02/06/2011
Based in Chennai, India, Mr Ganesh is technical support manager for microbicides and Buckman Beamhouse and Tanyard Systems (BBTS).
On announcing the award, Buckman said that the 2010 winner has helped fellow associates throughout Asia and Africa to introduce products, solve problems, and demonstrate added value to customers as they transition to Buckman products and processes. He also played a key role in the development of new products, running production trials, and helping to close sales, the company added, saying "BBTS continues to make progress as a benchmark for raw to wetblue processing worldwide".
The name of the award comes from a pioneer of leather science, Ed Weiss, who was hired by company founder, Dr Stanley Buckman, to take microbicide products into the leather industry in the US and help solve some of the preservation problems experienced by tanners. His efforts would eventually span the globe, and leather would become a core business segment for Buckman.
