MesoCoat Inc. Hires Aerospace Veteran James Chew

Euclid, OH | Posted on August 24th, 2010

Mr. Chew has twenty-seven years of experience in the Defense/Aerospace market in both the Federal Government and as an executive in the various Defense/Aerospace companies. Mr. Chew has held executive level positions within the Department of Defense, including the Office of Director, Defense Research and Engineering, Office of Naval Research, and Air Force Research Laboratory; and at several defense prime contractors, including ATK and most recently SAIC. Of particular relevance to MesoCoat is Mr. Chew‟s prior experience with T/J Technologies, where under his leadership he took the company from being a small SBIR materials development company to an industry leader in nano-lithium iron phosphate cathodes and positioned the company for an acquisition by A123 Systems.

According to Mr. Chew, "The MesoCoat corrosion protection materials in the chrome replacement and marine corrosion markets are just as disruptive as the nano-iron-phosphate cathode material was to the Aerospace/Defense energy storage market", said Mr. Chew. "With the future Defense budgets focused on sustaining current platforms rather than developing or producing new one, MesoCoat offers the ideal environmentally friendly anti-corrosion/wear resistant materials solutions to the Department of Defense for platform sustainment and life extension."
