Sustainable packaging is the development and use of packaging which results in improved
sustainability. This involves increased use of life cycle inventory (LCI) and life cycle assessment
(LCA) to help guide the use of packaging which reduces the environmental impact and
ecological footprint. It includes a look at the whole of the supply chain: from basic function, to
marketing, and then through to end of life (LCA) and rebirth.[4] Additionally, an eco-cost to value
ratio can be useful[5]
The goals are to improve the long term viability and quality of life for humans and the longevity
of natural ecosystems. Sustainable packaging must meet the functional and economic needs of
the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
Sustainability is not necessarily an end state but is a continuing process of improvement.
Companies implementing these eco-friendly actions are reducing their carbon footprint, using
more recycled materials and reusing more package components.[8] They often encourage
suppliers, contract packagers, and distributors to do likewise.
For example, researchers at the Agricultural Research Service are looking into using
dairy-based films as an alternative to petroleum-based packaging. [1] Instead of being made of
synthetic polymers, these dairy-based films would be composed of proteins such as casein and
whey, which are found in milk. The films would be biodegradable and offer better oxygen
barriers than synthetic, chemical-based films. More research must be done to improve the water
barrier quality of the dairy-based film, but advances in sustainable packaging are actively being
pursued.
Environmental marketing claims on packages need to be made (and read) with caution.
Ambiguous greenwashing titles such as green packaging and environmentally friendly can be
confusing without specific definition. Some regulators, such as the US Federal Trade
Commission, are providing guidance to packagers.
Companies have long been reusing and recycling packaging when economically viable. Using
minimal packaging has also been a common goal to help reduce costs. Recent years have
accelerated these efforts based on social movements, consumer pressure, and regulation. All
phases of packaging, distribution, and logistics are included
Sustainable packaging is no longer focused on just recycling. Just as packaging is not the only
eco target, although it is still top of mind for many.
Right or wrong, packaging is frequently scrutinized and used as the measure of a company's
overall sustainability, even though it may contribute only a small percentage to the total eco
impact compared to other things, such as transportation, and water and energy use.
PMMI beefed up its digital offerings with the purchase of Summit Media Group last fall. Since then, the
groups have been busy integrating, and just last week announced the launch of PMMI Media Groupa
new media company that will offer members and the industry a suite of communication tools and
resources.
At a joint committee meeting last week, PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing
Technologies, pulled back the veilon the newly branded PMMI Media Group (PMG), a
business-to-business media company with print and digital offerings that the association says will provide
new ways to distribute content and interactive communication tools to members and the industry.
The creation of PMG comes just three months after PMMIannounced it had purchased Summit Media
Group, a well-known publications and event producer in the packaging and industrial automation industry.
We looked at our digital footprint and what it would take to really develop a robust digital platform like
theirs, with content marketing, video, everything else, and it was a pretty daunting task, said PMMI
President and CEO Charles D. Yuska. It turned out, when we approached Summit Media Group about a
possible acquisition, it turned out to be the right time for them and the right time for us to get together.
The decision to bring the media outfit into the PMMI fold adds a number of industry-specific publications
to the mix, but, according to Yuska and PMG President Joe Angel, it was about far more than just a
couple of magazines.
When PMMI acquired us, they acquired all of our technology, Angel said. Our portfolio of exclusive
tools includes world-class events, business intelligence, education, and workforce development
resources, and will help companies in the processing and packaging supply chain discover best practices
and grow their business.
It also gave PMG access to a trove of industry data that will be used to advance the associations position
as a thought leader. And PMG will play a big role in continuing to engage members and customers
throughout the year, beyond the organizations popular tradeshows like PMMIs Pack Expo.
We havent even begun to scratch the surface in terms of what well be doing with content marketing
throughout the year, said Angel. Traditionally, PMMI tradeshow websites would peak about a month
before the show and right after the show, and then all of a sudden it would fall off. PMGs reach is
substantial globally, so well be using that digital platform year round to communicate with all of the
customers and prospects of the PMMI members, and the packaging community as a whole to keep those
conversations going.
For Yuska, the PMGs success hinges on PMMIs ability to simply stay out of the way.
[Summit was] a very successful business, which is why we bought them, he said. From that standpoint,
Ive been really trying to tell my leadership, Listen, were not going to go in there and tell them how to run
their business. Theyre good at what they do. We just want to make sure that they continue to be
successful while giving them the tools that they need to do their job.
"Summit is a well-known, highly-respected publisher, with print publications and a significant digital
presence that truly complements PMMI's strategic plan. They bring to the table a fully developed platform,
an established audience and a high level of brand recognition - all within a proven business model," Crist
says.
"PMMI's strategic vision is to create opportunities where businesses and people along the packaging and
processing supply chain can convene to network, problem solve and do business," Crist adds. "The
robust platform Summit brings to the table will enhance our ability to do that."
