 Las Buenas Prcticas de
Manufactura Certifican la
Calidad de los Productos
Alimenticios
L
a industria alimentaria de Mxico ante
la inminente demanda de alimentos por
parte de la poblacin y ante una ilimita-
da oferta de los mismos, ya no solo se
conforma con producir productos que busquen
satisfacer los gustos de las personas, sino que ade-
ms ha demostrado el inters de adoptar mejores
mecanismos y mejores prcticas de manufactura
que contribuyan a brindar bienestar y salud para
nios, jvenes y adultos.
EDITORIAL
Por lo tanto, la Seguridad Alimentaria, concebida
desde la Organizacin de las Naciones Unidas
para la Agricultura (FAO), como el acceso fsico
y econmico a suficientes alimentos inocuos y
nutritivos que tienen en todo momento todas
las personas para satisfacer sus necesidades ali-
menticias, a fin de llevar una vida activa y sana,
ha constituido una preocupacin de carcter
mundial, que est enfocada en evidenciar unas
condiciones ptimas en la salud pblica y en
reflejar el impacto de los mercados de un pas
en el mbito internacional.
La necesidad de establecer una seguridad en
todas las materias primas y en todos los in-
gredientes ha sido punto de partida para que
se desarrollen una demanda de esquemas de
certificaciones.
Por ende, a travs de la implementacin de
Buenas Prcticas de Manufactura (BPM),
reconocidas como procedimientos necesa-
rios para alcanzar una alta exigencia sanitaria
de los productos, se reducen los riesgos de
contaminacin de alimentos, enfermedades y
prdidas econmicas para el pas, adems de
evitar la propagacin de un grave problema
de salud pblica.
El sector industrial, motivado y preocupado por
la alimentacin de los mexicanos, trabaja por
ofrecerles productos de alta calidad elaborados
y procesados con la ms innovadora tecnologa,
incentivando adems el claro etiquetado de los
alimentos en el que las personas podrn infor-
marse acerca del contenido nutricional de los
mismos, y su vez ayudarles a tomar las mejores
decisiones en sus hbitos alimenticios, generando
conciencia de que hay que consumir productos
con menos grasas, saturadas, menos contenido
calrico y menos nivel de azcar.
El tema de la publicidad, tambin es un aspecto
clave en el que el Gobierno y las entidades per-
tinentes han tomado las medidas respectivas,
debido a que las personas en ocasiones se dejan
llevar por patrones de consumo que no resultan
muy saludables. Para ello, por ejemplo, lo que
se ha venido haciendo es restringir en los hora-
rios infantiles de televisin los anuncios de los
productos que no cumplen con las condiciones
nutrimentales.
Es as como se busca proyectar cada vez un
panorama ms positivo para Mxico en cuan-
to a los sistemas de inocuidad de alimentos,
los cuales influyan en el bienestar social y en
combatir los graves problemas de obesidad,
que trae consigo otras enfermedades de tipo
no transmisibles como las cardiovasculares, las
diabetes y la hipertensin, lo que tambin tiene
incidencia en la productividad de las personas y
en el desarrollo del pas.

 Ms Calidad para la
Industria Alimentaria
La industria de alimentos ha reportado un notable crecimien-
to en los ltimos aos, convirtindose en uno de los sectores
ms productivos a nivel nacional.
C
uando se habla de alimentos
y productos de consumo
para la poblacin surgen
una serie de preguntas e
inquietudes sobre los procesos de
elaboracin, calidad, empaquetado y
distribucin de los mismos. Es por
esto que al profundizar en esta materia
la responsabilidad aparece como el
principal fundamento para respaldar
esta serie de interrogantes que giran
alrededor de los establecimientos e
industrias del pas.
Aqu es donde aparecen los entes en-
cargados de velar por dicha seguridad,
bien sea llamada sanidad o inocuidad,
la cual es regida a travs de distintas
polticas y certificaciones que brindan
la calidad necesaria de los productos
antes de ser exportados y vendidos.
4 Balance de Gestin Ms Calidad para la Industria Alimentaria
En este sentido, los resultados satis-
factorios de las estrategias orientadas
al fortalecimiento de la salud siempre
deben estar determinados por una
significativa promocin de medidas
que acten como garantes de la cali-
dad en los procesos de elaboracin,
comercializacin y consumo.
Por ende, es indispensable garantizar
mejores condiciones para los con-
sumidores, los cuales a diario hacen
uso de diferentes productos para su
sustento, adems de consolidar los
procesos de elaboracin en las em-
presas del pas, innovando en cuanto
a maquinaria e industrializacin, sin
dejar de lado el reconocimiento y las
certificaciones de calidad que otor-
garn mejores estndares lucrativos
al mercado y el comercio.
Empaque de alimentos
Seguridad: Empacar los alimentos
hace que sean ms seguros y menos
vulnerables a la contaminacin.
Tiempo de caducidad: Los alimentos
duran ms y se mantienen frescos
por ms tiempo cuando se empacan
correctamente. Los alimentos sin
empacar pueden secarse rpidamente,
les puede aparecer moho o se pueden
poner en mal estado.
Desechos: Los empaques de los
alimentos representan un gran por-
centaje de los residuos en los Estados
Unidos. Aunque algunos empaques
son reciclables, es difcil mejorar la efi-
ciencia de la mayora de los empaques.
Costo: Los empaques constituyen
un porcentaje de los costos de todos
los fabricantes de alimentos y se ven
reflejados en el precio final de cada
producto que compra el consumidor.

