Interview with Jim Jones

By Scott Francis, Editor Products Finishing Magazine

I met Jim Jones at SUR/FIN 2021. I was walking back from the show at the end of the day and saw him walking, carrying the Finishing Hall of Fame award under his arm that Products Finishing had presented him earlier that afternoon in recognition of his service to the finishing industry.

I caught up with him and introduced myself. As we talked I was stricken by Jim’s humility and his sense of duty and loyalty to the surface finishing community. If I could have recorded our conversation then, I would have. I knew then and there I wanted to have him as a guest for PF’s On the Line podcast. I hope you enjoy listening to his experiences and insights into the industry as I have.
