POWDER COATING, February 2018 15
Production Plus Corp./Magic Rack,
Ashville, Ohio, has hired John Schott
as the company's first-ever vice presi-
dent of business development. Al-
though new to the coatings and finish-
ing supplies industry, Schott's business
experience ranges from mid-level man-
agement in B2B consultative sales for a
Fortune 200 company in California to
owning and operating a small business
in rural Kansas to helping companies of
all sizes export their products.
"My first objective is to build out my
sales force and distributor channels
across the US, Mexico, and Canada,"
said Schott. "We've got great, innova-
tive products that every coater and fin-
isher needs. We've got great people
with incredible design capabilities, but
we've not yet began to touch the poten-
tial of the marketplace. I'm focused on
adding to my team and making new,
strategic alliances."
Production Plus, the maker of the
Magic Rack product line, is a full-ser-
vice provider of solutions for paint lines,
including manufacturing complete
racking systems for powder, wet spray,
e-coat, and plating applications.
