The President of Intercontinental Export-Import, Inc., Dr. Saurabh Naik, received his first Bachelor’s Degree in Chemistry and his second Bachelor’s Degree in Plastics Technology from the University Department of Technology in Mumbai, India. He received his M.S. in Chemical Engineering from Ranselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York.
His love for polymer chemistry prompted him to return to school at the University of Massachusetts to study for and receive a Ph.D. in a joint Polymer Chemistry/ Plastics Engineering program. His research topic was based on the study of aspect ratio of different fillers such as glass fiber, mica, wollastonite, calcium carbonate, etc., in various polymer mediums.
He then joined Martin Marietta Chemicals as their Technical manager to develop a market for mica as a reinforcing filler in plastics, with the main focus being the automotive parts industry. During his three years at Martin Marietta Chemicals, he helped actively develop several formulations in polypropylene, nylon and PBT using flexural modulus and low warpage as key marketing points.
From Martin Marietta, he moved on to the Nevamar Corporation as Technical manager to assist in the development of a kitchen countertop product based on unsaturated polyester and aluminum trihydrate.
In 1987, he became aware of a number of possibilities in the plastic recycling business, which at that time was still in its infant stages.
Dr. Saurabh Naik has always placed a great deal of emphasis on bringing TECHNICAL manpower into the NGI organization. He foresees a potential for future growth of the company in "difficult to deal with" products such as adhesives, printing ink, polymer emulsions, thermoset resins, solvents, pigments and many other products.
Intercontinental Export-Import, Inc. (IEI) was then formed to purchase and sell recyclable post-industrial plastic scrap.
