Technic has promoted Matt Sylvestre to the position of director/research and development. In his new role, Sylvestre oversees and coordinates all research and development projects at Technic's Cranston, Rhode Island, facility, as well as manage the operations of the R&D laboratory.
With a career spanning over 20 years, Sylvestre began in 1998 at Duracell as a process technician. He steadily ascended to the role of senior scientist, dedicating his efforts to refining the chemistry and efficacy of alkaline batteries.

Since joining Technic in 2008 as an applications chemist, Sylvestre has been instrumental in the advancement of various R&D projects, notably contributing to the development of low-stress acid copper and immersion plating systems. His extensive experience and proven track record make him the ideal candidate to lead Technic's R&D efforts into the future.
