About Matthew Bodoff

I have over 20 years of experience in the composites industry. My career experiences have given me a broad view of the composites industry including products such as polyester and epoxy resins, structural core materials such as SAN, PET, and PVC foam products, carbon fiber prepregs. I have detailed industry experience with the marine, engineered stone, cast polymer, advanced composites, and building and construction sectors of the market. Most recently, I\'ve transitioned into the exciting world of air & gas purification solutions, working for manganese-based catalyst manufacturer. My love of working with the many manufacturers in our industry is evident from my vast sales and business development experience both within North America and abroad. I have always had a love of manufacturing and have been able to gain experience in supply chain, customer service, and running operations for both small and medium size operations in Rhode Island. Lately, I\'ve expanded my experience into working on strategic planning and marketing communications efforts. Personally, I love to travel for both business and pleasure, and I am as comfortable on the streets of Shanghai or Hanoi, as I am in New York City. I am an AVGeek, a volleyball player, and a lover of craft beer and the local food scene in Rhode Island.

1. Business Development Director, Catalyst

   Carus

   May 2023 — Present · Peru, IL, US

   Carus manufactures a series of manganese-based catalysts, called CARULITE® catalysts. These Hopcalite® type catalysts (manganese dioxide/copper oxide) are used for breathable air purification, emission air purification, and process air purification.Specific applications include the destruction of carbon monoxide, ozone, and ethylene oxide as well as the removal of certain compounds and odors. CARULITE® catalysts are available in granular form in various size distributions as well as in powder form for ozone removal applications. One unique aspect of CARULITE® catalysts is its ability to destroy ozone and carbon monoxide at room temperatures, when used with recommended operating conditions.
