Bakken Directory Spring 2014: Painting and coating specialist joins Abrasives

Abrasives Inc. is pleased to welcome Cliff Schaan to their customer relations team serving North Dakota. With more than 33 years of industrial painting and coating in the field, North Dakota native Schaan is no stranger to issues on the job site. If there is a question about how to tackle a project, rest assured, he has been in the same position and knows a thing or two about how to get the job done in spite of the challenges.

As Abrasives Inc. grows and changes to meet the unique needs of western North Dakota, Schaan brings his wide knowledge base and more than three decades of experience with him to Abrasives. His career began as an apprentice, and then he gained hands on experience as a journeyman painter and ultimately earned the position of division manager at Swanson & Youngdale in Beulah, N.D., before joining the Abrasive team.

Schaan is excited to help other coating professionals troubleshoot and find a better way to complete projects.

An employee-owned corporation, Abrasives Inc. is home to Black Magic “The Tough Stuff” coal slag, a blast-cleaning favorite throughout the United States and Canada.

Abrasives is also home to Dakota Gold silica sand and distributes a full line of blast material including Starblast, steel shot and grit, garnet, aluminum oxide, soda and custom orders. In addition, Abrasives is an authorized Clemco, RKI and Graco distributor and service center.
