Vito LEO consulting services
After
retiring from Solvay in February 2021, Vito is now offering consulting
services in addition to his classical training courses.
A
few major companies are alredy taking advantage of this offer.
Currently MSTeams distant sessions are the easiest and safest,
but onsite meetings are now coming back strongly. Get in touch
via mail
or messaging on LinkedIn or Whatsapp (+32475556198) for fee details or
other enquiries.
ONLINE COURSES CLICK HERE TO CHECK THE ONLINE PLATFORM
With a little extra motivation coming from COVID-19, we have decided to speed-up our plans to go "ONLINE" with our trainings.
Please
register on the platform to see courses and check the
free introductory videos. We also have a completely free course for you
to check the quality and style of teaching.
On the ONLINE platform you will now have the opportunity to buy both the BIMS-1 and/or BIMS-2 bundles .
If
you are in India or possibly other areas of typically lower income,
please enquire with us about possible rebates that will apply to you.

Quick 2024 update
We have now a BIMS-0 seminar, a one day session introducing plastics to non-experts.
PlasticsYou has some important news :- Cristoph
HINSE will present a BIMS-1 in German language in the fall of 2024 to
stimulate participation in German speaking countries. I
will be present in the room in case of questions or discussions (in
English, I am afraid...)
Consulting
activity has slowly built-up with great customers like LEGO, BOSCH,
WINGPLAST, SOLVAY, MAERSK CONTAINERS,. and GRUNDFOS.
If
you need help, reach out to me. We do offer very flexible consulting, in
presence or via MS-Teams at a very friendly hourly
fee. I typically ask you to create a Purchasing Order for 10 hours but
will only invoice the actual number of hours spent on the request.

Note to SYENSQO visitors
Due
to the existing running contract, Syensqo delegates around the world are
entitled a 50% rebate on my online courses. Reach out to me for orders
or to get a coupon for direct online purchasing.
_ _ _Thank
you to all participants and organizers. A particularly warm "Thank you" to Charlotte Dyrmann Leser and Pernille BLOM from ATV-SEMAPP, Cristoph Hinse and Anke Praetorius from Simpatec Germany and Fabien Buchy from Simpatec France for their continuous efforts in making this venture a big success..
For German customers
It
is not easy to attract people to "english speaking" seminars in
Germany and a few other countries, but thanks to the efforts of the Simpatec team, offering also
translated printouts to participants, we are slowly building-up our
reputation in Germany and other German speaking countries.
To further help german speaking customers, PlasticsYOU GmbH
just announced german spoken BIMS-1 to be presented in Germany this
coming fall 2024 (Cristoph HINSE, presenter, Vito LEO in the room for
Q&A or discussions). Check the schedule for future
sessions in Germany or send an email to info@plasticsyou.com.
If you are in doubt about your
ability to understand my English language,

NEWS - Early 2021
Rough
times for business since the start of the pandemic. Seminars are not
unlike cultural events and involve travel and "small crowd" gathering,
all stuff that has been shut down for exactly one year now.But
this was not the only disrupting event for me recently. The big news is
that hitting 65 years brought me to retiring from my full job at SOLVAY
after nearly 40 years of work entirely dedicated to Polymer Physics,
Polymer Processing and Mechanical performance of plastics.So
this is the beginning of a new chapter, where BIMS SEMINARS SRL will
benefit from 100 % of my time. Having time and no conflicts of interest
means I am now fully active with CONSULTING activities. Please reach
out if you think I can help your company by offering part time support
for an hourly fee. It could be occasional or, better, we could agree on
a monthly or yearly volume of service (x hourse/month or y
days/year...).I am now fully vaccinated and I hope to soon
be in a position to plan some real seminars or visits to
customers.For the time being, we will still take advantage of webinar format for the training courses.Our
recently launched ONLINE PLATFORM is still in its infancy (less than a
year) but has already met some success, especially with my faithful
custmer LEGO in Billund. I am glad to report however that SABIC and
ELIX Polymers, University of Leuven, DISTRUPOL and a few private
persons have also purchased access to the complete Molding course. I
hope that the satisfaction of people testing the course will help get
more customers this year.For more details head to the platform here : https://bims-seminars.thinkific.comCheck
our AGENDA below to see the current scheduled events. You will note
that we have a brand new one-day session on Thermoplastic Composites
(from nano fillers to continuous fibers) organized by ATV-SEMAPP and
presented with my long-time friend and specialist Hans Miltner. More
details on ATV page here :

Hope
to see you at some coming seminar and please let know all your contacts
or colleagues about these trainings. Don't hesitate to come again if you
attended several years ago since we constantly update the material, and
many returning attendants keep telling us they learned/understood new
things by coming back again.
