Wade Hickam to Join Col-Met EFS as Co-Owner

Posted on Friday, October 19, 2018


"I am pleased to announce that Wade Hickam has joined Col-Met as a Co-Owner. Wade will work with myself and the entire Col-Met team in providing direction as it relates to further improving our distributor partner relationships, developing and implementing new Col-Met products, implementing additional marketing programs, improving operational efficiency, and spearheading other strategic growth initiatives.”    

- Eric Jones, Founder and CEO.


Wade has a long history of successfully managing/growing finishing related businesses over his 30+ years in the industry. He spent 17 years at ITW Finishing, now known as Carlisle Fluid Technologies, as the General Manager of several of their business units before deciding to leave the public corporation world in 2003 to own and manage C&C Industrial Sales (CCIS) for the next 13 years. After growing the CCIS business into one of the largest finishing distributors in North America, he sold this business to OTP Industrial Solutions at the end of 2016.

Please join Col-Met in welcoming Wade to the team. As always, Col-Met looks forward to continue working with our industry partners to grow and improve the finishing industry and thank all involved in helping Col-Met succeed since the formation of the company in 1997.
