CONNECT Virtual Conference 2026

Posted on 06-09-2026

We are excited to share that Beaumont is sponsoring and participating in the upcoming MF Software CONNECT Virtual Conference!

On June 16, from 3:30 PM to 4:15 PM, Beaumont’s own Jacob Trott will take the virtual stage to tackle one of the most critical challenges in modern plastics engineering. His presentation, “Syncing Systems: How Test Lab Parameters Translate to Simulation Performance,” will delve into bridging the gap between ideal laboratory conditions and real-world manufacturing.

“Simulation accuracy is only as good as the data behind it. In this session, Jacob will discuss how material characterization must reflect real-world production conditions to deliver reliable simulation results. Attendees will gain insight into why understanding a material’s chemical makeup and processing requirements before testing is critical to bridging the gap between lab data and production-floor performance.”

Meet Kevin Rottinghaus: Beaumont’s Senior Sales Manager for the Midwest

Posted on 11-06-2025

Kevin grew up in Woodbury, Minnesota, and went to Saint Cloud State University and the University of River Falls Wisconsin. Kevin now lives in Somerset, Wisconsin with his wife Megan and their two boys, Jude and Lincoln.

His journey into plastics started 18 years ago at a small injection molding company in Wisconsin. Kevin threw himself into learning everything he could about the industry. He took all of AIM’s development courses, plus training with industry leaders Mike Sepe and John Bozzelli, to build his knowledge in injection molding. He also provided consulting for some clients on how to improve part and tooling design to reduce costs and lead-times.

Kevin joined Beaumont Technologies in February 2011, and now he’s a Senior Sales Manager covering much of the U.S. But his impact goes beyond sales. He’s President of SPE Upper Midwest, founded Molding Our Future (a non-profit that introduces kids to injection molding as a career), and regularly guest lectures at UW-Stout’s Plastics Engineering Program.

His customers love working with him because he responds quickly and always has an answer. And when he doesn’t? He picks up the phone and calls one of Beaumont’s engineers who does.

In Kevin’s own words: “We’re here to help the industry. If your company touches injection molding, we can help. If it’s not us, I’ll connect you to the right partner.”

Fun Fact: Kevin and his family are hardcore ice fishermen. We’re talking days on a frozen Wisconsin lake in a custom fish house that’s more like a luxury RV, complete with a fireplace, TVs, and a sectional sofa. Now that’s commitment to the hobby!

Whether you need help with simulation, material characterization, or world-class training, Kevin and the Beaumont team are here for you. ✨

Wrapping Up Summer with Our Annual Beaumont Picnic 2025

Posted on 10-27-2025

We wrapped up summer with our annual Beaumont company picnic! It was one of those perfect days filled with sunshine, and great food.

It’s always special to see our coworkers, and their families, and even pets- all come together outside of work. The afternoon was filled with laughter and plenty of activities. From sack races to yard games, and finishing with an exciting raffle with prizes including a 50-inch LED TV, 25 ft Bounce House, Jeep Power Wheel, and more.

There was no down-time with kids bouncing throughout the day, while Steelers fans gathered to watch a live stream of the game. There was plenty of never ending BBQ.

A huge thank you to all our team members and their families who make Beaumont special each day. This is our way of saying thank you.