"I think it's more than fair to say, PMMI's greatest competitive advantage lies in the strength of our trade
shows, programs and services," says PMMI President & CEO Charles D. Yuska, noting that the
multi-media platform will strengthen PMMI's position. "This platform will help connect our PACK EXPO
exhibitors with the trade show attendees year-round and will support the expanding group of expositions."
Summit President and CEO Joe Angel shares his enthusiasm. "The synergy between our two
organizations is one that will enable us both to move to the next level in terms of what we can offer our
subscribers, customers, PMMI members and the packaging and processing community as a whole. We're
very excited to become part of PMMI, with whom we've had a strong relationship for so many years, and
look forward to the new opportunities this strategic acquisition will make possible."
Under the agreement, the Summit Media Group staff will join the PMMI staff, with Summit offices
remaining in the Chicago area.

There was no doubt that PMMI, the Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies, would
expand its digital offerings for membersthat was determined during a strategic planning session last
spring. How it would implement the digital strategy was a different question.
As we considered how to build a digital platform, it became clear there were two paths to choose from:
build it or buy it, PMMI President and CEO Charles D. Yuska said in an email exchange with
Associations Now. Building a platform would be a significant undertaking, requiring considerable staff
time and financial resources. On the other hand, purchasing a proven platform gives us significantly
greater speed to market and a faster potential return on our financial investment.
While exploring its options, PMMI identified Summit Media Group, a well-known publications and events
producer in the packaging and industrial automation industry, as a model of what it hoped to accomplish.
It rose to the top as an example of a successful digital enterprise, Yuska said. Our executive committee
realized our two organizations strongly complement each other, and Summits partners agreed.
At its annual meeting earlier this month, PMMI announced it had entered into an agreement to purchase
Summit Media Group, Inc. The sale, expected to close in late October, will bring Summits staff into the
fold, along with its many publications. PMMIs editorial staffwhich produces PMT magazinewill be
integrated into Summits titles, according to Yuska.
Summit is a well-known, highly respected publisher, with print publications and a significant digital
presence that truly complements PMMIs strategic plan, PMMI Chairman Bill Crist said in a statement.
[Our] vision is to create opportunities where businesses and people along the packaging and processing
supply chain can convene to network, problem-solve, and do business. The robust platform Summit
brings to the table will enhance our ability to do that.
The goals for the new platform are threefold: increase attendance at PMMI tradeshows, increase and
diversify revenue, and enhance the organizations status as an authority and thought leader in the
industry.
Our focus is always on finding solutions that will support all of our key audiences, Yuska said. We didnt
go into the process thinking about acquiring a publishing house. We went in thinking about supporting our
strategic plan, our members, their customers, and our industry. We had to ask ourselves: Who are we
serving, what do they need, and how can PMMI best serve them?

The preponderance of product information now available online has transformed how todays B2B
companies make purchase decisions. Sales representatives are often contacted long after their
customers have fully researched their products, services and competition. AtThe Packaging Conference,
February 3-5 in Orlando, Summit Media Groups VP Digital & Custom Media, Dave Newcorn, will look at
how the Internet-enabled buyer has changed the traditional buying cycle for packaging equipment,
containers, materials and services.
In his presentation Mastering the Packaging Buying Cycle for Fun and Profit, Newcorn will present
proprietary research from Packaging World. Study results will shed light on both packager and supplier
behavior, and offer insights on how buyers and sellers can position themselves to best leverage the new
paradigm.
Packaging World is the exclusive media partner for this years event. The Packaging Conference will be
held at Rosen Shingle Creek in Orlando, FL. More information on the conference is available at
www.thepackagingconference.com.
Some packages have been annoying for so long that it seems as if manufacturers are teasing us all. Why,
in 2013, must consumers open a box of farina pretty much as they have for decades, by pushing in a
cutout on the side of the box? How many times have you opened a bag of chips only to have it split and
spill the contents?
Patrick Reynolds, editor of the trade publication Packaging World, blames economics. These are mostly
low-margin, commodity products that yield small profits, he says. There isnt a lot of motivation for
companies to rip out equipment in their plants thats bought and paid for and invest in new machinery, no
matter how horrible the packaging. Frito-Lay, for instance, abandoned an experiment to outfit snack bags
with a resealable zippered closure because of cost, says Joe Angel, publisher of Packaging World, and
besides, they want people to eat all the chips all at once.
Weve rounded up some familiar culprits and contacted companies to find out why they couldnt do better.
Comet Cleanser
The issue. The cardboard container and metal top deteriorate in moisture, and powder kicks up through
holes in the nonclosable lid when you set it down.
The companys response. The limitations of the container are by design, to make it recyclable.
Cream of Wheat
The issue. The paperboard box has a spout you create by poking a finger through a precut template.
When you pour, cereal tends to get stuck inside the box, and you cant reseal the carton.
