It’s nice to see how much the company I’ve owned and operated for over 32 years has grown. We keep adding new staff to our team of designers, engineers, and sales teams — so much that we outgrew our space at our Doylestown, Pa. headquarters, and recently expanded our facilities.

But the newly leased space was a bit drab. So we hired Lynette Fries, a local artist who lives in Kintnersville, Pa., to give the place a splash of our global project images and color. She’s painting a beautiful mural, which depicts many of MATCOR’s key global corrosion projects.

I think her work is just the thing to help create an innovative workplace for our ever-expanding company. More important, having the chance to see great talent such as Lynette’s supports the local community and promotes the arts — a couple of my top priorities (in addition to saving the world and many of its treasures, one less corroded pipeline at a time!).

Just look at what Lynette has done so far to brighten our offices. She grew up in Warminster, but now makes Upper Bucks County her home. Lynette studied journalism at Temple University, and pursued several careers before finding her calling and joy with paints and creativity. Her work can also be found in children’s rooms, nurseries, and local business waiting areas.

She says she approaches each project by personalizing the images, and finding the right colors to meet each customer request. Well, we’re one satisfied customer, Lynette! Thank you again for your hard work, creativity, and enthusiasm!

Here’s a quick view of Lynette below. We’ll keep everyone updated on her progress, so be sure to check back for pictures of the finished project.

A car insurance company is an organization that provides cover on an automobile against any loss. This means that in case of any accident, the company will compensate any financial loss.

To do this, the companies adopt many strategies. They divide their customer base on the basis of multiple parameters. They offer attractive discounts to people who have a good driving history. Their point is to encourage better and safer driving. Customers with a poor driving record and, sometimes, bad credit history, are charged more and are put in a high risk category. Also, most of the companies offer discounts to students, senior citizens, people who have been with same company for long time and military personnel. For customers in active military duty, they have special policies.

A major cause of concern for car insurance companies is fraudulent claims. People report false accidents and losses to get money from their insurance companies. To check this, insurance companies have their own investigators. Also, they offer discounts to people who make very few or no claims. This is done to discourage people from filing claims for every small or big amount.
