Pinneberg/Germany, March 13th, 2015 – ROMIRA is growing and growing due to geographical expansion and the development of both existing and completely new applications. On the basis of this realisation, the R&D team was systematically expanded with further competences last year: Alexander Exner, Frauke Harpen and Dr. Milena Pöhlmann are now reinforcing the team around Dr. Jianmin Ding and Dr. Daniela Tomova, who have been working at ROMIRA since 2001 and 2005, respectively. Due to international growth, the requirements facing ROMIRA are also increasing. Release procedures, in particular, are becoming more multi-faceted and complex. At the same time, it is very important to show regional presence and to offer customers technical on-site support. Whether it is a matter of continuing and retaining existing applications, improving particular technical and functional material properties or opening up new application fields: ROMIRA will always remain a reliable contact partner for its customers!
Bundling expert knowledge at ROMIRA is the key to the company’s success and essential for its growth – not only on the German market, but also worldwide.
The new team members in detail:
Dipl-Chem Alexander Exner (32) is currently doing his doctorate at the University of Bayreuth, focusing on the synthesis and application potentials of block copolymers based on polyisoprene and polyethylene oxide with tailored properties. ROMIRA benefits from his in-depth knowledge in polymer chemistry, particularly in the fields of development and process engineering.
Dipl.-Chem. Frauke Harpen (31) is also just about to complete her doctorate, which concerns the fabrication and characterisation of polyurethane-based nanocomposites. At ROMIRA, she is expanding her technical expertise not only in the development of engineering plastics but also in their colouration. Thanks to her communication skills, Frauke Harpen will also be acting as the contact partner for ROWA Inc., USA.
Dr-Ing. Milena Pöhlmann (42), an engineer who received her doctorate at the Leibniz Institute of Polymer Research in Dresden, has 20 years of experience in plastics – from synthesis to compounding to their processing by injection moulding. For the past seven years she has been focussing on the development of polyamide compounds, application engineering and customer support at large chemical companies. Thanks to her broad range of skills, Milena Pöhlmann will be expanding the ROMIRA team as a developer to explore new applications.
