Scott Coon joins Renegade as Director of Sales and Technical Solutions, a role built around one reality: Switching coated fabrics is hard. It changes weld settings, sewing behavior, field durability, and customer expectations. Most fabricators know their current material’s quirks. They’ve dialed in their equipment and processes. Asking them to switch without support is asking them to bet their production line on a guess.
Scott exists to eliminate that guesswork.
Three Decades of Experience, From R&D to the Shop Floor
Scott has spent over 30 years in the design and fabrication of textile-based products. He’s worked in product and material R&D in the outdoor industry, developing gear that has to perform in conditions where failure isn’t an option. He’s managed a custom design, cut, and sew business, where he learned what fabricators actually need from their material suppliers. He’s worked in the tensioned fabric building industry, where structural performance and long-term durability determine whether a project succeeds or fails.
That range matters. Scott has sat on both sides of the table. He’s been the person developing materials and the person building finished goods. He understands the gap between what a spec sheet promises and what actually happens when fabric hits the floor.
His focus throughout: Helping customers create purpose-fit solutions for unique applications. Not selling products, but solving problems.
Why This Matters for the Industry
The coated textile market is shifting. Retailer restricted substance lists are tightening. PFAS regulations are expanding. Customers are asking for lighter, cleaner, more sustainable materials. Fabricators who built their businesses on PVC are watching the regulatory walls close in.
But switching materials has always been risky. The incumbent, PVC-coated polyester, has decades of supply chain optimization, known failure modes, and equipment calibrated to its quirks. Nobody gets credit for a successful material switch. Everyone gets blamed for a failed one.
That asymmetry keeps fabricators stuck, even when they know a better option exists.
Scott’s job is to change that math. By providing the technical support, prototyping structure, and field validation that fabricators need, he makes the switch from PVC to Renegade PP a managed process instead of a gamble.
For owner-operators running fabrication shops, this is personal. These are the customers who move fast when they see an opportunity, who care about differentiation, who want to offer something their competitors can’t. Scott speaks their language because he’s lived their reality.
