Professional Career 

Greg Winer received his Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering from Purdue University and has lead an elaborate career with Chicago area-based Sun Chemical Corporation ever since. He was placed into the Process and Project Engineering Group, mentoring to be a Process Engineer and a Project Manager. During that time, he reorganized and elevated the existing one-to-two student co-op Program into the six-person crew it is today. His management of the program was crucial for both the co-op students and Sun Chemical; the co-op program became the opportunity for them to be “unleashed” into young engineers. 

In 2012, he was promoted to the overall Engineering Group Manager for NAI (North American Inks), leading a team of sixteen engineers and co-op students. Winer’s centralized Engineering Group currently handles projects all over the US, Canada, and Mexico, directly supporting the Global Operations.

Co-op Alumnus

Upon graduation, Greg Winer continued his career at Sun Chemical Corporation where he formerly completed a 5-Session co-op. He is personally responsible for hiring and mentoring over forty CHE and ME co-op students over the last twenty-two years, making the co-op program an integral part of Sun Chemical Engineering Team.