Conveniencia: Los paquetes para porcio-
nes individuales y los paquetes para pro-
ductos perecederos son convenientes
porque los consumidores no tienen que
envolverlos o ponerlos en contenedores
antes de guardarlos.
Sector alimentario
La sanidad e inocuidad alimentaria es
una de las prioridades de cada enti-
dad, empresa o institucin dedicada al
sector salud, ya que el cuidado que se
debe tener con los productos debe ser
minucioso con el fin de garantizar a la
ciudadana alimentos de alta calidad.
Para cumplir con dichas prioridades,
las autoridades sanitarias y de salud
toman medidas, crean programas y
establecen normativas en torno a la
produccin y comercializacin de
productos. En este aspecto, la vigilan-
cia sanitaria juega un papel importante
dentro de los procesos de certificacin
de calidad de alimentos, tanto para
los que se importan como los que se
exportan.
Lo anterior garantizar las mejores
condiciones para las familias mexica-
nas, las cuales a diario hacen uso de
diferentes productos para su sustento,
adems se consolidarn los procesos
de elaboracin en las empresas del
pas, innovando en aspectos de maqui-
naria y procesos de industrializacin,
sin desconocer el reconocimiento
y las certificaciones de calidad que
otorgan mejores estndares lucrativos
al mercado local.
Buenas Prcticas de
Manufactura
Las Buenas Prcticas de Manufactura
(BPM) se aplican en todos los procesos
de elaboracin y manipulacin de ali-
mentos y son una herramienta funda-
mental para la obtencin de productos
inocuos.
Constituyen un conjunto de principios
bsicos con el objetivo de garantizar que
los productos se fabriquen en condicio-
nes sanitarias adecuadas y se disminuyan
los riesgos inherentes a la produccin y
distribucin:
Mejorar la seguridad alimentaria, la
trazabilidad y la calidad del producto.
Generar nuevas oportunidades de
ventas y acceso a nuevos mercados.
Impulsar su competitividad en el
mercado alimentario.

Balance de Gestin
Garantizar una produccin de ali-
mentos saludables e inocuos para el

tando la confianza de sus clientes.
Agilizar la aplicacin de HACCP (Sis-
tema que permite identificar, evaluar y
controlar peligros significativos para la
inocuidad de alimentos)v y cualquier
otro Sistema de Gestin de Calidad e

Para la elaboracin y comercializacin
de alimentos es indispensable realizar
una inspeccin completa a los proce-
sos, aplicando normas establecidas con
el fin de garantizar al consumidor que
los productos que recibe son de buena
calidad e idneos para su consumo.
La industria de alimentos es actualmente
uno de los sectores empresariales ms
rentables del mundo, lo cual produce
al mismo tiempo amplios beneficios
por sus contribuciones a la sociedad,
comercio y exportaciones.v
Por tal razn, en Mxico se ha estable-
cido la necesidad de que dicho sector
elabore productos sujetndose a normas
de Buenas Prcticas de Manufactura, las
cuales facilitan el control y la garanta de
la calidad de las mismas, brindando se-
guridad y confiablidad para su adminis-
tracin y expendio a los consumidores.
Uno de los retos ms impor-
tantes para la industria a la
hora de disear el empaque
de sus productos es lograr que
este sea lo suficientemente exi-
toso entre los consumidores.

requerimientos, afirm el presidente de
la Cmara Nacional de Industriales de

A la fecha, uno de los principales
retos que enfrenta esta industria a
nivel nacional es hacer crecer tanto la

Pardo expuso que tan slo para llegar a
la recomendacin de la Organizacin de
las Naciones Unidas para la Alimenta-
cin y la Agricultura (FAO, por su sigla
en ingls), el pas tiene una oportunidad
de crecimiento de 27%.
El mercado puede crecer 27%, ni-
camente con que consumamos las
recomendaciones internacionales. La
recomendacin de la FAO son 500
mililitros diarios y en el pas se con-
sumen 363 mililitros al da, detall
Juan Carlos Pardo.
Adems, agreg que al producir nica-
mente 70% de los requerimientos que se
utiliza en la industria, el mercado podra
crecer al menos otro 15%, reduciendo
las importaciones complementarias.
En el primer semestre del 2014, la
produccin de leche en el pas creci
lentamente, al ubicarse por debajo de
1%, estim Pardo. Mientras que durante
el segundo semestre, la Canilec estim
un crecimiento del 2 %.
Pardo urgi a que se genere una pro-
puesta de desarrollo de la ganadera
lechera en Mxico.
Quertaro registra una produccin
promedio de 1 milln de litros de
leche al da. El estado forma parte de
la regin centro (junto con otros cinco
estados), que aporta 40% de la leche
que se produce en el pas.
Produccin de leche
La Cmara Nacional de Industriales
de la Leche menciona que la pro-
duccin de leche representa la quinta
parte del valor total de la produccin
nacional pecuaria, siendo la tercera
en importancia superando a la pro-
duccin de cerdo y huevo, por lo que
se deduce que esta es una actividad
rentable, ya que de otra manera no se
explica el importante crecimiento que
se ha generado.
El crecimiento de la produccin
primaria, a pesar de ser importante
y mostrar ndices superiores al creci-
miento de la poblacin, no son sufi-
cientes para abastecer a una industria
que ha logrado una transformacin
profunda, obtenida sobre la base
de calidad y desarrollo de nuevos
productos, lo que ha provocado en
la poblacin un mayor consumo de
productos lcteos.
Estos cambios han representado de
igual forma alteraciones que han modi-
ficado el entorno en el cual se mueven
las empresas.

