Vectorply hires Edison Ospina as Field Engineer

Phenix City, AL – Vectorply Corporation recently announced the hiring of Edison Ospina as Field Engineer. Ospina will fill the vacant position left by Mike Ditzler, who was promoted to Southeast Region Sales Manager.

Ospina becomes Vectorply’s second field engineer along with Drew North. The field engineering program provides on-site technical support for customers from laminate design to finished part production. Field engineers work alongside Vectorply and distributor sales and technical service managers to provide a valuable resource to composite producers.

Ospina comes to Vectorply from 3A Composites Core Materials/Baltek Inc, where he worked for 21 years as technical service engineer and lab manager. He has an extensive knowledge of all composite materials used in the transportation, aerospace, industrial, marine and wind energy markets. His experience has focused on quality and research and development of new materials and processes. Tapping into his experiences, Ospina can help guide customers to the best materials and processes to suit their application.

Vice President of Composite Engineering Trevor Gundberg is excited to bring on another technically proficient engineer who is very familiar to Vectorply.

“Most of us in Vectorply’s sales and engineering groups have worked alongside Edison on many customer projects over the past two decades and seen firsthand his level of skill, knowledge, and professionalism,” Gundberg said. “With the recent promotion of Mike Ditzler to our southeast region sales manager role, we had an important field engineering position open that required all of these attributes, and we are lucky that we able to bring on someone of his caliber.”

Vice President of Sales Tamir Levy said that Vectorply will continue to lead the way in customer support, and the field engineering program is a crucial part of that goal.

“Our main goal at Vectorply is to make it easy for customers to do business with us,” he said. “Edison’s expertise and experience allow us to help customers from beginning to end of their production process and allows us to add even more value as a supplier. We are very excited to have him on our team.”
