About Glenn D. Hauser
Glenn Hauser is a U.S. Army veteran and former Combat Engineer with the 588th Engineer Battalion at Fort Polk, Louisiana. The values I developed in the military -precision, discipline, and mission-focused execution, have guided my work throughout my coatings career spanning more than 40 years.
I have served the industry in multiple capacities, including painter, paint foreman, contractor, business owner, and technical service professional. I spent over two decades in the Technical Service Department of a major paint manufacturer, where I led failure investigations, supervised compatibility testing, managed the technical service lab, and provided technical guidance for repair strategies.
For the past 20 years, I have conducted numerous coating failure analyses, helping clients navigate complex issues with practical, experience-driven solutions. My work is rooted in deep field knowledge and a commitment to doing things right the first time.
I'm an instructor for the AMPP Coating Inspector Program (CIP), where I help train the next generation of coating professionals. My diverse background gives me a unique perspective that bridges application, inspection, and technical support.
I'm an active member of the Association for Materials Protection and Performance (AMPP), serving as a voting member on several technical committees. I was also a long-time member of both NACE and SSPC before their merger in 2020 into AMPP.
In addition, I serve on the Material Performance Magazine Technical Advisory Board, the industry's leading publication.
With a career built on expertise, integrity, and service, Glenn D. Hauser remains a trusted and respected figure in the protective coatings field.
