Recently, Scuralli shared his en- thusiasm for the plastics industry, stating, "I am an 'NPE fan' and rst attended the NPE Chicago as a teen- ager in the 1970s. After visiting the 2024 NPE, I became quite bullish on the prospects for the plastics indus- try. EXTRUDAMERICA LLC is com- mitted to playing a signi cant role in the industrial renaissance the ex- trusion sector of the plastics industry is poised to realize." Scuralli, with a strong academic background and a doctorate in business with concen- trations in international business and marketing, is eager to combine his expert marketing knowledge and decades of experience in the extruder manufacturing industry. The result will deliver unique sell- ing propositions and innovative so- lutions for EXTRUDAMERICA LLC principals and clients.
