Jeco Plastics CEO to Speak on Competitiveness at Congressional Briefing
Carson was selected because of his work with Purdue University and the National Digital Engineering and Manufacturing Consortium—a public-private partnership encouraging the transfer of advanced manufacturing techniques and processes that leverage computational power, simulation, and cutting-edge modeling techniques to smaller manufacturers. Jeco recently participated in the program to analyze stresses and strengths in a plastic pallet being developed for a European manufacturer.
Commenting on the briefing, Carson said, “Our work with Purdue University and NDEMC puts powerful tools in our hands and enables Jeco, a relatively small company, to differentiate ourselves and demonstrate that our plastic products are in many cases superior to those made of metal. Jeco plastic pallets are stronger and last significantly longer than wooden pallets. They are much lighter in weight than metal pallets, and can be designed to hold much larger loads that would seem possible.
