Calling All NASF Job Shops Members!!
In conjunction with NASF and as part of a grant from U.S. EPA Region V, the National Center for Manufacturing Sciences (NCMS) has sent a pollution prevention (P2) benchmarking survey to NASF job shop members. This project will provide valuable information for the surface finishing industry. The response to the survey has to date has been lower than expected, and we would like more responses to enhance the statistically reliability of the project. We are reaching out to you members of your Chapter who have not yet submitted a survey to participate in this effort and submit a survey response.
Companies should have received a hard copy of the survey in the mail. If companies do not have any record of receiving the survey, we can provide another copy or they may be able to complete it on-line at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/metalfinishingsurvey. Companies responding to this survey will receive a free copy of Pollution Prevention and Control Technologies for Plating Operations, second edition. This book have been sold world-wide and it is generally considered the most comprehensive text for this subject.
Advantages of NASF Membership

New England Member Brings Unique Perspective to NASF Board
Chris Capalbo, vice president of operations at New Method Plating and member of the New England Chapter of the National Association of Surface Finishing (NASF), is one of four recently appointed to the Board of Directors. He represents the third generation of Capalbo family members, carrying on the strong legacy his grandfather created at New Method Plating in 1931. With recent McKinsey research study reporting only 30 percent of family businesses surviving into the third generation of ownership, this is quite an accomplishment and allows Capalbo to bring valuable business insights to the organization.
When responding to his appointment to the Board, Capalbo commented, “I am honored to join the NASF Board of Directors. I look forward to collaborating with an exceptional group of professionals who share the same commitment in building a sustainable future for our industry.”
Capalbo is one of 18 Board Members representing companies throughout the country who work together to ensure that NASF operates to its fullest capacity for its members and the success of their businesses.
