    Dennis and his team work with clients to take projects from “Concept to Commercialization”.  The first step is evaluating a project's fit at Bixby and then utilizing the fast, iterative Bixby Development Process to take the project through initial prototypes, scale up, and on to full-scale production.  Dennis has over 30 years of experience in the plastics industry with the bulk of those years driving new business development.  He began his career at Dow Chemical and then moved on to work for Merquinsa SA before finding his home at Bixby.  If you have a project, strategic partnership, or other business proposals to discuss, reach out to Dennis and schedule some time to dive into the details.
