Ben Ellis is our first award winner for the Outstanding Young Injection Molding Engineer Award (OYIME). He has an impressive resume and comes highly recommended by fellow employees at Beaumont, as well as outside customers. He started his interest in injection molding when he was a sophomore in high school. His school received CAD/CAM software, a CNC mill, and a table top injection molding machine. Being one of the first classes to use this equipment gave Ben hands on experience. He attended Penn State Behrend for Plastics Engineering Technology. While in school he worked as an intern for Plastic Services Network. He graduated in 2010 and took a job at York Imperial Plastics, where he spent time designing and implementing end of arm tools, managing press and equipment maintenance in addition to his official title of process engineer. After a few years he was offered a position at Beaumont Advanced Processing. He has worked to develop Thermaflo
(Beaumont’s patented material characterization method) and has expanded his role to prototyping and helping to acquire ISO Class 8 cleanroom certificates. Congratulations, Ben!
