Improving Efficiency and Quality with Closed Molding Techniques

Charles Tur began his career in the composites industry over 20 years ago and in that time has built a reputation as an expert in the technology of resin transfer molding (RTM) and infusion. After years of owning and operating his own composites company, Charles made the move to head up the technical support and sales for Chomarat, a French-based company that manufactures glass weaves. During his six years there, Charles did over 300 presentations in 30 countries on the light RTM process and was involved in the development of new product implementation such as Rovidécor, Rovifoam, Roviplast and more. In 2005, Charles decided to strike out on his own and become and independent consultant available to train designers, mold makers and production personnel in the process of closed mold production. As Ardeche Composites Consulting, his services included technical follow-up, initial feasibility studies, methods for optimizing production, training and more. During this time, he also continued to survey the development of new processes that would improve his client's production methods. In 2007, Charles took on a new challenge and started with MVP as its closed molding specialist. Bringing his years of knowledge and experience, Charles now leads consultation, planning, installation, training and problem solving for customers at their facilities.
