Process |
An outstanding leader of the plastics industry in the U.S. from 1942 until his untimely death in 1977. His extraordinary efforts and devotion to development of glass reinforcement processes and applications did much to make the plastics fiberglass industry a major segment of the plastics industry today.
He joined Owens-Corning Fiberglas Corp. in 1942 as the company's first manager of research and development for reinforced plastics, and became involved in the early development of fibrous glass products and processes. From 1955 to 1964, he served as market development manager and new end-use sales manager for reinforced plastics. From 1964 to 1971, he was manager of fiberglass-reinforced market development and sales to the appliance and equipment markets. He effectively pioneered many of the applications that are in production today, and he pursued new end uses, causing many of the materials, processes, and tooling changes that are standard now.
In 1972, he served as manager of plastics industry relations for the textile and industrial operating divisions. He was responsible for liaison with industry associations in the development of fire, safety, and health standards as well as environmental control activities.
