Follow on Google News | NewAge(R) Industries Makes Significant Investment Into Engineering Team To Maintain Its EdgeOver the past several months, tubing manufacturer NewAge Industries expanded its engineering team with Design and Test Engineers, Mechanical Engineers, an Engineering Project Manager and an Applications Engineer with a PhD in Plastics Engineering.
By: NewAge Industries, Inc. NewAge has always promoted its ability to provide engineering assistance. It offers many customized products, such as hose assemblies, O.D. treatments, colors, and custom compounds for enhanced performance such as low temperature flexibility and anti-static properties. But the company was interested in strengthening its technical expertise regarding processes, equipment and the latest product testing options available. NewAge has now increased its engineering abilities considerably with the aim of providing better and faster services to its customers. Within the last several months the firm has hired additional team members dedicated to engineering functions. Job titles include Design and Test Engineers, Mechanical Engineers, an Engineering Project Manager and an Applications Engineer who holds a PhD in Plastics Engineering. The combined engineering experience of these newer employees totals over 100 years. Their backgrounds include work involving industrial engineering, biomedical products, manufacturing, thermoplastics and thermoset materials. Members of the team hold ASQ (American Society for Quality) certifications such as Lean Six Sigma Green Belt. As a result of this team expansion, NewAge is now capable of performing the following: - Package puncture, tear and integrity testing - Tensile testing - Test protocol design - Pump life testing - Statistical data collection and analysis - Elevated increased temperature testing - Product Development capabilities - Quicker prototyping The company also offers outside testing for sterility, validations and physical properties concerning the hardness or softness of materials, dimensions and mechanical data. The Engineering Team can offer fluid flow assembly solutions and help guide inventors and designers from idea and concept through to testing and production. The team uses the robust and efficient Stage-Gate(R) Previously the company’s engineering support consisted mainly of material recommendations, help with flow process models, hose assembly pressure testing, and the development of custom extrusion runs. Why did NewAge take this step to increase its staff and expand its engineering capabilities? The company recognized that product designs, especially those in biopharma, were getting more complex. As the company continued to grow its sales volume, the existing staff was challenged to handle the influx of requests for customer assistance. In order to remain a sought-after and respected partner and supplier, the solution was easy: employ additional qualified people. NewAge sees this as a key step in continuing to grow its business.
