Laurence R. Fountain
December 28, 2012
It is with sadness that we announce the passing of our Founder Laurence R. Fountain, 92 after a brief illness. “Larry” was the founder of the Company and it was his vision that was the basis of what Fountain Plating has become. Without his foresight, dedication and tenacity we would not be where we are today and we will be forever grateful for that. We have all reaped the benefits of his many years of experience and knowledge. We take comfort in the thought that he was able to see the company grow from his garage on Cortland Street to the current facility in West Springfield. Larry will be sorely missed by all who knew him.

Effective immediately Ken Maryea will assume the duties as President of Fountain Plating Company. Ken worked closely with Mark and I for over 30 years and I can state without reservation that Ken is more than capable of handling the operations of this company. We have all worked hard to maintain a business as usual atmosphere since July and reforming our board of directors and appointing Ken as president is the last piece of the puzzle necessary to move forward. I am confident that we will continue to maintain and uphold the tradition of excellence that Fountain Plating is known for. Laurence R. Fountain, Chairman of the Board
