Adam Meaux spends a lot of face time with RBP customers — providing technical expertise and lending product guidance in the field, both domestically and internationally. When a customer has a technical issue, Adam is the guy who can fix it. He also helps out with product installations and monitoring product performance onsite. Adam works extensively with R&D and Sales to identify and resolve customer issues, unearth new opportunities, develop marketing materials and pinpoint market gaps. Having formed many close customer relationships, Adam is an important communication liaison between RBP headquarters, its customers and sales force. Prior to his current role at RBP, Adam spent 4 ½ years as a product development chemist and was part of the team that developed the revolutionary Microstrip ONE — a fine line resist stripper that removes the most tenacious resists in printed circuit production. It turns resist into fine particles to ensure complete removal from areas with extremely narrow line spacing. Before joining RBP in 2006, Adam was a research technician at Great Lakes Water Research Institute. He has a Bachelor of Science degree with an emphasis in chemistry and biotechnology from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Adam is an active member of the IPC (Association Connecting Electronics Industries) and IMAPS (International Microelectronics and Packaging Society) and sits on several subcommittees regarding standards in circuit boards and printed electronics.