The companys response. We are sure your suggestion for a metal pour spout for the Cream of Wheat
cereals would be a great success. In fact, many of our consumers have requested this. Unfortunately we
currently do not have the machinery to apply this type of packaging.
Summit Media Groups trajectory in b2b media since launching its flagship title Packaging World in 1993
is not uncommon at first glanceit went from print to print/Web/event hybrid. Look a little deeper, though,
and you see a company that has been remarkably nimble at growing its business in a challenging
economy. When print advertising got shaken by the double-whammy of the Web explosion and worldwide
recession, Summit Media invested in lead-generation technology and in expanding its Packworld.com
user base, and these gambles are paying off.
The company is now being asked by other publishers to license its lead-gen technology, and
Packworld.com, its main site serving the packaging industry, now has more than 100,000 registered
users, according to Joe Angel, vice president/publisher of Summit Media Group Inc.
Angel started Summit Media with partner Lloyd Ferguson in 1993, and the 1990s were good years for the
monthly Packaging World, as they were for many b2b publications. In 2003 Summit Media
launchedAutomation World, also a monthly, which covers plant operation and related IT software and
processes. The growth continued with the launch of Healthcare Packaging, a bimonthly serving the
pharma and medical device packaging industry, and Contract Packaging, which is published three times a
year and is the official publication of the Contract Packaging Association. Summit also publishes the
PACK EXPO Showcase issue for the annual PACK EXPO show, sponsored by the Packaging Machinery
Manufacturers Institute.
The companys newest brands are Shelf Impact, a custom e-newsletter that covers brand strategies and
packaging design, and Greener Package, an online-only play that serves as a knowledge exchange for
companies investing in sustainable packaging. On the events side, Summit held its Sustainable
Packaging Symposium in Chicago on March 16-18, and coming up in April is its Packaging Automation
Forum, with the Healthcare Packaging Conference and Workshop following in May.
Just this month, Summit Media announced the formation of a custom media division, which is being
headed by longtime Summit executive Dave Newcorn, who is serving as the units VP of digital and
custom media.
In the following Q&A, Jo Angel shares with minonline some of Summit Medias monetization strategies
and details about the companys homegrown lead-gen techology.
minonline: Lets start with your newest brand, Greener Package. Whats the business model?
Joe Angel: The revenue model for the Greener Package Web site comes from three sources: lead-gen
programs, display advertising and a unique supplier membership program. We offer different levels of
membership sponsorships. So a company can come in, take a top-level sponsorship, which is around
15,000, or they can come in and be a lower-level sponsor. We have an email newsletter component with
that as well that we sell sponsorships for. All companies that want to invest in sponsoring on Greener
Package must be accepted by a third-party review for sustainable claims. The GP database is the official
entry point for Walmarts packaging scorecard, a deal announced late in 2009.
minonline: Youre using a similar model for Summit Medias other sites?
Angel: Yes. For Packworld.com, for Automationworld.comfor all of our Web productswe sell
sponsorships, and that is tied in to some of our lead-generation products. We also have pure
branding-only opportunities, but provide metrics via Google.
minonline: Who was the driving force behind Summit Medias lead-gen technology?
Angel: Dave Newcorn. One of his attributes is that he was Packaging Worlds editor, so he knows the
business very well. We actually hired him in 1995 as an editor, but he just loves online stuff, and we made
him our VP of e-media and gave him his own department, including hiring an in-house Web developer,
Tom Wolf, who is a genius. Dave and Tom have been very innovative, and weve organically developed
our own technology for most of our Web products. We have this one-click technology, which we apply to
all of our Web lead-generation products. The technology we use offers full contact reportingpermission
basedand gives an advertiser complete information with name, company, address, email, phone, and
tells you what specific call-to-action item they clicked on and even what time.
Angel: We invested a lot of money in our circulation, and what weve done is marry the technology from
the Web with our database on the back end. So when John Smith or Jane Smith from Procter & Gamble
comes in and views a video, if theyre not registered, theyve got to register. And then every subsequent
time they visit our site they dont have to register, because we already have their information. So if they
click on a white paper today and two hours later they go to a video, they wont have to register again, yet
the advertiser will get full contact information. So its a very user-friendly experience, and we clearly put a
disclaimer there that by clicking on this video, youve agreed to release your information to an advertiser.
Angel: Then you put yourself in a bucket of people whose information we dont release. Its been working
real well. We have 109,000 registered users of our Web products, and weve generated over 600,000
leads for our customers in the last three years. We have about an 80% renewal rate on our Web
products, so weve really grown that portion of our business. We're very proud of this, and it motivates us
to continue innovating. It's the reality of the Web.
Angel: We anticipate that the Web will be about 25-30% of our overall revenue in 2011. And a lot of thats
going to come from the custom division that weve launched.
