Bangkok, Thailand – In this issue we have a Conversation with Dr. Gerard Nijman ,Expert Sales Manager (Tyre & Rubber) – KraussMaffei Extrusion GmbH
Dr. Gerard Nijman stands as one of the most influential technologists in the global rubber and tire industry. Trained as an applied physicist at the University of Twente, his early fascination with rheology set the stage for a career that would bridge science, engineering, and industrial innovation. At Vredestein, he made his mark by guiding the company’s transition into advanced tread extrusion and silica–silane–S-SBR technologies, positioning the brand among the first in the world to adopt these game-changing processes. His ability to translate rheological insights into practical solutions quickly established him as a thought leader in mixing, extrusion, and tire processing.
