Wooster taps Gray to lead R&D department

Anti-slip safety stair treads and walkway product manufacturer Wooster Products has added Matt Gray as its new Research & Development, and Quality Control Manager.
“We’re excited to have Matt leading Wooster’s R & D program,” said Wooster President Poonam Arora Harvey.  “His graduate work in photovoltaics dovetails nicely with our photoluminescent technology. Enhancing the industry’s only glow-in-the-dark egress safety stairs with abrasives integrated in the photoluminescent strip will certainly benefit our customers and channel partners.”

Gray is a PhD Graduate of The Ohio State University Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry and has extensive experience in synthetic materials chemistry and powder diffraction.
As the manager of R & D, Dr. Gray leads the effort to improve existing products within the Wooster Products family and develop new ones to address customer needs.  As the head of Quality Control, he oversees testing to verify that products meet the company’s strict guidelines as well as regulatory requirements.
