DuPont Powder Coatings announces the assignment of Robert R. Phillippi, area manager, as rebar segment leader. In addition to his sales role, he will be responsible for leading DuPont's efforts in this market segment. Having served in both technical and sales capacities with DuPont Powder Coatings for 15 years, Phillippi brings years of experience and devotion into this new responsibility. The recent launch of a new DuPont rebar coating1 – which provides improved wet adhesion, faster application rates and optimal cold weather flexibility – lays the groundwork for aggressive growth in the rebar market, DuPont said. “With this new rebar coating and our commitment to future development, I am very excited about this new role and our path forward in the rebar market,” Phillippi stated. “Though our name will change in early 2013, the commitment to this market will remain strong."
