About The Position

ABRO Industries is seeking a motivated, analytical recent college graduate to join our South Bend team as a Product Coordinator focused on formulation, performance, compliance, and market strategy. This role is ideal for someone who wants to build a career managing products end-to-end, understanding how they're formulated, how they perform against the competition, how they meet regulatory and safety requirements, and how they get from quote to cash with our sales teams. You'll work directly with our automotive, hardware, and household chemical product lines, gaining exposure to the full product lifecycle rather than a single specialty. Product compliance and safety are an important part of the role and part of a broader product coordination mandate.
