Tommi Borg

Tommi Borg has been active in plastics conversion since the 1960s, starting as a trainee at extrusion and polymerization plants in Finland and Sweden. He studied physics and computer science at the University of Oulu during the 1970s, leading to his first Finnish patent being granted in 1977, followed by his first international patent in 1989. He has decades of experience in engineering extrusion lines and die designs. He worked at extrusion plants from 1979 to 1993, after which he became an independent researcher and an international consultant in plastics and software. He focused on developing viscoelasticity models that were more accurate than existing Maxwell and power-law models.
