Solar Atmospheres President Joins ASM Board of Trustees



Roger Jones, Corporate President of Solar Atmospheres, was nominated as a trustee on the ASM International Board of Trustees effective October 2016. The board of ASM, The Materials Information Society, is comprised of four officers and nine trustees. Three new trustees are elected by the membership every year, and each serves a three-year term.

Jones attended Hocking Technical College where he studied heat processing technology. He has also taken selective metallurgical (MEI) courses from ASM and other technical organizations.

Jones joined ABAR Corporation until 1978, and he then started work at Vacuum Furnace Systems Corporation at its inception in 1978. Jones' primary duties included manufacturing vacuum heat treating and brazing furnaces, as well as hot zone installation and field service work.

In 1983, Jones assisted the founding of Solar Atmospheres, Inc. where he held the position of Vice President. He was promoted to President of Solar Atmospheres, Inc. in 1993. With the addition of Solar's Hermitage, PA, facility, Jones was then promoted to the position of Corporate President. In 1995, Jones established a strategic management team within Solar Atmospheres.

As a member of the Metal Treating Institute since 1983, Jones served as the Chairman of the Atlantic Coast Chapter in 1994. Jones has served as a Co-Chair of the Program Committee. He has been a member of the Board of Trustees since 1998 and was President of the Institute from 2004-2005. He was called back onto the Board in 2009 for a third term and completed that role in 2012.

Jones has been a member of ASM Philadelphia "Liberty Bell" Chapter since 1983 and has chaired nine committees within that time. He became his company's sustaining member representative in 1986. Jones was Philadelphia Chapter Chairman in 1993-1994. He was also an instructor for the chapter sponsored MEI courses.

At the ASM International level, Jones chaired and served on numerous committees, and was presented with local awards from the Philadelphia chapter.
