This is where my mind is after your post. Its pointing to one of our directors and his professional resume. Magnum should stand out like a sore thumb and become a major player in this market once production commences. This Dr. Mennig of Magnum is world known. He's published more than 200 research papers in national and international journals/proceedings and is the editor of the books "Wear in Plastics Processing" and "Mold Making Handbook"

~About Dr Mennig
On July 3, 2007, the board of directors of the Company appointed Dr.-Ing. Gunter Mennig to be a director. G. Mennig stems from the South of Germany where he was born in 1939 and where he did his schooling. In 1964 he graduated in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Stuttgart (Technische Hochschule Stuttgart) where he also obtained a PhD under the guidance of Prof. G. Schenkel.

From 1970 until 1973 he worked in India as an Associate Professor at the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, establishing Plastics Processing in the Chemical Engineer Department. At that time he joined the (then) Plastics Institute, London, and served as Vice-Chairman of Madras Centre. After his return to Germany he became Head of the Plastics Engineering Section at the German Plastics Institute (Deutsches Kunststoff-Institut, DKI) in Darmstadt and later it's Deputy Director. In addition he was a professor at the University of Darmstadt.

In 1994 he took the chair of Plastics Processing at the University of Chemnitz (Technische Universitat Chemnitz), where he also served as Dean of Study Affaires of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering. After formal retirement he continues as a member of the working group on plastics engineering on a regular employment base with Chemnitz University of Technology.

In 1973, Dr.-Ing. Gunter Mennig was given the award for "Best publication in Plastics & Polymers" by Plastics and Rubber Institute (PRI), London. He is a member of a number of professional societies and was until 1996 one of the two national examiners in the field of plastics for the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG).

He has published more than 200 research papers in national and international journals/proceedings and is the editor of the books "Wear in Plastics Processing" and "Mold Making Handbook", both of which have been published in English and German and the latter one recently in China in Mandarin. In addition he has guided about 25 PhDs and was involved in another 30 as an external examiner.