Angel: Id be lying if I said the decline in print advertising hasnt taken its toll, but 2009 aside, last year we
grew pretty significantly in printwe grew about 20%. We put together an "SMG Network" integrated
package for our customers that incorporates print and any type of online product, and what it has done is
encourage print spending. It calculates a monthly payment, so we dont nickel and dime them with 10
different invoices.
minonline: Where do you see the largest potential for revenue growth looking ahead at the rest of 2011
and into 2012?
Angel: Were going to have a real opportunity with custom content and marketing services. Were going to
be developing custom e-newsletters, e-show dailies, micrositesand I see a really big upswing in our
revenue this year from that. And we'll continue investing in eventsI'm convinced nothing will replace
face-to-face interaction, no matter what technology brings.

PACK EXPO Welcomes the Center for Trends & Technology Back to Las
Vegas
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PACK EXPO Welcomes the Center for Trends & Technology Back to Las Vegas
Popular show floor feature, sponsored by Rockwell Automation and its PartnerNetwork Program,
focuses on improving production through innovation
Reston, Va.; May 1, 2015 PACK EXPO Las Vegas and Pharma EXPO 2015 (Las Vegas Convention
Center; Sept. 2830) welcome back the Center for Trends and Technologies: Improving Production
Through Innovation (CTT) (Booth C-4829), sponsored by Rockwell Automation and its PartnerNetwork
Program.
Charles D. Yuska, president and CEO of PACK EXPO owner and producer PMMI, The Association for
Trends and Technologies, notes CTT will be more relevant than ever at this years show, which includes
the Las Vegas debut of Pharma EXPO, produced in partnership by PMMI and the International Society for
Pharmaceutical Engineering (ISPE).
The number one reason processing and packaging professionals attend PACK EXPO and Pharma
EXPO is to see the latest innovations. CTT focuses on the most relevant, cutting-edge trends and
technologies, to bring the greatest possible value to our attendees. This is an area in which Rockwell
Automation and its partners are clear leaders, Yuska says.
Rockwell Automation Program Manager Cheryl Lange says CTTs displays and educational sessions will
focus on technologies to enhance productivity, sustainability and agility. Topics for 2015 include the
connected enterprise working environment, network connectivity, security, remote access, safety,
serialization and line integration.
PACK EXPO and Pharma EXPO 2015 are on track to continue a strong growth pattern for the
industry-leading PACK EXPO trade shows, an expansion that increases the relevance of CTT, Lange
says.
PACK EXPO shows are evolving and growing in parallel with the industry, and as they do, CTTs role at
the show becomes more critical. The technologies and trends Rockwell Automation and its
PartnerNetwork Program showcase at CTT present major implications for production lines and more
efficient operations across all vertical markets, Lange says.
Our shows keep growing, and in 2015, were on track to break the records in place for attendance,
exhibitors and exhibit space. This PACK EXPO event will deliver a wealth of opportunity because of its
size, quality of exhibitors, and features such as CTT. PACK EXPO Las Vegas and Pharma EXPO 2015
will be a cant-miss event, Yuska adds.
PACK EXPO Las Vegas and Pharma EXPO 2015 will feature over 800,000 net square feet of exhibit
space filled with 30,000 registered attendees and technologies in action from over 2,000 exhibitors. More
information, including housing and registration ($30, increasing to $100 after Sept. 14), is online at
packexpolasvegas.com.

Brand owners are seeking out ways to reduce waste by using less packaging overall as consumers
demand for convenience has led to a surge in smaller, more portable packages. Well-developed markets,
including North America and Europe, are expected to see slower growth rates in cosmetics than
developing markets such as Asia-Pacific and Latin America. Additional factors driving the personal care
market include an expanding focus on sustainability, evolving consumer demands, innovations in
machinery and materials, flexible equipment and globalization.
See the Change for Yourself
The shifts in consumer audiences and their demands make the need for flexibility even more important to
personal care product packaging. To keep up with audience shifts, trends, technologies and industry
challenges, personal care industry professionals can turn to Pharma EXPO, produced in cooperation by
PMMI and the International Society for Pharmaceutical Engineering (ISPE). Co-located with PACK EXPO
Las Vegas 2015 (Las Vegas Convention Center; September 28-30), Pharma EXPOs Las Vegas debut
will present the event's 30,000 attendees with a variety of equipment and material solutions from 2,000

Food Safety Summit Resource Center Returns to PACK EXPO Las Vegas
Reston, Va.; May 11, 2015 The Food Safety Summit Resource Center (Booth S-7632),
organized and brought to you by the Food Safety Summit, will return to PACK EXPO Las Vegas
and Pharma EXPO (Sept. 2830, 2015; Las Vegas Convention Center), according to show
owner and producer PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies, and
the Food Safety Summit.
The Food Safety Summit Resource Center, a regular PACK EXPO feature since 2010, brings
together experts in food production and food safety for a series of educational opportunities.
