As the director of product development here at ADS the challenge for me is following in the footsteps of the men and women who have created a huge range of innovative products over the past century and a half. From the maps printed on water-proof nylon sheets used by our troops on D-day, to the technology of in-mold electronics of today, this company has helped our customers develop some amazing solutions. When it comes to product development, we like to think that if you can dream it, we can make your dream come true.
