In April, Coating Services Inc., one of three affiliate companies of The Foust Group, was awarded a first place Safety Excellence Award from the Greater Baton Rouge Industry Alliance in the Special Trade (Soft Craft, division one) category.
The award is just one indicator of how, under founder and CEO Todd Foust’s leadership, the company has been able to considerably expand its footprint over the past decade while still maintaining product excellence and employee safety.
