  • Ensure compliance with customer specs, food-contact regulations (FDA, EU), and ISO / GMP standards.
  • Continuous Improvement & KPIs
  • Lead Lean / Six Sigma initiatives to reduce scrap, energy usage, and changeover time.

  • 3+ years of blown film extrusion experience (mono & multi-layer).
  • Strong knowledge of polymer rheology, extrusion parameters, and film performance.
  • Proficiency in SPC, DOE, Minitab (or similar), and process control systems.
