Carmen Troncos Correa

Led structural reorganisation of technical areas across R&D, process development, and operations. Managed KPIs across production, safety, quality, and regulatory compliance, and led cross-functional teams with continuous improvement initiatives.

Led on-site technical support for gravure, lamination, embossing, and UV lacquering lines. Improved solid-colour line contribution by over 7% through scrap reduction and process optimisation.

Implemented a technical laboratory for process troubleshooting and customer technical support. Resolved critical raw material supply constraints through cross-plant collaboration and defined machine conditions for standard and NPD products.

Achieved ISO 9001 certification as part of the implementation committee, the first site in the company to certify. Developed and commercialised a new aromatic epoxy polymer and led a team of ten in polymer synthesis and process scaling.

Developed and modified recipes for acrylic-styrene, vinyl, and condensation polymers. Characterised materials using IR spectroscopy, UV spectroscopy, and thermal analysis, and scaled up recipes from laboratory to full-scale production.
