Gareth McDowell
493K
After receiving his PhD from Queen's University Belfast, Gareth McDowell completed a period of product development focusing on rotational moulding processes. In particular, he and his colleagues created a series of full time data acquisition systems for rotational moulding. Gareth then established 493K Limited to develop, and manufacture, data acquisition and control systems. These systems will improve quality and process efficiency, for the heating and cooling stages of rotational moulding.
