Dear Friends of Thermal Spray,
Exciting news!
The International Thermal Spray Association headquarters office
and the SPRAYTIME Editorial and Publishing office are moving
to a larger location to accommodate our growth over the past
5+ years and to appropriately display the growing ITSA Historical
Collection. Our new 650 square foot office is at 208 Third
Street, Fairport Harbor, Ohio 44077. (Please take the time
to visit our website www.thermalspray.org for a virtual PowerPoint
tour.)
What is ITSA’s relationship
with ASM International and the ASM Thermal Spray Society?
The International Thermal Spray Association and SPRAYTIME
have been renting office space and services from ASM International
since December 1998. Although separate and distinct entities,
both ITSA and ASM have benefited from the years under the
same roof by developing a very strong communication channel.
We fully expect to maintain our excellent relationship with
ASM International and the ASM Thermal Spray Society and to
continue including ASM TSS news and features in our flagship
SPRAYTIME publication.
Benefits
In addition to regular office hours, the International
Thermal Spray Association's new home will enable us to be
"open by appointment" to individuals wanting to
view the thermal spray historical collection. We plan to have
a few weekends where we will invite the public from the surrounding
communities to visit and learn about thermal spray. This facility
will be attractive to visitors and its location in a small
harbor town will be inviting to individuals who may also want
to see a beautiful beach, a large coast guard station, and
a maritime and lighthouse museum. Literature from all ITSA
member companies will be on display at all times for visitors.
Effective When?
Your International Thermal Spray Association and SPRAYTIME
new offices will be operational by Thursday, September 30th
or before. Please start using the new mailing address
and email addresses now. The phone and fax numbers
will be active by October 1st.
