Written by Kim Casineau, President, The Coating House
At The Coating House, we are proud of the products we deliver, but what truly sets us apart is our people and their commitment to both professional growth and community involvement.
Our General Manager, Harley, embodies this spirit. Since day one, Harley has approached every challenge with dedication, insight, and initiative. We believe leadership is a journey of continuous growth, learning, and self-reflection. At The Coating House, we actively encourage and invest in our team. When we recognized Harley’s passion for development, we were thrilled to support him, fostering a culture where learning and leadership flourish.
This spring, Harley Kata completed the 2025 Leadership Institute through the Springfield Regional Chamber at Western New England University. This program unites rising leaders from Western Massachusetts to strengthen their management abilities, expand their understanding of community leadership, and build lasting professional relationships. It’s a rigorous, respected, and invaluable experience for participants and the organizations they lead.
Please join me in congratulating Harley on this important milestone. We can’t wait to see what his next chapter of leadership brings, not only to The Coating House, but to our community.
