1987 – 1998 Spectrum Plastics Molding Resources

Ansonia, CT

1994 – 1998 Engineering Manager,

This was a key position in the company that was involved in all phases of company

activities from daily manufacturing issues to company procedures and policies.

- Involved in the local SPE chapter every month regarding an educational

assistance program.

- Also a member of the “Admission Advisory Committee” at the local technical

trade school (Emmet O’Brian vocational school) until leaving Connecticut in

1998.

Some of the detail responsibilities are listed below,

- Accountable for daily operations of both the Toolroom and Design

Engineering departments.

- Largest project was the design and build of (5) molds for the Gillette Mach III

program. Made weekly trips to Gillette for customer updates and technical

assistance on their production line.

- Quote tooling, automation, and auxiliary equipment required for new projects.

- Responsible for new projects from Design, thru the build phase, and finally the

development phase to hand off to production. New Tooling sales were around

$2.5MM per year (amounted to 30 new molds).

- Responsible for building of all new reel-to-reel systems. Average about 4-6

machines per year. This involves coordinating the manufacturing, assembly,

wiring, and programming. Approx cost per machine is $250,000 fully

programmed.

1993 – 1994 Design Supervisor,

- Gradually moving out of the Design Phase responsibility and more into an

overall Project responsibility.

order for design & build of new tooling. Lots of time was spent of redesigning

the product for manufacture with our customer.

- Continued Mold design as my main focus. The tools became increasingly more

difficult. Many types of specialty features were being required, such as lifters,

collapsible cores, hot runner systems, etc…

- More involvement with sub-contracting tooling to outside vendors. Although

we designed almost all of our own molds, we only built about 30%-40% of

them in the toolroom.

to standardize designs. Included the Standard Library of Components.

- Training of new employees on the CAD software and the “Design Standards

Book”
