Dr. Thomas Cord, CEO of parent company ELAU AG, noted the significance of this new membership category to the company and its customers. “We participate actively in all the packaging machinery builders’ associations and standards groups available to us worldwide,” said Dr. Cord. “Because North America is the world’s largest market for packaging machinery, contributing as a PMMI member to the industry is a top priority in our business strategy.”

“Working together, we can make packaging technology an even more powerful competitive advantage for packagers,” said ELAU global marketing manager John Kowal. “Many PMMI members have already embraced the advantages that our PacDrive™ automation system provides. And they are always pleased when they discover many of their customers are already using PacDrive at their facilities around the world.”

“We make the most of every opportunity to engage PMMI’s core membership with our strategy of reducing their Total Cost to Develop™, Virtually Zero

Cabinet initiative™, and automation technologies that are purpose-built for packaging. We look forward to continuing our sponsorships of important PMMI activities,” said Kowal, “now as an integral part of what I believe to be the most effective advocate organization among North American manufacturing industries today.”