La industria seguir creciendo y se
estima que en 2025 deben producirse
14,200 millones de litros / ao (+
1.7% anual) de leche fresca, para abas-
tecer un mercado de 18,200 millones
de litros / ao (+ 1.4% anual) en un
Mxico de 126 millones de habitantes.
La estabilidad de la economa mexica-
na de los ltimos lustros ha permitido
un crecimiento de la produccin de
leche, que si bien es importante, es
insuficiente para disminuir la brecha
entre produccin y consumo.
El incremento de la produccin leche-
ra en Mxico de manera competitiva
solo es posible estableciendo polos
de desarrollo para tal fin, siendo las
zonas tropicales las que cuentan con
recursos naturales autosuficientes
para hacerla de manera competitiva.
Es as como las principales caracters-
ticas que debe tener una zona o regin
para producir leche de manera com-
petitiva es contar con suficiente agua
que permita soportar la produccin,

Alimentacin (SAGARPA), inform
que Mxico se consolida como uno
de los principales exportadores de
productos agroalimentarios de Am-
rica Latina, mediante los tratados
comerciales que se firmaron en los
ltimos aos.
Es por esto que se encuentra entre las
primeras diez potencias mundiales en
produccin de alimentos:
Primer productor mundial de agua-
cate y de jugo de ctricos concen-
trado.
Segundo en harina de maz, jugo
de limn concentrado, sorgo para

Mxico busca ser lder en el desarrollo
sostenible y competitivo del sector
agrcola. Por eso, el trabajo conjunto
entre distintas instituciones mexicanas
y los productores permitir que los
objetivos se cumplan a cabalidad.
Finalmente, la globalizacin ha trado
consigo un incremento en la produc-

La Seguridad Alimentaria es un tema que afecta no slo la
salud pblica, tambin al comercio internacional.
A
nte la globalizacin de
alimentos y ante un mer-
cado que est en cons-
tante transformacin y
evolucin, cada vez ms son los con-
sumidores que tienen a su disposicin
y a su alcance una gran variedad de
productos frescos y elaborados.
Esto a su vez ha repercutido en la
proyeccin y en la expansin del
comercio internacional y en una evi-
dente preocupacin por los riesgos
que genera la seguridad alimentaria
para la salud pblica en toda su cadena
de suministro.
Por ello, se hace indispensable esque-
mas de certificaciones de seguridad,
como la certificacin FSSC 22000,
para que los alimentos entre los que
se tienen en cuentan los ingredientes
y las materias primas, proporcionen
confianza y tranquilidad en la po-
blacin acerca de lo consumen y
adquieren en las principales cadenas
de supermercado
En qu consiste la

La eficiencia para el sector caero tiene dos vertientes: el

J
alisco es el segundo produc-
tor de azcar de caa en M-
xico, nicamente superado
por Veracruz. Entre los dos
aportan la mitad de la produccin
azucarera del pas.
El responsable de la cadena pro-

a travs del sitio web informador.

adverso para la agricultura caera
en aos recientes por la cada del
precio internacional del azcar, los
productores jaliscienses continan
siendo eficientes.
En Jalisco, el promedio de 100 to-
neladas de caa por hectrea que se
producen en el mbito estatal, est
siendo superado por un buen nmero
de caicultores que han mejorado sus
paquetes tecnolgicos en varias zonas
productoras.
El hecho de contar con mejores ndi-
ces de productividad, ms toneladas

ciones en la calidad de los suelos del

que han llevado a que se refleje el

mx que en una superficie de 12 mil
hectreas de la zona de abasto para
esta factora del sureste de Jalisco, se
tienen rendimientos promedio del
orden de 135 a 140 toneladas por
hectrea, lo cual ha representado un
buen incentivo para sus productores.
Gracias a la calidad de nuevas va-
riedades de la gramnea, en los dos
primeros cortes se alcanzan montos
de ms de 200 toneladas por hectrea.
Dichas variedades se han adaptado
muy bien al ecosistema de Tamazula.
Daz seal que un factor clave para
los rendimientos incrementados, ha
sido la superficie de riego de 7.000
hectreas con las que cuenta dicha
zona caera, as como los beneficios
que se tienen en las tcnicas de fer-
tilizacin mediante riego por goteo.

