background I was selected for this role,” namely plant leader, Ceramic Composite Products at the Newark site. The goal there is what he calls “industrialization—learning to scale up the process, to understand the variation associated with all of its different steps, reduce that variation, and work to make the program economically feasible.”

This is where plans for some would-be miracle products fall apart: It’s one thing to develop a material with the proper- ties you desire, but another to be able to do so in a way that works in a business plan. Wessels and the Newark microfac- tory team have had to learn to effi ciently process enough material to make it economically feasible: Where the Global Research Center made an initial coating reactor that would coat 11 strands of tow in one coating process, for example, the Newark facility has expanded that capability to 24 strands of tow, and plan to expand to 72 strands of tow—necessary, he says if they are to be able to keep up with expected pro- duction demands.
