubbard-Hall in 2017 as a Territory Sales Manager where he provided consultative sales presentations in the Texas area.
The newest addition of Depew comes when Hubbard-Hall is expanding its sales and applications expertise in the metal coloring line. Depew is responsible for expanding the business plan for the metal coloring product line, including Black Magi (offering the darkest and fastest black coating) and Mi-Tique (antiquing). Depew will also support customers in phosphate conversion coatings and heat treatment.
With Hubbard-Hall as the only major supplier to offer hot black oxide and room temperature black oxide, Depew’s 30 years of expertise in metal finishing, machining, and heat treating will be of value. Depew’s prior positions have developed his skill set to work with customers in a consultative manner, providing them with the best products for their process. Depew has serviced customers throughout the Midwest and Southeast.
“Our goal is to help manufacturers get better results with less cost, complexity and chemistry. Both Ted and Andre bring unique skillsets to their roles and will take a customized approach to each customer’s specific need(s),” stated Scott Papst, VP, Specialty Sales and Business Development.
