Klaus-Alexander Rieder, Kumar Ranganathan Win 2014 Grace Award for Technical Excellence











Columbia, MD (PRWEB) December 16, 2014

W. R. Grace (NYSE: GRA) announces that Dr. Klaus-Alexander Rieder and Dr. Kumar Ranganathan of Grace Construction Products (GCP) are the recipients of the 2014 Grace Award for Technical Excellence (GATE) for their development of STRUX® – a series of novel synthetic macro fibers for reinforcing concrete.

Introduced by the Grace Research Council in 2007, GATE recognizes employees for technical achievement of the highest caliber that has resulted in the most significant commercial, societal, and industrial impact. The winning team or individual receives a $ 10,000 award, which will be presented by Grace Chairman and CEO Fred Festa.

“Alex and Kumar have led the STRUX® synthetic fiber for concrete technology platform with insight, courage, ingenuity, passion, and thoroughness,” said Dr. Josephine Cheung, 2014 GATE Selection Committee Chair, and winner of the 2011 GATE.

Dr. David Myers, Vice President of Technology and Marketing, Specialty Construction Chemicals, wrote in his nomination, “The concrete fiber research program led by Alex and Kumar has opened up an entirely new product category for the Concrete Products business at Grace, and has shown the industry a better way of building reinforced concrete structures, which can be less costly and more durable. The work has demonstrated, once again, Grace’s leadership in providing innovative new technology to the construction industry.”

Cheung said the selection committee was impressed by the creative and technically rigorous approach Alex and Kumar had taken in building this new technology platform. The technology has significant societal impact, extending the service life of structures and also lowering installation costs. To date, STRUX® has contributed more than $ 100 million in sales for Grace.    

Based in Cambridge, Mass. at the time, Rieder began working on the initial concept for this product shortly after he joined Grace in 1998. The objective was to create plastic fibers to selectively replace steel reinforcement in concrete. The world’s most widely used construction material, concrete requires steel reinforcement in structures such as bridges or buildings. This is not only expensive and labor-intensive, but also susceptible to corrosion.

The result of Rieder’s work was the prototype of STRUX®, a product that uses polyolefin fibers to replace steel concrete reinforcement in many applications. STRUX® provides the same level of concrete strength, is easy to mix, and is more cost-effective than steel or other rival technologies. Because traditional fibers easily tangle and form lumps, he designed bendable flat fibers which are more resistant to entanglement. Later, when the market demanded even higher reinforcement power, he created another distinctive fiber with a unique 3-dimensional shape, which further increased the bond between the fiber and the concrete.

Because of the unique design of these novel fibers, there were a host of engineering challenges to overcome in the manufacturing process. Ranganathan, a Senior R&D Engineer with GCP in Cambridge, Mass., defined the manufacturing parameters needed for producing the novel fibers on a commercial scale and designed the special steel rollers required to make the 3-dimensional, bi-tapered fibers.

Ranganathan and Rieder, who is now a global technical manager based in Lügde, Germany, are co-inventors on numerous patents granted to Grace related to reinforcing fibers sold under the STRUX® trade name, their use in concrete, and the manufacturing process.

Past recipients of the GATE were honored for developing the Synchro® 1000 cement additive that protects the environment through chromium reduction; a “Particle Nucleation and Growth Model,” an effective tool for new product development and process optimization; fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) catalysts that reduce the impact of metals during the processing of crude oil; the Reveleris® flash chromatography system that integrates light scattering detection with traditional UV-based purification to improve recovery/purity of new drug candidates; and the ESE® cement additive that increases the strength development of cement.

About Grace

Built on talent, technology, and trust, Grace is a leading global supplier of catalysts; engineered and packaging materials; and specialty construction chemicals and building materials. The company’s three industry-leading business segments—Grace Catalysts Technologies, Grace Materials Technologies, and Grace Construction Products—provide innovative products, technologies, and services that improve the products and processes of customer partners in over 155 countries around the world.

Digital People Wins Inavero’s 2014 Best of Staffing Talent Award












Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) February 21, 2014

Digital People, an Atterro company, announced today it has been named as one of Inavero’s 2014 Best of Staffing® Talent Award winners. Presented in partnership with CareerBuilder, the fifth annual Best of Staffing Award provides the only statistically valid and objective service quality benchmarks for the industry and reveals which staffing agencies are delivering the highest satisfaction to the permanent and temporary employees for whom they find jobs. Yet again, this year’s award outcome highlights a growing divide among the industry’s leaders and laggards, and identifies Digital People as one of the best staffing agencies for job candidates to call when they are in need of employment.

Less than two percent of all staffing agencies in North America receive the Best of Staffing Award for service excellence. Utilizing the Net Promoter® methodology, the 2014 Best of Staffing Talent winners achieved satisfaction scores nearly double the industry average. This contrast in scores is a clear indication that the firms who have earned the 2014 Best of Staffing Talent Award truly stand out for their service quality. Digital People received satisfaction ratings of 9 or 10 out of 10 from 73 percent of their permanent and temporary employees, significantly higher than the industry’s average of 53% percent.

“Less than 2% of staffing firms in the U.S. and Canada have been named to the Best of Staffing List for Talent Satisfaction, it’s so great to see that our dedication and commitment to talent is recognized.” says Susan Rylance, Sr. Vice President of Digital People. Atterro CEO, Clay Morel said, “This is an example of what happens when you assemble a team of dedicated people, that are focused on quality, and servicing our clients and our talent.”

“The staffing industry is helping organizations bridge the skills gap and add jobs today more than at any other point in U.S. history,” said Inavero Founder and CEO, Eric Gregg. “Between the well documented skills gaps and economic uncertainty, partnering with a top staffing agency is more important now than ever. The 2014 Best of Staffing Award was earned by fewer than 2% of the more than 12,000 staffing firms in the U.S. and Canada. In an era of scarce qualified talent, hard to fill positions, and ever-increasing expectations, these firms have proven they have what it takes to deliver exceptional service to both clients and job candidates. We’re proud of the accomplishments of our 2014 award recipients.”

®Net Promoter, NPS, and Net Promoter Score are trademarks of Satmetrix Systems, Inc., Bain & Company, and Fred Reichheld. Net Promoter Score is calculated by taking the percentage of respondents who, on a scale of 0 to 10, rate their likelihood to recommend the staffing agency with a score of 9 or 10 (promoters) and subtracting the percentage who rate the staffing agency a 6 or lower (detractors).

About Inavero

Inavero administers more staffing agency client and talent satisfaction surveys than any other firm in the world. Inavero’s team reports on satisfaction surveys from more than 500,000 staffing agency clients and talent each year and the company serves as the American Staffing Association’s exclusive service quality partner.

Inavero’s Best of Staffing® is the nation’s only award that recognizes staffing agencies that receive remarkable reviews from their clients and the people they help find jobs (employed talent). Bestofstaffing.com is the central place that businesses and talent go to find the best staffing agencies to call when they are in need.
