Products Industry. The firm is an association of highly experienced
professionals with backgrounds in material science, product engineering,

companies.
Mr. Clark, who holds
degrees in Chemical Engineering and Business Administration, began his
professional career as a product development specialist in the plastic and
polymer industry. His experience in developing and manufacturing plastic
consumer products prepared him to join Baxter Healthcare as Manager of
Manufacturing at their facility producing plastic and rubber components for
medical devices.
Mr. Clark's extensive
career at Baxter Healthcare included serving in management of manufacturing, engineering,
and R&D departments.
Each of the associates
of the Clark Consulting Group has a minimum of 10 years experience in the
