Accomplishments
Though I have been with Benteler/Shiloh for 29 years for the past 8 years I have spent some time in Germany learning Prototype processes and inventory control. That knowledge transferred into a Durability/Testing coordinator for past 6 years. Most of the time has been focused on product development and cae correlation through MTS software.
