Environmental, Health, Safety & Quality Manager at Kenway Corporation - Augusta, ME, US
Kenway Corporation is a custom composites manufacturer, serving customers in heavy industry, power and FGD, wind and renewable energy, transportation and rail, infrastructure, chemical, aquaculture, pulp and paper, and others. In 1947 Kenneth G. Priest, Sr. founded Kenway Boats, building wooden runabouts of his own design. The next two decades witnessed the transition to fiberglass boats and other composite fabrications as the company diversified its product offerings. Gradually, Kenway Boats' reputation for excellence spread to industrial customers and the corrosion resistant, custom fabricated pipes, tanks, hoods, and the myriad other special molded products they required. Finally, in 1966, the decision was made to focus exclusively on these industrial clients and Kenway Corporation replaced Kenway Boats. As Kenway Corporation continued to evolve over the following decades what remained constant was the focus on providing the highest quality composite products and the determination to innovate. Currently, the company and its (70) employees are strategically positioned to serve customers by offering complete engineering and design capabilities so that they may bring both standard items as well as "one-off" special molded fabrications from the design phase, through the manufacturing phase, to the final on-site installation. Custom work and custom service are what distinguish Kenway as it manufactures product for industries ranging from marine, to coal-fired power, to infrastructure, to pulp and paper, to transportation, to renewable energy. What links the company's various business lines is: technologically advanced manufacturing techniques; products manufactured for exacting service applications; and the highest quality assurance procedures and processes.