Una actividad importante

La agroindustria de la caa de azcar

este continente es hoy la regin donde

Es necesario recalcar que el pas tiene
una gran cantidad de tierra con las
caractersticas indicadas para el cultivo
de caa de azcar: hmeda, clida y
frtil. Es por ello que las zonas cer-
canas a las costas, sobre todo la parte
sur del pas, producen prcticamente
la totalidad de la caa.
Veracruz es el principal productor.
Ah se encuentra el 33% de la super-
ficie sembrada, tres veces ms que

modo sugiere polticas fiscales que
disminuyan el consumo de alimentos

De acuerdo a lo que se informa en
la edicin impresa de la Estrategia
Nacional para la Prevencin y Con-
trol del Sobrepeso, la Obesidad y la
Diabetes y bajo el tema que aqu
compete sobre los lineamientos ge-
nerales la Norma Oficial Mexicana

objetivo actualizar la reglamentacin

Poltica Fiscal: se considera necesario
utilizar la poltica fiscal, a travs de la

que permitan reducir el consumo de
aquellos alimentos y bebidas que son
considerados como no aportantes de
elementos nutritivos, es decir, aquellos
productos que a pesar de brindar al orga-
nismo un aporte energtico significativo
no tienen los nutrientes necesarios. Por
lo tanto al imponerse un impuesto sobre
este tipo de productos se conduce a una
sensible disminucin en el consumo de
los mismos.
Sobre la publicidad de alimentos
y bebidas no alcohlicas
Ante la prioridad y la importancia de
proteger a los nios mexicanos en riesgo
de adquirir enfermedades no transmisi-
bles relacionadas con el sobrepeso y la
obesidad, como trastornos del aparato
locomotor, enfermedades cardiovascu-
lares y la diabetes; en el marco jurdico se
han hecho modificaciones con respecto
a la publicidad de alimentos y bebidas no
alcohlicas que contemplan los siguien-
tes parmetros:
Norma Oficial Mexicana de Alimentos y Bebidas no Alcohlicas Preenvasados
a. Definir como horarios de audiencia
infantil los siguientes: Lunes a viernes:
de 14:30 a 19:30 horas y sbados y
domingos: de 7:00 a 19:30 horas.
b. Establecer que solamente podrn
publicitarse en horarios de audiencia
infantil, aquellos productos que cum-
plan con los criterios nutricionales que
para tal efecto determine la Secretara
de Salud.
c. De manera excepcional se podr hacer
publicidad de alimentos y bebidas en
horarios de audiencia infantil siempre
y cuando se garantice que la audiencia
del programa o la programacin que
se presente no excede del 35% de
nios menores de 12 aos, o bien
que se trate de un programa televisivo
que entre en alguna de las siguientes
categoras: telenovelas, noticieros,
pelculas, series no aptas para pblico
infantil y deportes.
Estas modificaciones estn acompa-
adas de un sistema de seguimiento
al cumplimiento de las disposiciones
establecidas, y de igual manera el esta-
blecimiento de sanciones.
Adicional a esto en el artculo 23 del
Reglamento de la Ley General de
Salud en Materia de Publicidad esta-
blece que la publicidad de alimentos y
bebidas no alcohlicas deber incluir
mensajes precautorios sobre la condi-
cin del producto, as como mensajes
promotores de una alimentacin equili-
brada o de fomento de buenos hbitos
higinicos.
Entre tanto, en el artculo 24 se indica
que el anunciante de alimentos y bebi-
das no alcohlicas podr sustituir los
mensajes a que se refiere el artculo
anterior por mensajes informativos
que cumplan con los siguientes re-
quisitos:
1. Que se haya establecido un conve-
nio expresamente con la Secretara

2. Que el contenido de los mensajes
informativos se refiera, segn lo

 Importancia de las
Buenas Prcticas de,
Con el propsito de fabri-
car productos sanos y de
calidad, es indispensable
que la industria alimen-
taria implemente en sus
procesos un adecuado
manejo sanitario bajo
normas nacionales e in-
ternacionales vigentes.

D
ebido al crecimiento po-
blacional, los mercados
y el sector productor de
alimentos se han visto
en la necesidad de desarrollar e im-
plementar nuevos procedimientos
y condiciones de fabricacin y de
produccin, esto con la finalidad de
reducir y evitar al mximo los riegos
de intoxicacin alimentaria y por tanto
suministrarle a los consumidores pro-
ductos que cumplan a cabalidad con
los sistemas y normas de higiene y de
calidad, lo que contribuye a preservar
el bienestar y la salud de las personas.
Adicional a esto los propios consumido-
res exigen que puedan contar en el mer-
cado con alimentos que no perjudiquen
su salud, reclamo que se basa en que los
productos alimenticios estn expuestos
a microorganismos o que son tratados
con antibiticos, fertilizantes agrcolas,
hormonas y plaguicidas.
Es por eso que las autoridades sani-
tarias consideran prioritario el esta-
blecimiento de polticas que aseguren
la inocuidad de los alimentos y que
garanticen su acceso a los mercados
nacionales e internacionales.
Por ende, las Buenas Prcticas de
Manufactura (BPM) se reconocen
como procedimientos necesarios
para lograr alimentos inocuos y aptos
para el consumo, obteniendo una alta
exigencia sanitaria de los productos,
lo que permite reducir los riesgos
de contaminacin de alimentos, en-
fermedades y prdidas econmicas,
adems de evitar la generacin o la
propagacin de un grave problema
de salud pblica.
De manera que las Buenas Prcticas
de Manufactura al definir las condicio-
nes que deben estar presentes en toda
planta de procesamiento de alimentos,
se hace fundamental crear espacios
de capacitacin que le faciliten al
personal vinculado o relacionado con
la industria alimentaria implementar
Sistemas de Gestin de Calidad, si-
guiendo los lineamientos legislacin

