AluK process development scientist Anna Plesniar has been elected vice chair of the Qualicoat Council for the UK and Ireland.

Anna has been AluK’s representative on the council since the company joined in 2016 and has been a long-standing advocate of the benefits of membership to systems houses, applicators and pre-treatment and powder-coating suppliers.

She said: “I’m particularly looking forward to helping develop new communications initiatives, which will hopefully improve how we share information and knowledge, not just among members but across the wider aluminium community.”

A PhD qualified chemist and acknowledged expert on the chemical processes involved in coating and finishing, Anna is already a member of the ALFED NFE/35 British Standards Development committee, helping to shape future standards in aluminium coating.

Among her many other achievements, Anna was winner of the Unsung Hero award at the 2018 G-Awards.
