Frank began his career in polymer additives as an analytical chemist over thirty years ago at the MA Hanna (now part of Avient) Corporate Technical Center in Coral Springs, Florida.

After designing the new analytical lab for the transfer of the Coral Springs, FL facility to Suwanee, GA and managing the analytical and development lab projects in Suwanee, he was offered the opportunity to manage the lab and pilot line at Bayshore Industrial in LaPorte, Texas.   For the past 23 years, he has worked for Clariant Corporation, with 16 years at Clariant Masterbatches (now Avient) in various developmental, technical service and managerial roles, and the last 7+ years with Clariant Additives in Business Development and Technical Services.

He has been enjoying the past few years re-uniting with old friends, colleagues and acquaintances, who are now clients, supporting Clariant’s Additives Group growth in several positions, with the latest being the Field Technical Specialist -Americas, along with his work with the Clariant teams in Europe and Asia, developing new products and finding new ways to improve polymer processing.  He is especially proud to be a part of Clariant’s introduction of new, non-food-competing, bio-derived, fully sustainable products, like Licocare® RBW Vita dispersion and flow modification products.