(Buenas prcticas de Manufactura),

HACCP (Anlisis de Riesgos y Puntos
crticos de Control) y haciendo uso de
las herramientas modernas de gestin
de la inocuidad.
Sistema de Aseguramiento
de Inocuidad Alimentaria
En la actualidad, las disposiciones
internacionales en asunto de calidad
e inocuidad alimentaria planteadas
por la Organizacin de las Naciones
Unidas para la Agricultura y la Ali-
mentacin (FAO) y la Organizacin
Mundial de la Salud (OMS) sugieren la
aplicacin de estrategias encaminadas
a la obtencin de alimentos sin riesgos
para la poblacin como la rastreabi-
lidad de los alimentos, la aplicacin
de buenas prcticas de produccin
y manufactura y el establecimiento
de Sistemas de Anlisis de Riesgos y
Control de Puntos Crticos (HACCP),
el cual est basado en mecanismos
de prevencin considerados como
buenas prcticas.

Manufactura en la Industria
Alimentaria Mexicana
Los principios de HACCP aplicados
al Sistema de Aseguramiento de Ino-
cuidad Alimentaria durante la produc-
cin y procesamiento son:
1. Identificar los riesgos potenciales
2. Determinar los puntos de control y
puntos crticos de control.
3. Establecer los lmites crticos, de
acuerdo a la normatividad existente
y a las exigencias dl cliente
4. Sistema de monitoreo en cada pun-
to crtico.
5. Establecer las acciones correctivas
que se deben tomar al momento en
que se presenta una desviacin en
el punto crtico.
6. Establecer un sistema de registros.
7. Establecer los procedimientos de
verificacin.

nacional por recuperar las tierras frtiles,
convertirlas en espacios ms producti-
vos, lo que signifique a su vez, mayores
oportunidades para los productores y
un ptimo crecimiento econmico a
partir del buen uso de las tierras.
Esta estrategia se suma al plan del Presi-

dijo Mario Escarcega, director general
del Clster Alimentario de Nuevo
Len al asistir a la inauguracin de la
misin comercial Canad-Nuevo Len

empresas canadienses y de la entidad
pudieron tener un primer acercamiento

El funcionario mencion que hay mucho
inters por explorar oportunidades para
impulsar nuevas formas de cultivo desde
la produccin primaria hasta el procesa-
miento intermedio y la comercializacin
misma de los productos; Canad en ese
sentido puede aportar mucho a Nuevo
Len, aadi Escarcega.
Nos interesa que Nuevo Len se
convierta en un importante productor
de soya, dada la gran demanda que se
est dando de este grano, agreg en
entrevista con medios.
A este encuentro hay por lo menos
unas 40 empresas de la localidad
interesados en participar y explorar,
adems de la Universidad Autnoma

tema de gastronoma.
El director del Clster Alimentario,
coment que en el tema de impulsar
la produccin agrobiotecnologa en
soya, canola, la propia Sagarpa est
haciendo grandes esfuerzos para im-

tcnicas eficientes de siembra para
estados como Nuevo Len y con el
tipo de clima que se tiene, y as tener
un mejor aprovechamiento de los
productos de los granos tanto para
engorda de animales como para el
consumo humano.
Actualmente hay unas tres mil em-
presas del sector, de las cuales slo
40 estn afiliadas al Clster, siendo
las ms grandes y representativas del
estado, las cuales son denominadas
como empresas tractoras.
Escarcega mencion que al Clster le
interesa que Nuevo Len produzca
materias primas y dejar de importar.
Asimismo, uno de los objetivos es for-
talecer la cadena de valor e impulsar

En dicho lugar, en temporadas altas
como la Semana Mayor y en la prxi-

de garantizar la comodidad y mxima
higiene para las ubres de las vacas.
Asimismo, los comederos individuales
con sistema de entrampadero auto-
mtico son de gran ayuda para que
el mdico veterinario pueda revisar el

Pasteurizadora Jersey del Noroeste
cuenta con una cuenca lechera en
una red de establos para garantizar la

