Dr Mike Rigby is the Technical Director at Marbocote Ltd where he leads the development and research of cutting-edge products. Under his guidance, the team are consistently at the forefront of new technology, continually creating innovative and improved solutions.
Mike earned his B.Sc. in Materials Science from the University of Bradford, England. In 1988, after completing his Ph.D. in Polymer Science at the University of Manchester, England, he moved to the USA to work for his Ph.D. sponsor. During his time in the USA, Mike developed a groundbreaking range of water-based semi-permanent release agents that revolutionised the production of automotive elastomers. He also created a fast-curing sprayable release agent for the marine and composite markets, significantly advancing the field of semi-permanent release agents.
Whether it was Mike’s passion for Manchester United or his professional ambition that brought him back to the UK in 1997, we’ll leave that for you to decide.
In 2001, Mike and Ian Snowdon co-founded Marbocote, and the rest, as they say, is history.
