Prabodh C. Bolur B.Sc., B.E., MIE, has valuable experience of 34 years in Plastics Industries. He graduated from Bombay University in Science (1963) and Engineering (VJTI-1967). He was Regional Manager, Madras (12 years) and Technical Manager (2 years) of Klockner Windsor India Ltd He has worked overseas Pacaging Inc. Ghazvin, IRAN (1977) on Foam injection moulding. He visited Germany for training at Klockner Plant (1981) and INTERPLAST at Birmingham(UK)(1981).

During his tenor as Regional Manager of WINDSOR in Madras between 1978 and 1990, he had come across numerous problems of machines, moulds, materials, processing, support equipment. Each of these affected my customers’ performance and also profitability. He took up their problems seriously and tried to apply his mind to understand the root causes of these problems. He used to discover and learn new things every time he tried to solve the problems. He used to document these learning and later on he tried to fit all jigsaw pieces to form a whole picture. The end result is this book " A Guide to Injection Moulding of Plastics". Truly he is grateful to his customers who gave him this opportunity to understand the subject. Now he want to distribute this knowledge to all – particularly to the students’ community. His website is http://www.pitfallsinmolding.com . He can be contacted on bolurpc@gmail.com.
