US Extruders Hires Two New Engineers

US Extruders has added Felix Carpio and Jeffrey Kimmerlein to its engineering team. With diverse backgrounds and valuable experience, both engineers bring fresh perspectives and technical expertise to the organization.

Joining US Extruders as a mechanical design engineer, Kimmerlein previously worked as a mechanical engineer at Toray Plastics (America) Inc. in Quonset, R.I., where he was responsible for the installation, maintenance, and design of industrial machinery across production lines. His background includes an education in mechanical engineering from the University of Rhode Island, complemented by a bachelor of arts degree in German through the university’s German International Engineering Program. With more than two years of hands-on experience in fluid mechanics, tribology, and machine design, Kimmerlein also brings strong communication and technical writing skills to his new role.

An emerging talent in plastics engineering, Carpio currently is completing his degree at the University of Massachusetts Lowell. A recipient of the “Department Service Award” for exceptional contributions to the university’s Plastics Engineering department and the first recipient of the Greg Sydney Scholarship, Carpio is committed to advancing in his field. His academic achievements are matched by a hands-on approach honed through years of advocacy and leadership at Northern Essex Community College, where he served as an orientation leader and student advocate. With a strong interest in developing technologies and research, Carpio is poised to bring fresh energy and innovation to US Extruders, company officials claim.

“We’re thrilled to welcome Felix and Jeff to our engineering team,” said Tom Sullivan, manager of Engineering and Operations at US Extruders. “Their unique skills, dedication, and passion for innovation align perfectly with our mission to deliver top-quality extrusion solutions that meet the evolving demands of our customers.”

US Extruders services the tubing, pipe, profile, reclaim, film, sheet, medical, wire and cable, and compounding industries by producing extruders ranging from 0.5 to 8 inch barrel diameters.
