About Kyle Bucklin
I’m a mechanical engineer with an MBA focused on commercializing new materials and products—taking ideas from development into real, scalable production. At World Centric, I work across engineering and manufacturing to launch new materials and products and build the systems behind them. That includes everything from equipment selection and facility buildout to process development, and ROI-driven decision making. My experience spans a wide range of manufacturing environments—from mushroom-based packaging to aerospace components to high-volume consumer packaging. I’ve worked with processes like extrusion, injection molding, and compression molding and I enjoy solving the practical challenges that come with scaling: getting machines running, stabilizing processes, and making the numbers work.
