Primarily focused on innovations and improvements in GEC equipment and processes.

• In blow molding, covers areas such as extrusion systems, flow heads, aseptic systems, trimmers, & processing developments.
• Support molding trials.
• Mold and material developments.
• In G2RP Pultrusion, covers area such as formulations, die design, processing and profile shape optimization.

Development Engineering
The design, development, and commercialization of blow molding equipment and pultrusion profiles.

• This group can start with a “blank sheet of paper” and flesh out the complete concepts.
• As the design comes together, these engineers work with Mechanical and Electrical Engineering to move from concept to finished product.
