He brings 24 years of extensive experience in manufacturing, distribution, and sales leadership to the position. Under Taney’s stewardship, Corrosion Innovations experienced rapid growth while expanding its distributor network and pioneering advancements in market trends and technology.

As CEO, Taney plans to continue this trajectory while focusing on product diversification, global expansion, and the development of innovative, cost-effective solutions.
