PrimaLoft adds to tech leadership team
Materials developer PrimaLoft has appointed Manish Jain to the role of senior vice president for technology and development, the New York-based company announced recently.
Mr Jain, whom PrimaLoft described as a well-rounded and accomplished product development executive, will replace Vanessa Mason, currently senior vice president of engineering, upon her retirement later this year.
The firm's latest high-level recruit most recently served as vice president for research and development (R&D) and technology for Crane Currency, it added, following a period as head of material science and process technologies at Albany International Corp.
President and chief executive, Mike Joyce, commented: “Manish comes to use with decades of experience and accomplishments in fibre technology. His background in advanced materials and expansive knowledge of polymer processes, combined with his extensive management experience, makes him an ideal fit to continue our company’s technological development.”
