Franklin E. Squires
Marking about 60 years of aggregate industry service, Frank Squires is a leading expert worldwide in the field of washing and classifying technologies.
As an innovator, Squires is credited with five patents as a co-inventor of next-level control systems for single and multiple classifying tank systems. After graduating from Des Moines Technical High School in 1957, Squires began his career as a draftsman for Eagle Iron Works.
Ultimately, his straightforward, solution-oriented style of analyzing aggregate processing operations led to more than four decades of washing and classifying applications, engineering and sales management leadership. Over a 20-year period, Squires was a key player in the success of GreyStone, where he was appointed as its vice president of sales and dealer relations until 2014.
Squires currently serves as aggregate specialist for the Washing & Classifying Division of Superior Industries. Even after 59 years in the industry, Squires still spends a good deal of time on the road and in quarries as the “go-to guy” for the toughest washing and classifying applications.
