On this episode, Mirko Mondan, CEO of Dorfner joins the podcast to discuss some significant developments taking place within their company. 

ACS International Products, a leading supplier of raw materials for the cast polymer, solid surface composites, epoxy flooring, and building materials industries, will officially transition to Dorfner USA by the end of this year. This transition marks an important milestone for the company, as Dorfner USA will further expand its’ operations across North America. 

The rebranding will enhance the company’s visibility and streamline service offerings to better meet customer needs globally. Key initiatives accompanying this change include:

We’ll be covering each of these with Mirko, and discussing in detail how AI is playing a huge part in product development and expansion.

On this episode, Mark Davidson joins me to talk about RAMPF’s Close Contour Technology.

Their system uses epoxy and polyurethane pastes and castings to create high-quality models and molds close to the final part’s shape. The technology has several benefits, including: 

Applications include design and styling models, molds, large-scale modeling, rotor blades, wind turbines, and boat models. You can learn more by visiting www.rampf-group.com. 

Also, if you’re attending CAMX next week, you can find them at booth L31.

On this episode, Jesse Henry, CEO of Heartland joins us to share some recent news. Chemovator, the business incubator of BASF, has successfully finalized an investment in their company.

Heartland is a material science company that provides manufacturers with a sustainable source of additives like fillers, reinforcements, & mineral extenders to enhance products they already make. They work with local farmers to produce natural fiber materials, enabling manufacturers to create more sustainable products. With this investment funding, Heartland becomes Chemovator’s first portfolio company in North America. Jesse will be sharing an update on Heartland, and what this investment means for their company moving forward.

On this episode, Mark Scott and Jake Rowen of Resodyn join me to discuss their RAM acoustic mixing technology. They are a global leader in mixing and processing solutions. 

Mixing is a key processing step in nearly every industry from lubricants to ceramics. Traditionally, mixing has been accomplished using motor-driven impellers, blades, and other engineered devices that rotate or agitate the ingredients. 

These methods, however, present several challenges including degradation of particles during mixing, non-uniform and inconsistent mix quality, and extended mixing times.

Fortunately, a new and innovative technology solves many of the problems that plague traditional mixers.

RAM combines the efficient power generation of resonance and the effects of sound energy to facilitate mixing – without the use of mechanical means within a mixing vessel.

Since 1994, Resodyn Corporation has built a legacy of facing tough global problems with disciplined science and engineering, spanning numerous fields of study.

Their innovative process and product design approach have turned many of those discoveries into commercial product successes.
