SPE looking for new managing director

The Society of Plastics Engineers (SPE) is searching for a new managing director.

According to a statement from Newtown, Conn.-based SPE, the new managing director will combine tasks of the current commercial director and the current managing director, who are both retiring soon. Based at the SPE headquarters office (which will soon be relocated from Newtown to Danbury, Conn.), the new managing director will focus on the North American operations of SPE and report to SPE’s international CEO, Willem De Vos.

“The new managing director will play a key role in SPE’s strategy of reaching out more effectively to a vast North American audience of young industry people who stand to benefit from what our organization has to offer,” De Vos said in the statement. “SPE’s operations have been improved substantially over the last year, but more investments in new technologies are needed in the coming period.”
