Duncan C. English ’00 and Gerald Zakim ’51
Summer 2005
Though
50 years separate these ceramic engineering experts, they’re
both involved in setting standards for the industry. Duncan English (left)
of Woodbridge, N.J., is quality assurance manager for Certech Inc. facilities
in New Jersey and Ohio, a leading manufacturer of injection molded ceramics
for the investment casting industry. Previously he was technical director
of product standards and laboratory services with the Tile Council of
America.
Gerald Zakim of Wayne, N.J., is the owner of a consulting firm in construction,
health and safety, materials and litigation support. He holds several
patents and has lectured throughout the country on waterproofing, tile,
marble, setting materials and similar topics. He’s a participating
member of the construction panel of the American Arbitration Association
and of the construction forum of the American Bar Association. He’s
pictured with Duncan at a recent American Society for Testing and Materials
meeting to develop standards for slips and falls.
