Your contact: Frédéric Bonnin
Technical Engineer – Expert in Design, Materials, and CAE/CFD Simulation.
My background and commitments
With 25 years of expertise in the development of technical plastic parts, I dedicate my skills to ambitious industrial projects, combining performance, durability, and innovation.
Passionate about industrial transformation, I support industry players in designing technical solutions to address major challenges:
Innovation and Creativity
Decarbonization and Ecological Transition
Electrification and New Technologies
Cost and Process Optimization
An autonomous, results-driven, and creative engineer, I combine technical expertise and strategic vision to design solutions tailored to today’s and tomorrow’s industrial challenges.
My Approach is based on:
Innovation
Rethinking standards to integrate high-performance and sustainable materials, optimized designs, and reliable scientific methods.
Advanced Simulation
Using CAE/CFD tools to anticipate issues, validate concepts, and accelerate development.
Sustainability
Integrating recyclability criteria, impact on properties, lightweighting, and energy efficiency into every project.
I firmly believe that cross-functional collaboration (technical teams, production, laboratories, clients, etc.) is the key to transforming ideas into concrete and competitive solutions.
Why Work With Me?
Technical Expertise
Mastery of simulation tools and high-performance materials.
Collaborative Approach
Ability to bring teams together and align solutions with client strategies.
Forward-Thinking Vision
Anticipating trends (electrification, recyclability) for sustainable and competitive products.
Customer-Focused
Listening to clients to solve technical problems, improve products, and boost productivity through new technologies.
My 25 years of experience at DuPont de Nemours and Celanese
At DuPont and then Celanese, I contributed to innovative projects across various sectors (automotive, energy, industrial, etc.) as an expert in simulation, design, and material selection.
My responsibilities included:
Global Collaboration
Worked with technical, laboratory, and commercial teams to identify and develop high-value projects.
Design of Technical Plastic Parts
Replacing metals, functional integration, and optimization for demanding applications (electric motors, batteries, cooling systems, etc.).
Awards and achievements
SPE Automotive Innovation Award 2024 (Chassis/Hardware category) and Celanese Innovation Award 2024 for customer growth of +$12M over 8 years.
Active participation from the beginning in the creation of the company that produces the revolutionary Zen and YOYO strollers.
Advanced Simulation
Used tools such as Ansys Workbench, Moldflow, and Digimat for mechanical, thermal, CFD, and injection molding analyses
Problem Solving
Diagnosing and optimizing designs, processes, and material choices for robust and cost-effective solutions.
Materials Expertise
Selection and characterization of materials (mechanical properties, thermal properties, chemical resistance, aging, etc.).