En cada establo de Jersey se est
generalizando el uso de separadores
de slidos y lquidos. El propsito
de este mtodo es la separacin de
slidos solubles, fibra lavada y agua
del estircol. El agua se utiliza para
el riego de pastos y la fibra desecada
sirve para mejorar las tierras.
Del mismo modo, se dispone en sus

Pasteurizacin: Proceso mediante el
cual se calienta la leche a 72C durante
15 segundos y se vuelve a enfriar. La
leche, una vez pasteurizada, se conserva
en fro para garantizar su frescura.
Homogeneizacin: Es un proceso
destinado a romper el glbulo graso
en minsculas partculas de grasa. De
esta manera, la grasa no tender a subir
a la superficie del lquido y quedar
dispersa por ste, dando un rico sabor

 BACARDI LIMITED TRAZA UN CAMINO SLIDO EN EL
DESARROLLO DE UN FUTURO SUSTENTABLE
La empresa privada de bebidas espirituosas ms grande del mundo ha revelado ambiciosas
iniciativas ambientales a las cuales han titulado Good Spirited con especficas metas en
empaques, fuentes y operaciones para el 2022.

E
n todos los pases en los que
Bacard Limited hace nego-
cios, la sustentabilidad no es
algo que se considera nece-
sario, sino que se espera que se lleve
a cabo con un plan especfico. Es por
esto que en su aniversario 153 Bacard
ha revelado su ambicioso plan global de
sustentabilidad y responsabilidad social
corporativa.
Good Spirited: Construyendo un fu-
turo sustentable, se ha lanzado en ms
de 150 mercados en los que Bacard
tiene presencia, incluyendo ms de 75
oficinas y 27 plantas de manufactura y
embotellado.
Desde 2006 Bacard Limited ha ido
mapeando el impacto ambiental y, a
partir de estas mediciones, ha reduci-
do en un 25% el uso de energa y de
agua en un 54%. Algunos proyectos
de sustentabilidad incluyen el uso del
aire como fuente de poder en la planta
de rones BACARD en Puerto Rico;
tratado de agua para la limpieza de
barricas; reciclaje de barricas para el
uso ambiental; cambio de combus-
tible de gasolina a hidro energa en
la planta de vermouths MARTINI
ubicada en Italia; transformacin
de sobras y desechos botnicos en
fertilizantes. As mismo, la creacin
de energa eficiente en Escocia en las
plantas de los whiskies DEWARS y
WILLIAM LAWSONS. En Inglate-
rra, en la planta de produccin de la
ginebra BOMBAY, se ha rescatado
un espacio arquitectnico histrico
convirtindolo en una destilera verde,
certificada por el uso de boilers de
biomasa e hidro electricidad como
fuentes de poder.
La plataforma de sustentabilidad de
Bacard Limited fortalece el liderazgo
de la compaa en mbitos de Respon-
sabilidad Social Corporativa, y plantea
nuevas metas en tres especficas reas:
Materia Prima Responsable: Bacard
se esfuerza da con da por obtener
materiales y empaques de fuentes sus-
tentables, materiales reciclados o semi-
nuevos, siempre y cuando mantengan
los estndares de calidad necesarios para
la compaa.
Empaques Globales: Bacard se com-
promete en el uso de eco diseos para
crear sustentabilidad por medio de los
empaques y materiales PDV. Para el
2017, Bacard planea reducir el peso
de sus empaques en un 10% y alcanzar
15% para el 2022. Bacard colabora
con todos sus socios estratgicos y de
negocio para hacer que los empaques
sean amigables con el medio ambiente.
Eficiencias en Operaciones: Bacard
est enfocado en la reduccin de agua y
emisiones de gas (GHG) con una meta
para el 2017 de bajar los consumos de
agua en un 55% y de emisiones GHG
en un 50%. Bacard Limited es la nica
empresa global de bebidas espirituosas
certificada, con reconocimiento inter-
nacional, creado por Occupational
Health & Safety Advisory Services
(OHSAS) y la International Orga-
nizations for Standardization (ISO).
Para Bacard, sustentabilidad es sinni-
mo de buenos negocios, una filosofa
que se remonta a sus orgenes y a la
forma de pensar de su fundador, Don
Facundo Bacard Mass.

Sustainable packaging Insights

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.

Sustainable packaging is a relatively new addition to the environmental considerations for

packaging (see Packaging and labeling). It requires more analysis and documentation to look at
the package design, choice of materials, processing, and life-cycle. This is not just the vague
"green movement" that many businesses and companies have been trying to include over the
past years.

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.

 For Pmmi, New Media Group Is About More Than Publications

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.

PMMI Announces Purchase of Summit Media Group, Inc.

PMMI Annual Meeting; Rosemont, Illinois; Sept. 16, 2014 - PMMI, The Association for Packaging and
Processing Technologies, owner and producer of the PACK EXPO portfolio of trade shows, has entered
into an agreement to purchase Summit Media Group, Inc., publisher of Packaging World, Automation
World, Healthcare Packaging and Contract Packaging. The sale is expected to conclude in late October,
according to PMMI Chairman Bill Crist, CEO, Kliklok-Woodman, who delivered the announcement at
PMMI's Annual Meeting today.

"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.

