Strong technological background across all major polyolefins (HD, LL, PP), processes (gas, slurry, solution) and catalysis (Ziegler, Cr, Metallocene), from smallest HTE scale through bench, pilot & semi-works to the rewarding finish line of commercial implementation. Major activities across the value chain spanning R&D, technology management, licensing in/out, catalyst / polyolefin production, marketing and TS&D to most common application / converting techniques all the way to packaging design at brandowner level. Important delivery track record of commercialization several novel catalyst platforms and products resulting in bottomline annual turnover of M’s $.
