Helwig Carbon sends a special thank you to Katherine Po***ck and Erik Kiger, our summer interns from the Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE), who gained hands-on experience in new product development and R&D under the guidance of Helwig’s industry-leading experts.

Katie worked with mentor Zach Schroeder, R&D Engineer, on testing new tamping agents, taking micrographs used to analyze material structure, and finding a solution to product loss during the granulation process. Erik worked with mentor Danny Jacobs, Mechanical Design Engineer, on updating and taking measurements from test stands and aiding in creation of a new BPK-Probe™ accessory.

Thank you to Katie and Erik for their hard work, dedication, and willingness to learn. Read more about their experiences at Helwig in our newest blog: https://helwigcarbon.com/from-classroom-to-real-world-msoe-interns-at-helwig/
