LEADING THE INDUSTRY IN WOOD PROTECTION
NHLA recently had an opportunity to sit down with Chris Fehr, the
Eastern Region Sales Director at UC Coatings, to chat about how things are going at the company. NHLA: UC Coatings has been around for 50 years! How did you get started? Chris: UC Coatings started in 1971 when Red Murray purchased Upson Chemical and Bates Industries. Our first foray into the wood products industry was with the Bates Glue Release product for woodworkers. NHLA: Speaking of products, UC Coatings has an extensive product list. What products do you offer? Chris: Our products are designed to protect, enhance, and conserve forest resources and provide value to those that use them. We are probably most famous for Anchorseal, which was introduced in