Subject matter experts will provide information focused on best practices and recent advances
on the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) and Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) as well
as important topics including HACCP, food fraud, federal and state regulations, environmental
monitoring, allergens and compliance issues.
Since FSMA was announced in 2011, manufacturers have, out of necessity, been
hyper-focused on food safety issues, says Charles D. Yuska, president & CEO, PMMI. The
Food Safety Summit Resource Center gives PACK EXPO attendees a chance to get the
specific information they need to stay abreast of this important issue.
FSMA rules, which are still in the process of being finalized, attack food safety concerns
proactively, taking a stance that favors prevention over recovery.
Food safety violations and product recalls will cost your company money and devalue your
brand. Thats unacceptable at best. The Food Safety Summit Resource Center is a place where
PACK EXPO attendees address their specific questions with leading experts so they can
return to the office better educated and ready to put plans into motion to avoid violations and
recalls, says Scott Wolters, event director, Food Safety Summit.
PACK EXPO Las Vegas 2015 welcomes the co-located Pharma EXPO (produced in
cooperation with the International Society for Pharmaceutical Engineering) for the first time.
More than 30,000 attendees and 2,000 exhibitors will be on hand for the show and its more than

Reston, Va.; May 15, 2015 The OpX Leadership Networks Workforce Engagement Solutions Group
released its first resource, Workforce Engagement, last week at IndustryWeek Best Plants Conference &
Expo in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Workforce Engagement is a critical issue in American businesses, said Tom Egan, PMMI vice president
of Industry Services. Gallup estimates that the U.S. economy lost between $450 and $550 billion in
productivity in 2013 due to disengaged workers. This document serves as a practical guide to avoiding
that loss from people who are part of solving this problem at their own companies.
Group Chair Greg Flickinger, Ph.D., vice president of Manufacturing and Corporate Engineering,
Snyders-Lance, presented this resource, produced by manufacturing industry thought leaders. The paper
provides an employable strategy for increasing engagement throughout the chain of command, ensuring
staff is invested in a companys success and reaching common goals. This resource guides readers
through a process of empowering a companys workforce to make and own decisions to create an active
team that can take actions that lead to positive results.
"The engagement framework provides a roadmap of universal principles that enable and nurture a culture
of ownership, Flickinger says. Understanding the many contributing factors will help leadership make
improvements in their culture to unlock discretionary effort and commensurate performance. It took over
two years to codify the key elements used by successful leaders to authentically and consistently make
the organizational magic happen."

Amazing Packaging Race Returns to Las Vegas with ASCO Numatics Back in the Sponsors Seat
Reston, Va.; June 12, 2015 ASCO Numatics (Booth #C-2051B) will sponsor the Amazing Packaging
Race at PACK EXPO Las Vegas and Pharma EXPO 2015, reports PMMI, The Association for Packaging
and Processing Technologies, the owner and producer of the PACK EXPO portfolio of trade shows.
PMMI produces Pharma EXPO, co-located with PACK EXPO Las Vegas, in partnership with the
International Society for Pharmaceutical Engineering (ISPE).
Were grateful to ASCO Numatics for the important role it plays in supporting packaging education, and
for its consistent sponsorship of the Amazing Packaging Race, says Maria Ferrante, vice president,
education and workforce development, PMMI.
The race will take place on Sept. 30, the last day of PACK EXPO Las Vegas and Pharma EXPO 2015 (
Las Vegas Convention Center; Sept. 2830), Racers will wind their way through the exhibit halls,
completing tasks for points at participating booths, and concluding at 1:00 p.m. at the ASCO Numatics
booth. 2015 is the fifth consecutive year ASCO Numatics has sponsored the race.
ASCO Numatics is proud to sponsor the Amazing Packaging Race again, as it allows us to give our
up-and-coming workforce a comprehensive view of how exciting and dynamic a career in packaging can
be, says Robert W. Kemple, Jr., executive vice president, sales and marketing Americas, ASCO
Numatics.
Ferrante views the race as a fun way to teach students some of the less tangible aspects of a career in
processing and packaging.
ASCOs enthusiasm motivates packaging students to engage in this field, and that benefits the industry
as a whole. Thats one important lesson. Whats just as critical to their ultimate success is how quickly
theyre forced to work together, she says, noting that PMMI intentionally assigns students from a mix of
schools to each team.
The race becomes a series of teachable moments, she adds. Teamwork, hands-on packaging skills
and networking these are decisive factors in how the students will perform in their careers.
Following a short break for judges to tabulate the results, ASCO Numatics will announce the winning
team, and present its members with a prize such as the newest tablet computer.
The company will also present its Industrial Automation Engineering Scholarships to two U.S. engineering
students pursuing careers in disciplines related to industrial automation. In addition to presenting the
winning students with $5,000 awards, ASCO Numatics will make a grant of $1,000 to the engineering
departments of the colleges in which the winners are enrolled.

