Frank Altmayer is a Master Surface Finisher and an AESF Fellow who is the technical education director of the AESF Foundation and NASF.
He was most recently featured in an edition of FinishingAndCoating.com’s Legend series, and we feature him in our FinishLine Podcast.
Altmayer owned Scientific Control Laboratories from 1986 to 2007 and has 45 years of experience in metal finishing. When he first started at SCL, the lab manager left to take a position at a job shop, and Altmayer convinced the owner to give him the job, even though he didn’t have a college degree at that time.
“He just said as long as you keep working towards it, you can manage the laboratory,” says Altmayer, who did get his degree in 1974.
Since then, Altmayer has been a consultant and became technical education director of the AESF Foundation and NASF, where he has taught electroplating courses for over 40 years.
