MICHELIN EXEC LEAVES TO START HIS OWN COMPANY.

A top researcher for Michelin North America Inc. has left the tire maker after 25 years to launch his own high-tech start-up in Greenville.

As director of external research for the Greenville-based tire maker, Ralph Hulseman managed its research relationships with universities, national laboratories and other companies. He was always on the lookout for innovations to improve tire making.

Now he hopes to build a new company around a technology he found while prospecting for Michelin. It's a manufacturing process developed by William P. King, a professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Illinois.

The process allows the molding of microstructures and nanostructures on curved surfaces. Hulseman said it has the potential to change the look, feel and performance of a wide variety of everyday products. For example, he said, vinyl flooring could be made to feel like carpet.

"It can be applied to anything that's made in molds," he said.

Hulseman's partners in the start-up, called Hoowaki LLC, are King and Greenville businessman John Warner, founder of the annual InnoVenture venture capital conference, where Hulseman represented Michelin for several years.

Warner said he sees a lot of opportunity in the technology "and quite frankly I have a lot of confidence in Ralph."

Hulseman, who has bachelor's and master's degrees in chemical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said Michelin supports his foray into entrepreneurship after a quarter century of corporate life.

"Michelin realized that one way to develop the technology was to have a third party commercialize it, and so eventually I asked if I could leave the company and try to do that," Hulseman said. "Everyone hopes that Michelin may be a customer some day -- as well as a lot of other companies."

BF GOODRICH TO LAYOFF AS MANY AS 500

As many as 500 BFGoodrich employees in Allen County could be temporarily laid off next month.

A sign was posted Friday at the Woodburn, Ind., tire plant saying that "as many as 40 percent" of its employees would be laid off for two months, according to a report in the Fort Wayne News-Sentinel.

The plant wants to start making layoffs by week's end, but doubts management will be able to make them that soon.

Similar notices were placed at the Tuscaloosa and Opelika plants in Alabama.

Between 1,250 and 1,300 people work at the Woodburn plant, with an annual payroll of about $69 million. Those temporarily laid off will remain under supplemental employment and medical coverage for eight weeks, the News-Sentinel reported.
