Sprayroq Inc. has announced the addition of Jeremy Huckaby to its team, as the new director of business development.

The developer and manufacturer of fast-curing structural and chemical-resistant polyurethanes for the rehabilitation and protection of underground infrastructure brought Huckaby on board to address the needs of a maturing trenchless technologies market, and to help supply an expanding list of applications for the company’s products.

“The deteriorating infrastructure of our country is an increasingly urgent issue, and there’s no one better positioned to address corroded, crumbling assets than Sprayroq. No question, now is our time,” says Huckaby. “I’m excited to focus on developing our Sprayroq Certified Partner (SCP) network to build the capacity we’ll need to continue leading the way in pipeline and other asset rehabilitation.

“My goals include uncovering opportunities for Sprayroq to participate in P3 (Public Private Partnership) projects through our parent company, Signet Capital. I will also be working to grow relationships and increase awareness of Sprayroq among municipalities and engineering firms, because we know once they’re aware of our product and its track record of excellent performance, they’ll specify Sprayroq for their rehabilitation and protective coating projects.”

Huckaby has a rich background in coatings, including 12 years working with commercial and industrial coatings contractors, architects, engineers, owners and city decision-makers for Sherwin-Williams. He brings to the table expertise in surface preparation and commercial/industrial coatings recommendations for a variety of substrates.

“We’re very pleased to have Jeremy on board,” says Sprayroq technical services director Chip Johnson. “He has extensive experience working with stakeholders to provide value-added specification solutions, so he appreciates the technological superiority of our products. He also has the vision to imagine peripheral applications for them, in many industries. His significant professional management and employee training experience will help us develop all these markets, while providing greater service and value for our installer partners and asset owners.”