PMMI Releases Innovation Stage Schedules for PACK EXPO Las
Vegas 2015 and Pharma EXPO
More than 40 free, educational sessions address flexible packaging, OEE and workforce engagement and
many more critical topics in processing and packaging
Reston, Va.; Aug 3, 2015 PACK EXPO owner and organizer PMMI, The Association for Packaging and
Processing Technologies, has released the preliminary schedule for Innovation Stage at PACK EXPO
Las Vegas and the co-located Pharma EXPO 2015 (Sept. 2830; Las Vegas Convention Center). More
than 40 sessions will give visitors a glimpse of cutting edge technology presented by industry leaders.
The education sessions on the show floor at PACK EXPO and Pharma EXPO provide free,
convenient access to insights into processing and packaging trends as well as challenges in food safety
regulatory compliance, workforce development and measuring line efficiency.
One of the greatest benefits offered by our on-floor educational programming is the opportunity for a
cross pollination of ideas, says Maria Ferrante, vice president, Education & Workforce Development,
PMMI. This enables attendees to tap the potential of practices and applications proven in one industry
but unexplored in their own.
The presentations are a valuable opportunity to understand cutting-edge technologies, with subject matter
experts, including industry consultants, exhibitors and association partners, describing specific
applications and benefits. Subjects range from explorations of the latest innovations and regulations in
flexible packaging to ways to engage the workforce. Other topics include:
Impact of serialization on the pharmaceutical industry
Advanced simulation software for packaging lines
Anti-counterfeiting technologies for packaging
Transforming automated packaging with reusability
Roadmap for creating a highly engaged workforce
The latest snacking trends and their impact on packaging
The next evolution of metal detection
The OpX Leadership Network will also be among presenters, discussing the latest in one voice solutions
for workforce engagement, total cost of ownership and factory acceptance testing. OpX Leadership
Network is a dynamic community of manufacturing, engineering and operations professionals dedicated
to operational excellence.
PACK EXPO Las Vegas and Pharma EXPO is where the industry will go this fall to find winning solutions
from top-tier suppliers, Ferrante says. The value of the Innovation Stage presentations is that they
provide context attendees need to put those solutions into action at their plants.
The 30-minute long presentations will run hourly between 10:00 a.m.3:00 p.m. on Sept. 28 and Sept. 29;
sessions end at noon on Sept. 30. There will be three adjacent locations of the Innovation Stage on the

PMMI, Koelnmesse and IDFA Join Forces to Offer a New North American Food and Beverage
Processing Event at Chicagos McCormick Place in Spring 2017
Reston, Va.; Sept. 14, 2015 Three trade show leaders joined forces today to announce the launch of
ProFood Tech, a new event that will focus on processing technologies serving the food and beverage
industry. ProFood Tech will make its debut April 46, 2017, at McCormick Place, in Chicago, Ill.
The event is powered by three of the worlds trade show leaders PMMI, The Association for Packaging
and Processing Technologies; Koelnmesse and the International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA). PMMI
is the owner and producer of the PACK EXPO portfolio of trade shows and represents North American
manufacturers of equipment, components and materials for processing and packaging. Koelnmesse
organizes world leading trade shows for food and beverage, such as Anuga and Anuga Food Tec in
Cologne, Germany. IDFA is North Americas largest dairy association, representing more than 85 percent
of all North American manufacturing of dairy products.
In assessing the current trade show landscape, we saw there was a need for a dedicated event that
brings buyers together with leading world-wide manufacturers in the food and beverage industry, says
Charles D. Yuska, president and CEO, PMMI. ProFood Tech provides a venue to share the latest
innovations and crossover technologies from multiple vertical markets within the food and beverage
industry and will be that one-stop-shop featuring exhibits from both large companies that serve several
customer segments and smaller niche companies with focus on more specific needs.
Exponential changes in technology are making it hard for food and beverage companies to keep up.
ProFood Tech will provide a wide perspective on the food and beverage processing industry as a whole
and feature cutting edge solutions to the challenges the industry is facing every day on the plant floor.
More than a trade show, ProFood Tech provides both large and small suppliers the opportunity to build
their businesses by breaking into new food and beverage markets, cementing their status as industry
leaders and reaching a large group of customers at one event.
In a close dialogue with leading technology suppliers from around the globe, we aim to create a market
platform in the United States that is tailored to the requirements of domestic and foreign exhibitors and
visitors, explains Gerald Bse, president and CEO of Koelnmesse. Over a period of decades,
Koelnmesse has established an excellent reputation world-wide as a trade show organizer, especially in
the field of food products and food technology. Examples include the leading international trade fair
Anuga, the worlds biggest and most important trade show for the food industry, as well as related
spin-offs around the world.
