Phil joined HumiSeal eight years ago when the company was known as Concoat. Over the years he has worked his way through the ranks. In 2002 he was promoted to chief chemist and was responsible for various product developments such as the water-based coating 1H20 and more recently UV40, the highly successful ultra-violet conformal coating solution. His remit also extended to process optimisation, product trials and customer support.
Phil started his new role as European sales and technical manager in August this year and is now responsible for the continued development of European sales and overseeing the company’s R&D programme based in Camberly, Surrey.
Phil Kinner, European sales and technical manager, for HumiSeal Europe summed up his new role by saying “I am really excited by the new challenges that this roles brings, and developing my existing skills to enable me to effectively help our customers. I feel that my experience and knowledge of the materials, gained during their development and through years of application work will continue to prove invaluable to customers and distributors alike. I will be ideally placed to be the interface between determining what our customers expect from our next generation of conformal coating materials and ensuring that HumiSeal continues to deliver what it’s customers require.’
Prior to joining HumiSeal, Phil graduated from The University of Durham in 1999 with a MSc in organic chemistry.
