Raynell joined our team in 2018 as our Office and Accounting Manager. After a short period in that role, it was apparent that she had more to contribute to the team as she began to display an acumen for production coordination and personnel management. In 2021, she transitioned into the role of Production Coordinator, and drove initiatives for improvement ranging from revamping our safety program to the introduction of Lean 6S to our process. She has implemented a thorough and documented training process for all new hires, in addition to installing a program for continuous improvement of our longer-tenured personnel. She is our primary contact for scheduling/progress updates of all shop projects.

Robby joined our team in late 2018 as an abrasive blasting technician, but displayed a desire and aptitude for facility maintenance.

Robby is a driving member of our Safety Committee, and was recently assigned as our Safety Coordinator in addition to his existing maintenance role.

Aaron’s skillset grants the Arbonite Team, new and tenured, the opportunity to grow and succeed.

Jim has over 40 years of experience in the coating and lining industry – he started in 1980 with Penn Line Industries in King of Prussia, PA and arrived at Arbonite in 1995. In that time, Jim has become proficient in the application of all types of lining materials, from sprayable epoxies, baked phenolics and vinyl esters to sheet-applied materials, such as rubber lining and Koroseal® PVC. Given the broad range of his practical experience, it’s safe to say that there simply is not much out there in our industry that Jim has not seen before. Jim also obtained his PADEP “TL” certification in 2021.
