Last week, Greene Tweed was honored to take part in three major industry events shaping the future of aerospace, energy, and scientific innovation.

In Charlotte, NC, Samuel Stutz PhD and Bret Neese represented Greene Tweed as a finalist for the IRI Innovation Excellence Award in the Scientific Advancement category for our Composite Impeller project at this year's IRI Innovators Summit.

At PA Aerospace and Aviation Day in Harrisburg, PA, our Chief Human Resources Officer, Vickie Kozhushchenko, joined a panel focused on building Pennsylvania’s aerospace workforce. She shared how Greene Tweed is working to attract and retain skilled talent across engineering and the trades, while also investing in training, development, and partnerships like Cristo Rey to help inspire the next generation.

Meanwhile, at the Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) in Houston, TX, our elastomer and sealing expert, Fazel Zare Bidoky, presented on the chemical compatibility of legacy, non-fluorinated surfactant, and PFAS-free nonmetallic seals for energy applications. His presentation reflected Greene Tweed's continued commitment to advancing high-performance solutions for critical environments.

From workforce development to materials innovation, Greene Tweed remains committed to driving progress and delivering innovative solutions for the industries we serve.

Thermoplastic composites (TPCs) are transforming the performance of rotating equipment in energy, industrial, and aerospace applications. In a recent CompositesWorld podcast, Dave Noblin, Product Manager at Greene Tweed, highlighted key benefits of TPCs, including wear resistance, low friction, dimensional stability, improved efficiency, and lower lifecycle costs compared to traditional metals. Unlike metals, TPCs resist galling, corrosion, and wear, while offering weight savings of 40–60% in aerospace applications without compromising strength.

Learn more about TPC advantages and design considerations in the full podcast.
