Ken Kreeger
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Ken Kreeger, a much loved former colleague and friend to many of us at Nordson Industrial Coating Systems. A hugely influential figure in the powder coating industry, he was a tenacious Sales leader, shaping both the wider industry and the Powder business at Nordson for almost four decades before his retirement in 2010.
His larger than life personality was always mixed with great warmth, humor and a fierce ability to win, leaving a legacy at Nordson that still shapes how we operate today. In addition to his leadership at Nordson, Ken was also a key member of the Powder Coating Institute for 20 years, mentoring numerous industry professionals through workshops, conferences and the integral part he played in the development of the Powder Coating Handbook, a seminal work still used today. In 2010 Ken was inducted to the Powder Coating Institute Hall Of Fame.
Ken will be missed by many, throughout the powder coating industry – please join us to extend sincere condolences to his wife Cathy and the Kreeger family.
