| Brian Ness - PlastiComp Representative, Military Market |
PlastiComp LLC is pleased to introduce its new Sales Representative, Brian Ness. Brian joined PlastiComp in 2007 to focus on the military sector. He brings his in-depth experience in developing applications for high-strength PlastiComp composites.
Brian’s knowledge of the military market stems from extensive training and experience. He served as an active-duty infantry medic in Iraq, Bosnia, and Kosovo and is currently a Staff Sergeant in the Minnesota National Guard. Brian combines his hands-on field gear experience with his academic background from Bemidji State University that focused on the science of emerging technology platforms.
Brian is instrumental in engineering designs of hardware critical to soldier safety. The designs are built on leveraging the high specific strengths and light-weight characteristics of PlastiComp composites when replacing metals.
“Our thermoplastic technology can offer significant improvements in military products that traditionally incorporated metal into their designs,” said Brian. “I enjoy innovating with customers and consulting with military personnel to produce stronger, lighter and all weather equipment for today’s fast paced military. As a result, PlastiComp is rapidly growing its applications portfolio in this area.”
Brian is currently based in Bemidji and supports PlastiComp customers in the great North Country. He is continuing his studies in technology education and emerging technology platforms. To contact Brian, call 507-250-4705 or email brian.ness@plasticomp.com. |
