What We Evaluate

Materials knowledge. Process knowledge. Commercial strength.

Plastics experience is not interchangeable. Selling engineered resin is different from developing a custom molding program or supporting a film converter. We look beyond titles to understand the materials, applications and production environments someone knows.

01

Material experience

Which resins, compounds and engineered plastics have they sold, specified, processed or supported?

02

Process knowledge

Do they understand compounding, extrusion, injection molding, film production and the requirements behind finished parts?

03

Customer relationships

Have they worked with OEMs, molders, extruders, converters, distributors, purchasing teams or design engineers?

04

Commercial strength

Can they connect material performance, application requirements and production capabilities to lasting customer value?
