The Canadian Association for Surface Finishing honored Mike Kuntz of Kuntz Electroplating with its 2023 Industry Leadership Award presented.

“With the dedication of Mike Kuntz and Richard Thibodeau, they were able to revitalize CASF over a decade ago and be drivers of its success and importance as the voice for our industry when answers are needed to important questions,” the CASF says.

“The decision of who to present this year’s award was easy for the CASF board of directors,” the CASF says. “Mike knows the importance of stepping up for his colleagues, and this well-deserved acknowledgment by those who worked closely with him to represent our industry as a sector of importance within the Canadian economy was something the board wanted to present in person.”

Kuntz is Executive Vice President of Kuntz Electroplating, a Tier 1 and Tier 2 supplier of plated and powder-coated components to the automotive, motorcycle, recreational vehicle, heavy truck, and many other specialized industries.

KEI is a full-service supplier of design, manufacturing, assembly, and logistics and supplies finished aluminum extrusions, die castings, forgings, stampings, and steel stampings/castings.

The CASF says Mike’s speech was “humble, gracious and included memories of learning what taking part in CASF would involve from his father, Paul Kuntz.”

The CASF Industry Leadership Award honors a person who has shown leadership dedication and has made significant contributions over his/her career to the surface finishing industry.

The CASF Industry Leadership Award was presented at the 5th Biennial CASF Golf Tournament held at Deer Creek Golf Club.