PMMI Buys Summit Media

Publisher-association relationships arent foreign to the B2B world, but they rarely go this far.
PMMI, a trade group for packaging and processing technologies, has agreed to purchase
Summit Media Group, a publisher with five titles in the same space.
Terms werent disclosed, though the deal is expected to close next month. Summit staff and
leadership will become employees of the association, with operations remaining headquartered
in Chicago.
The deal immediately gives PMMI, producer of five trade shows, an established year-round,
multi-platform connection to its audiencesomething the company had been exploring on its
own for the last 18 months, says Charles D. Yuska, president and CEO of PMMI.
A robust publishing and multimedia presence will be the foundation of our efforts to build a
year-round audience for our tradeshows and other products, he says. Building a platform
would take several years and a significant financial investment with no guarantee of success.
On the other hand, purchasing an existing, successful entity would mean much greater speed to
market and a faster return on our financial investment.
While integration on the marketing front is a central part of the deal, show sales will continue on
separately from media sales for now, Yuska says, though cross-platform buys will be available.
The merger makes PMMIs own magazine, PMT, redundant however. Itll be absorbed into
Summits title, Packaging World.

faced when it decided to expand its digital presence. The answer hinged on the groups ability to find a
complementary partner.

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?

Packaging World to present packaging buying cycle research

Summit Media Groups VP Digital & Custom Media Dave Newcorn will present on the topic of the
packaging buying cycle at The Packaging Conference 2014, February 3-5 in Orlando, FL.

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.

Packages that need a makeover

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.

Kettle chip bag

The issue. You need a strong but delicate touch to pull the bag open without causing it to split apart and
spill chips.
The companys response. Its always great to hear from a fan. We want you to know that we are always
looking to improve based on feedback from our consumers. Then the company offered us coupons.

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.

Gold Medal Flour

The issue. The flour is tightly packed into a delicate paper sack thats tricky to handle without tearing or
making a mess.
The companys response. Its very classic and the way its always been, a customer-service rep said.
And flour is an openly traded commodity. We dont make much money on it.

Summit Media Group Names New CEO

Summit Media Group has named Joseph Angel its president and CEO. He takes over for co-founder
Lloyd Ferguson who will remain as a consultant after heading the company for 20 years.
Angel (pictured) has been with the b-to-b publisher, events producer and custom media provider since its
opening in 1993, and continues as publisher of Packaging World and Contract Packaging. Packaging
World is the largest of the companys five publications with a monthly circulation of more than 65,000 and
about 74,000 monthly unique website visits, per BPA.
"Were going to keep on the course were on," Angel says. "We will continue to adapt and continue to
invest in our digital media properties, as well as sustain our print, but we dont see any big changes."
Angel cites the companys recent Playbook projects as an element of the business that hed like to
continue to develop moving forward.
The initiative, started two years ago, serves exclusive how-to content on a specific project or topic to
readers. Readers must fill out an in-depth questionnaire about their own project needs-things like goals,
budgets and timelines-to get access to the content. That detailed breakdown of each consumers needs
gets forwarded to sponsors of the Playbook.
"Its been an incredible product for us," he says. "The sponsors get these intelligence reports that show
them someone is actively pursuing a project."
Aside from focusing on Playbook production, Angel says the company would like to increase its emphasis
on video, rolling out series across each of its five brands.

Summit Media Sees Bright Future in Lead-Gen Tech, Custom Content

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.

minonline: What makes it one click technology?

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.

minonline: And if you choose not to agree to release your information?

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.

minonline: That represents what percentage of Summit Medias revenue?

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.

minonline: And where does print fit in?

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 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.

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.

Personal Care Packaging Market Headed for Growth and Global

Expansion
Follow PMMI on Twitter: @PMMIorg
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Personal Care Packaging Market Headed for Growth and Global Expansion
PMMIs latest study explores personal care packaging trends; PACK EXPO Las Vegas and Pharma
EXPO 2015 deliver solutions.
Reston, Va.; May 6, 2015 A new market assessment report from PMMI, The Association for Packaging
and Processing Technologies, the owner and producer of PACK EXPO Las Vegas and Pharma EXPO
2015 (Sept. 2830; Las Vegas Convention Center), predicts 5.5 percent annual growth for the global
personal care packaging market through 2019. Personal Care Market Assessment also examines global
trends, drivers and opportunities from the choice of materials to operations.
Growth in formats and materials
Bottles account for 30 percent of the market and are expected to grow an additional 28 percent through
2019, making them the most commonly used container format in this market. Cartons are catching up,
however, showing the greatest growth from 20102014 from 9 to 19 percent of the market. As for
materials, plastic is the most popular for personal care packaging, accounting for 61 percent of materials
used. PMMIs study projects plastic will remain dominant, growing 12 percent by 2019.

