The People Who Work Here: Scott Dunigan, President, A Brite Company

If it’s been printed or published on line, chances are Scott Dunigan has read it. A leading expert in the metal finishing industry, Scott knows how to keep up and overcome obstacles.

“While most of our industry experience here at A Brite comes from being in the ‘trenches’ and learning mostly from the line,” Scott said. “Because we have to be certified to be credible, we have to read a lot of material,” he said.

Scott is A Brite’s president. A Brite Company is the leader in the metal finishing industry for process chemistry, equipment and laboratory services, A Brite is based in Garland, Texas.

With a BS degree from the University of Texas in Micropaleontology, Scott is more than well read, he’s a life-long student. The minor in Chemistry doesn’t do any harm, either.

“I’ve had the good fortune of having worked as a line supervisor, in the lab doing quality control (QC) and analysis and having been a field troubleshooter for many years,” Scott said. “These experiences have prepared me well for being the source of information I am today.” Scott is one of A Brite’s finishing experts. And he is a firm believer that most problems can be found in the pretreatment areas of any line.

“Ninety-five percent of problems on any line can be traced back to the pre-treatment areas,” Scott said. “You have to be a good detective to get there, but experience tells us to start there.”

Scott is also a part of The Finishing Experts, a sister company providing on-demand expertise and consultancy services to the metal finishing industry.
