NACE International Opens New Office in Europe

  

Stuart BondNACE International, The Corrosion Society, announces the opening of its newest office serving members in Europe. Based in the United Kingdom, NACE’s European operations will be managed by Stuart Bond, a long-time member of NACE, recipient of the association’s Distinguished Service Award, and former Global Technology Program Manager for Element Materials Technology.

“Year after year we see growth in our European membership and demand for more NACE programming throughout Europe,” said Bob Chalker, CEO of NACE International. “Now we have found the ideal representative to help meet those needs. Stuart Bond is ideally qualified − both as a corrosion professional and as an active member of the industry community – to serve our European membership.”

“NACE’s increased activity in the maritime sector now requires more support,” said Buddy Reams, Chief Maritime Officer of NACE International, “so we are pleased to have Stuart on board to help represent the corrosion industry and NACE membership at both the International Maritime Organization and the International Standards Organization.”

“As an active NACE International member since 1993, it is a privilege to serve in the role of European Area Manager & Technical Advisor to enhance the opportunities for current and prospective corrosion professionals in Europe, and increase corrosion awareness across industries in multiple sectors,” said Bond. “Based here in Europe with a global track record, I am excited to engage more deeply in the region to address the challenges faced by my peers in corrosion and aligned disciplines, to develop appropriate programmes, services and products to meet their needs and those of the wider society.”

The new office enables NACE to deliver more of its globally valued technical events, corrosion training, and certification courses and exams in Europe, and provide more local programs that promote the exchange of corrosion information and education.

“As the call for corrosion professionals grows worldwide, we recognize the importance of serving members wherever they need us,” said Chalker. “We have built a presence in almost every global region, and we believe the time is right to put a physical footprint in Europe. It’s promising to see increasing calls for corrosion control and prevention expertise for the infrastructure development and preservation taking place throughout Europe.”
