MFG Chemical, a specialty contract  chemical manufacturer, hired Dr. George Graham as VP-operations, responsible for MFG’s three plants in the Dalton, GA area and the 27-acre plant in Pasadena, TX. Graham joins MFG Chemical after a 25-year career, having most recently served as director of operations at Wacker Polysilicon, with increasingly responsible engineering, workforce training and business development roles. 
 
“MFG Chemical is fortunate to have such a highly credentialed engineering professional and experienced operations and business leader as George Graham,” said Paul Turgeon, president & CEO of MFG Chemical. “George will build on the great work of his new team, to ensure that plant safety, product quality, customer confidentiality and sustainability remain the hallmarks of MFG Chemical as we move into our next phase of growth.”
 
Graham holds a PhD in mechanical engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology (GIT). He also earned an MS and BS in mechanical engineering from GIT and Tennessee Technology University, respectively.
 
“I very happy and proud to join this great MFG Chemical team,” said Graham. My predecessor has left things in great shape, having achieved a perfect safety record, achieving ISO 9001: 2015 Certifications on all four MFG plants, earning numerous SOCMA Plant Safety and Plant Improvement Awards, completing the recent  upgrade of the Pasadena, TX plant and  having taken us well into the upgrading of our three Dalton, GA plants under Project Odyssey. My challenge will be to maintain that great record of plant safety and quality, while meeting our customers’ increasing needs and the new demands presented by future growth.”
