Director: Trent Ward
Trent trained as a mechanical engineer and joined Petlon Polymers in 1982. For the majority of his career he was involved in the technical development of the business, particularly with the PET and PA processing.
During the eighties and nineties, Petlon was compounding Prime coloured PET concentrates for ICI in their Melinar bottle polymer business. This was very much cutting edge PET development at the time, with ICI being the market leaders.
Trent was trained in all aspects of PET technology by the technicians at their laboratories in Wilton, Teeside. He has an outstanding technical background in handling and processing of PET. He left Petlon in 2016.
