The "Fellows of the Society" are selected individuals who have reached outstanding achievements in science, technology or management in the field of plastics technology. Only 319 members, including the new Fellows, have been awarded this prestigious title since it was introduced in 1984.

The staff of the IKV are pleased with him and congratulate him warmly.

The IKV also warmly congratulates Dr. Maria del Pilar Noriega. She has been awarded the SPE fellowship of the Extrusion Division. Maria del Pilar Noriega is general director of the Instituto de Capacitación e Investigación del Plástico y del Caucho, ICIPC, in Medellin, Columbia.
