Consultant servicing the Carbon Fibers Industry. Two separate contracts involving sourcing of feedstock for new businesses involved in Reclaiming and Recycling of Carbon Fiber.

Established and nurtured the development of new advanced products for out-of-autoclave processing of carbon fiber prepregs specifically designed for use in General Aviation applications. Ensured competitive advantage and very strong barriers to market entry by using Toray's patented fabric and resin technology. The products were at the forefront of technology and during the early 2000's, most new entrepreneurial aircraft producers used Toray materials to produce primary aircraft structures. The products are still sold and in use today.The job involved working with Toray's Technical Service engineers, customer's business owners and workforce alike to ensure ease of use of the materials on the shop floor. A key marketing objective was to work with the FAA to obtain approved design allowable values for the materials. Considerable "internal selling" was required initially in order to obtain sufficient funding for the project.

Evaluated technology acquired by American Laminators to reinforce laminated wooden beams (Glulams) with advanced composite materials. Commissioned and used specialist equipment to test full-size beams as part of product QA process.
