We place proven and experienced sales, engineering, operations, and R&D professionals who run pressure-sensitive adhesives, coatings, converting, packaging, films, polymers, and electronics manufacturing — the industry specialists most firms can’t reach.
We’ve placed leaders at the plants, converters, and suppliers across this field for over 40 years — many of them the same companies, again and again, across the years. Our clients range from $20M specialists to Fortune-class manufacturers, and the person you’re trying to hire is, in many cases, already known to us.

A critical retirement with no successor in place.
A profile so specialized you’re not certain the person exists
A role that sat open for months because the last 3 candidates weren’t qualified
Of a key engineer, and the key knowledge that left with them
A replacement that has to be handled before the incumbent knows.
A competitor’s best person you’d hire tomorrow if someone could make the call
A role you’ve already posted that returned volume, but no one qualified
A search you’ve inherited in a market you don’t yet know well
Bring us the role, and the timeline and number you have in mind. One call, and you’ll know:
Senior, salaried, permanent — and only that. We don’t place machine operators, temps, or hourly staff. We place the people who design the process, run the plant, grow the territory, make the call and manage the business
