Arlon Appoints Jason Maupin as COO
January 18, 2023 | Arlon EMDEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Arlon announced the addition of Jason Maupin as Chief Operating Officer. In this role Mr. Maupin will oversee Arlon’s specialty materials business as well as EMC’s laminate distribution business in N. America. This hiring move is the result of Arlon’s current President, Brad Foster announcing his intent to retire in early 2023, after 21 years with Arlon.
“Hiring Jason is a very good move for the organization. He brings sound business practices, industry knowledge, and strong leadership skills to Arlon. These will be needed as Arlon and EMC look to grow business in N. America.”, commented Mr. Foster.
Mr. Maupin brings to Arlon over 25 years of electronics industry experience. He comes to Arlon from Dymax Corporation, where he was the Chief Commercial Officer. Before that, Mr. Maupin was Regional President of Enthone, a specialty chemical provider to the printed circuit, semi-conductor and general metal finishing industries. Prior to entering the commercial sector, Mr. Maupin was in the US Navy from 1991-1996, where he served on the Fast Attack submarine USS Jefferson City.
“As a result of EMC’s acquisition, Arlon is now uniquely positioned in N. America to leverage product portfolios, R&D capabilities, and the financial strength of EMC to rapidly introduce new products, expand Arlon’s capacity, and upgrade manufacturing. These advancements will enable Arlon to increase product offerings into core customers as well as expand globally into other markets. This is an exciting opportunity to combine two truly unique organizations and offer the best of both to OEM and fabricator customers”, stated Mr. Maupin.

The Chemical Connection: Getting to Know Your Vendor
02/16/2024 | Don Ball -- Column: The Chemical ConnectionAfter working for a capital equipment supplier for almost 50 years, I’ve found that the most important part of getting to know your vendor is good communication among all parties. While contact between fabricators of a constantly changing product line and the designers of those products may occur daily or weekly, conversations between you and your equipment supplier may be years apart. That lengthy gap often means that previous contacts may have been promoted, retired, or moved on to other opportunities. You may have also migrated to a new supplier with whom you have little or no history. In either case, you will be interacting with someone you are unfamiliar with (as they are with you). Therefore, it is essential for both sides to communicate clearly so expectations will align.
