Kevin Klotz, president of Coatings for Industry, a direct-to-contractor supplier of industrial coating products, has learned that giving away floor coatings is much harder than he’d thought.
The industry veteran wants to do his part in the wake of tragedy by supplying coating products to townships or public buildings severely damaged by Super Storm Sandy. But despite repeated calls to nearly a dozen affected municipalities along the New Jersey shore, as well as Staten Island, N.Y., and several impacted facilities and nonprofit organizations, Coatings for Industry has yet to receive a single response, let alone a request for assistance.