ProFood Tech, Bse adds, marks a further logical step in Koelnmesses strategy aimed at offering
expert support to our customers in various target markets in our role as a global service provider.
With an expansive show floor and enhanced educational programming led by IDFA, ProFood Tech will
attract high-level buyers from every food and beverage sector.
The opportunities for new ideas and break-through solutions are amazing when executives from related
businesses come together to discuss, review and experience the innovations, products and services
available today, says Connie Tipton, president and CEO of IDFA. IDFA is proud to partner with these
trade show leaders and to continue our tradition of bringing industry suppliers, processors and
manufacturers together so they can find profitable business solutions, discover new technologies and see
the innovations that are abundant in our industry.
Industry leaders, including Delkor Systems, Inc., and Tetra Pak, are excited about the opportunities that
ProFood Tech will offer.
As a longtime member of both IDFA and PMMI, Delkor is very pleased to see the attention and focus that
ProFood Tech will bring to the North American food and beverage industry, says Dale Andersen,
president and CEO of Delkor Systems, Inc. Koelnmesses outstanding reputation as a trade show
organizer only strengthens this collaboration.
As a world leader in processing and packaging technologies, Tetra Pak is excited about the potential
ProFood Tech holds, says Carla Fantoni, vice president of communications for Tetra Pak U.S. and
Canada. The joint efforts of PACK EXPO, Anuga and IDFA clearly demonstrate a commitment from
these three leading organizations to establish a trusted brand serving all food and beverage categories.
We think this consolidated approach will help suppliers and customers alike make the most of the show.
ProFood Tech is a totally unique endeavor with the collaboration of three of the worlds leading industry
organizations, all with ownership of this initiative. The new show will combine the unrivaled experience
and recognition of PACK EXPO, Anuga and IDFA to create an event that will be unprecedented in its
ability to address all of the issues facing food and beverage processing operations in the North American
marketplace like sustainability, improved operations and food safety.

More than 35 industry leaders including Tetra Pak, GEA Group, Delkor, Sanimatic and Serac have
committed to exhibit at ProFood Tech since its launch less than two weeks ago, reports PMMI, The
Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies. ProFood Tech is a collaboration of three trade
show powerhouses: PMMI, producer of PACK EXPO; Koelnmesse, known for Anuga; and the
International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA).
Market research revealed a food and beverage industry desire for a comprehensive processing event
showcasing crossover technologies from multiple vertical markets much like Anuga FoodTec, but in
North America. ProFood Tech, projecting 150,000 net square feet of exhibit space and more than 400
exhibiting companies, is built to deliver that experience. The show debuts April 46, 2017, at McCormick
Place, Chicago, and will continue biennially, in odd numbered years.
Were off to a great start, says PMMI Senior Vice President Jim Pittas. Exhibiting companies have
made it clear they want an event like ProFood Tech, and that theyre excited by the possibilities the
partnership of PMMI, Koelnmesse and IDFA offers.
PMMI brings to the table its expertise as North Americas leading association for processing and
packaging, while Koelnmesse provides the proven strength of Anuga, the worlds largest food and
beverage show. IDFA, which represents 85 percent of U.S. dairy manufacturing, will bring its experience
with the International Dairy Show, which it will redevelop as a Dairy Pavilion at ProFood Tech. The trio
makes ProFood Tech the best place to share food and beverage processing solutions.
As a world leader in processing and packaging technologies, Tetra Pak is excited about the potential
ProFood Tech holds, says Carla Fantoni, vice president of communications for Tetra Pak U.S. and
Canada. The joint efforts of PACK EXPO, Anuga and IDFA clearly demonstrate a commitment from
these three leading organizations to establish a trusted brand serving all food and beverage categories.
We think this consolidated approach will help suppliers and customers alike make the most of the show.
Act now to secure a priority position for space selection. On site at PACK EXPO Las Vegas, you can

PACK EXPO Las Vegas, Sept. 28, 2015 The U.S. packaging machinery market grew 4.2 percent from
2013 to 2014, coming in at $9.41 billion, according to the 2015 PMMI State of the Industry U.S.
Packaging Machinery Report. The report also notes a 4.4 percent increase in domestic shipments, growth
of 1.6 percent in exports and growth of 3.6 percent in imports. The order backlog as of Dec. 31, 2014
decreased by 6.4 percent.
2014 2013 Change
PMMI, The Association for Processing and Packaging Technologies, produces the State of the Industry
Study based on U.S. Census Bureau reports and shipments data provided by association members who
manufacture packaging machinery. The report, which analyzes 27 packaging machinery categories,
describes trends and the outlook for packaging machinery shipments through 2019.
The largest industry sector for packaging machinery is food, but its not the fastest growing, the study
reports. That honor goes to the pharmaceuticals sector, which is forecast to grow at a compound annual
growth rate (CAGR) of 2.7 percent to 2019. Behind pharmaceuticals, the forecast for the beverage market
is a 2 percent CAGR.
