Press release submitted on behalf of Dri-Air.
Dri-Air Industries, a leading manufacturer of desiccant drying and central conveying systems for the plastics industry, is pleased to announce the appointment of Robert Clague as its new Product Manager – Central Conveying Systems.
Clague brings nearly two decades of experience in the polymer and plastics processing industry to his new role. He joins Dri-Air from Universal Dynamics, Inc. (Piovan Group), where he served as Regional Sales Manager. Earlier in his career, he held sales and marketing leadership roles with Novatec, iNOEX GmbH, EFC Systems, and Rollepaal Pipe Extrusion Technology, and began in the extrusion industry with battenfeld-cincinnati. Through these roles, Clague has built deep expertise in resin handling and drying systems, along with a broad network of customer relationships across the plastics processing industry.
“We are thrilled to welcome Robert to the Dri-Air team,” said Jason Sears, President of Dri-Air Industries. “His deep industry experience and strong customer relationships make him a great fit as we continue to grow our Central Conveying Systems business.”
“It’s hard to believe that I’m entering my 20th year in the polymer manufacturing industry,” said Clague. “I started as a college intern, not knowing at the time where that first opportunity would lead. Two decades later, the industry has become a significant part of my professional life, and I’m excited to continue building on that experience in my role at Dri-Air Industries.”
The newly created role reflects Dri-Air’s continued investment in its Central Conveying Systems business, an area of growing importance for the company’s plastics processing customers.
“For me, Dri-Air stands out because of its people and its commitment to customers,” Clague added. “The team’s attention to detail, responsiveness, and willingness to go the extra mile demonstrate a genuine understanding that customer satisfaction is not simply a goal, it is a responsibility. That culture strongly aligns with how I have approached my career in the polymer industry and is a key reason I chose Dri-Air. My newly formed role as Product Manager for Central Conveying Systems represents an exciting next step for me, allowing me to combine my industry experience, customer relationships, and understanding of plastics processing to help grow this important area of the business.”
