Scott De Felice has been on a 25 year journey with Oxford Performance Materials. His company is a pioneer in PEKK, a very high-performance polymer with many properties that make it a powerful solution in engineering and medical applications. We talk about PEKK and its rival PEEK in this episode. But, we also talk about growing a business for the long term, and making tough strategic decisions. Medical implants is the path that Scott is on, and this does not only require a company to be careful and precise, but also steadfast.