This years report also addresses the impacts of outside factors, from legislation to retailers to population
growth, on the packaging machinery market, says Jorge Izquierdo, vice president, market development,
PMMI. For example, it points to The Drug Quality and Security Act (DQSA), which created a national
regulation for pharmaceutical serialization and track and trace, as the source of the growth were seeing
in packaging machinery for the pharmaceutical sector.
Within the United States, the value of shipments of packaging machinery grew from $7.1 billion to $7.5
billion from 2013 to 2014. Growth is expected to continue at a 1.6 percent CAGR, reaching $8.1 billion by
2019.
PMMI, which owns and produces the PACK EXPO portfolio of trade shows, released the results of the
study this morning in a media briefing at PACK EXPO Las Vegas and Pharma EXPO 2015. With over
2,000 exhibitors in more than 800,000 net square feet of exhibit space, the co-located shows are
welcoming 30,000 attendees to the Las Vegas Convention Center this week. To learn more, download

PMMI Report Shows Three Common Threads in Global Packaging
Markets
.
PACK EXPO Las Vegas, Sept. 28, 2015 Consumer trends are impacting packaging markets around
the world, according to "Global Packaging Trends," a new report from PMMI, The Association for
Packaging and Processing Technologies.
The report shows three influencers making a mark in every region: growing awareness of health and
wellness, recycling and environmental issues, and increasing disposable income and purchasing power.
"These trends are affecting packaging because they're driving consumers' purchasing choices," says
Jorge Izquierdo, vice president, Market Development, PMMI. "Recyclability and reusability of packaging
are dominant trends and we're predicting that will continue to be seen as PET and glass bottle usage
increases."
Packaging markets in the Middle East and Africa are anticipating 5.3 percent CAGR growth in volume, but
forecasts for Western Europe and North America land at the other end of the spectrum, with 0.4 percent
and 0.5 percent, respectively.
The expansion in the Middle East and Africa is the result of increasing exposure to modern lifestyles, and
is manifesting in growth opportunities available for packaging of carbonates, biscuits, and yogurt and sour
milk products. In Asia Pacific, forecast for 4.3 percent CAGR increases in volume, the increasing demand
for PET bottles, particularly in the bottled water category, supports health and wellness concerns.
North America, on the other hand, is a mature market, but consumers are developing growing interest in
several categories. These include healthy categories such as bottled water, and areas of innovation, such
as confectionery.
Globally, the report notes flexible plastic remains the dominant pack type, accounting for 29 percent of the
market, while PET bottles (12 percent of the market) will be among the fastest growing, with 4.7 percent
CAGR. Bottled water is expected to add 135 billion units through 2019, accounting for 54 percent of the
absolute volume growth in PET bottle use. While beverage packaging drives growth in PET and glass,
categories such as confectionery and biscuits prop up flexible packaging use.
PMMI, owner and producer of the PACK EXPO portfolio of trade shows, released the results of the study
this morning at PACK EXPO Las Vegas and Pharma EXPO 2015. With over 2,000 exhibitors in more
than 800,000 net square feet of exhibit space, the co-located shows are welcoming 30,000 attendees to
the Las Vegas Convention Center this week. To learn more, download the Executive Summary of this

Continuous collaboration between consumer goods manufacturers (CPGs) and technology suppliers is
necessary to speed the implementation of new processing and packaging solutions. The State of the
Industry Report noted that Improved information on nutrition and growing consumer health
consciousness, coupled with increased travel and busy lifestyles, have driven demand for different
products. This has led to the growth of indulgent yet healthy foods, convenience foods, different portion
sizes (e.g. single-serve packaging), different packaging designs and completely new foods. Consumers
demands are pressing the industry for innovative processing and packaging technologies, and they need
them now.
Speed matters, says Charles D. Yuska, president and CEO, PMMI. As the pressure mounts for CPGs
to adapt their operations, immediate access to solutions providers is critical to their success. Thats why it
is our number one priority to connect the makers of goods around the world with the suppliers they rely
on.
Evolving consumer demands require faster upgrades in innovation and technology on an industry-wide
level. PMMIs extensive offerings to address these needs fall into three categories: The PACK EXPO
Portfolio of Trade Shows, PMMI Media Group and PMMI Business Drivers, which encompass PMMIs
collection of market research reports, training opportunities and educational and networking programs.
These three pillars bring the continuously changing processing and packaging industries together to
address the most recent challenges.
We started this year on the heels of launching PMMI Media Group and continued to see significant
growth with the first edition of PACK EXPO East, the announcement of ProFood Tech and the debut of
Pharma EXPO in Las Vegas, says Yuska. We continue to create and nurture spaces in which end users
and suppliers can connect, work together in solving tough challenges and keep manufacturing moving
forward.
