Corporate Research Process Laboratory
3Mer since 1979
The capabilities of 3M's research and development labs are very powerful in helping 3M grow. The labs are aligned well with 3M business units and with customer needs. This allows us to clearly contribute to the growth of the company. It's truly exciting to be working for 3M and looking ahead.
In my current position, I manage the Corporate Research Process Laboratory, one of 3M's four corporate R&D labs. We focus on developing process technology needed to manufacture products of the future.
Breadth of technology
The diversity of the people I work with every day-their knowledge, skills and capabilities-makes 3M an energizing place to work. The breadth of technology that we can bring to bear on the markets we serve is remarkable. As are the career possibilities. For employees who take the initiative and prepare themselves for what's next, the sky is the limit.
Valuable and diverse experiences
Since my early days at 3M I've been involved with manufacturing processes and engineering technology used in 3M's tape and adhesives, automotive and optical film businesses. My engineering skills and training have been put to good use.
One of the highlights of my career has been the opportunity to head the tape and adhesives lab in France for two years. Another unique and valuable experience was a recent two-year assignment as a Six Sigma Master Black Belt for Corporate Research and Development.
A great fit
3M has been a great fit for me because of the variety of products, technology and businesses providing me diverse experiences. The company's support of my professional and personal interests and goals has been fantastic. It's a great place to build a career.
