Local artist has brush with corrosion engineering

It's nice to see how much the company I've owned and operated for over 32 years has grown. We keep adding new staff to our team of designers, engineers, and sales teams -- so much that we outgrew our space at our Doylestown, Pa. headquarters, and recently expanded our facilities.

But the newly leased space was a bit drab. So we hired Lynette Fries, a local artist who lives in Kintnersville, Pa., to give the place a splash of our global project images and color. She's painting a beautiful mural, which depicts many of MATCOR’s key global corrosion projects.

I think her work is just the thing to help create an innovative workplace for our ever-expanding company. More important, having the chance to see great talent such as Lynette’s supports the local community and promotes the arts -- a couple of my top priorities (in addition to saving the world and many of its treasures, one less corroded pipeline at a time!).


Just look at what Lynette has done so far to brighten our offices. She grew up in Warminster, but now makes Upper Bucks County her home. Lynette studied journalism at Temple University, and pursued several careers before finding her calling and joy with paints and creativity. Her work can also be found in children’s rooms, nurseries, and local business waiting areas.

She says she approaches each project by personalizing the images, and finding the right colors to meet each customer request. Well, we're one satisfied customer, Lynette! Thank you again for your hard work, creativity, and enthusiasm!

Here’s a quick view of Lynette below. We'll keep everyone updated on her progress, so be sure to check back for pictures of the finished project.