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
exhibitors across more than 800,000 net square feet of exhibit space. This industry-leading event
provides access to the latest processing and packaging technologies, opportunity for cross-pollinating
ideas across industries, networking with peers and suppliers and insights from a diverse range of
educational programming.
PACK EXPO Las Vegas will showcase ideas and technologies for handling these and other
developments, with The Brand Zone spotlighting containers and materials innovations. To register for

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

OpX Leadership Network Releases Guide to Increased Productivity

Through Workforce Engagement

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."
OpX Leadership Network is the new name of the former Alliance for Innovation and Operational
Excellence (AIOE), founded by PMMI in 2011 to help CPGs and original equipment manufacturers solve
common operational challenges, make smarter decisions and achieve operational excellence.
Available for download now at OpXLeadershipNetwork.org, the report guides readers through the
concepts of empowerment, enablement and connection to create an engaged workforce.
About OpX Leadership Network

community of manufacturing, engineering and operations professionals dedicated to operational
excellence. Through open dialogue between CPG manufacturers and OEMs, OpX Leadership Network

Complexity of E-Commerce Supply Chain Raises the Stakes for

Manufacturers

Complexity of E-Commerce Supply Chain Raises the Stakes for Manufacturers

PMMI study examines packaging challenges prompted by growing U.S. e-commerce market; PACK
EXPO presents solutions
Reston, Va.; May 26, 2015 With 131,447 U.S. businesses selling their products online, revenues near
$298 billion and an annual growth rate close to 6 percent, the e-commerce supply chains growing volume
is complemented by increased complexity, according to the E-Commerce Market Assessment published
this year by PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies, the owner and producer
of the PACK EXPO portfolio of trade shows. With jumps in volume and complexity, however, come
challenges manufacturers must address. PMMI also produced an infographic highlighting the studys key
findings, now available at packexpolasvegas.com.
Keep the Product Safe
Replacing a destroyed item can cost up to 17 times as much as shipping, and overcoming negative online
reviews stemming from such an incident can take months. Each step in the delivery chain only increases
the risk of damage to packages and that makes engineering essential. Ultimately, manufacturers must
ensure packaging remains undamaged throughout the delivery process, regardless of the shipping
scenario. Another, related challenge is eased with the effective use of warehouse management systems,
which help make rightsizing feasible.
Constant Communications Count
Strong communication with third-party retailers is another critical factor for manufacturers overcoming the
complications of the e-commerce supply chain. Frequent communication can bridge disconnects that lead
to consumer dissatisfaction. For example, when brand owners plan significant changes to primary
packaging, they should work with their third-party retailers to take current inventory and marketing into
account so the consumer experience is in sync with the marketing.
Secondary Packaging is Prime Marketing Space
Product marketing on packages presents another challenge: Distinct differences of opinion. Marketers
want packaging to reflect their brand and even advertise products; operations and engineering question
the value of branded packaging post-purchase; and logistics professionals face looming concerns of theft.
These disagreements can present significant hurdles, but compromises can be found through tactics such
as discreet branding and product advertisements on secondary packaging.
Professionals across a wide variety of vertical market segments can find the latest information and
technologies to tackle the challenges associated with the growth of e-commerce at PACK EXPO Las
Vegas and Pharma EXPO 2015 (Las Vegas Convention Center; September 2830, 2015). The shows
first co-location in Las Vegas will draw 30,000 attendees to see 2,000 exhibitors showcase a variety of
equipment and material solutions across more than 800,000 net square feet of exhibit space. This
record-breaking event will offer attendees opportunities to see the latest packaging and processing
technologies, cross-pollinate ideas and innovation across industries, network with peers and suppliers,
and gain insights from a diverse range of educational programming.

Amazing Packaging Race Returns to Las Vegas with ASCO Numatics

Back in the Sponsors Seat

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.

EXPO PACK to Alternate Locations Annually

Reston, Va.; June 16, 2015 The 30th Anniversary edition of EXPO PACK Mxico opened with the
announcement that show producer PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies,
will alternate its two Mexican shows every other year starting in 2017. EXPO PACK Mxico 2016, (Mexico
City, Centro Banamex) will take place May 1720, 2016, while EXPO PACK Guadalajara (Expo
Guadalajara) moves to June 1315, 2017.
"2015 proved EXPO PACK Guadalajara has grown beyond a regional event," says Gerardo Barajas,
director of EXPO PACK. Due to the continuing growth in the packaging and machinery markets in
Western Mexico, it was time to bring the same types of resources offered in Mexico City to Guadalajara.
Long recognized as one of the leading agro-industrial areas in Mexico, additional industrial growth in the
State of Jalisco positions it as the nations second largest manufacturing center. Currently, the regions
diverse offerings make it the number one producer of electronics, telecommunications, confections,
Agave/tequila, leather, jewelry, milk poultry, pork and eggs.
Jalisco is the heart of West Central Mexico, a region that accounts for 20 percent of Mexicos GDP and
includes the states of Aguascalientes, Colima, Guanajuato, Michoacn, Nayarit, San Luis Potosi, Sinaloa
and Zacatecas. EXPO PACK Guadalajara will draw attendees from throughout the region looking for the
latest technology to meet their growing demands.
"With so much industry in the region, companies are looking for solutions providers to keep them
competitive in the marketplace," says Barajas. "EXPO PACK Guadalajara plans to bring it to them."
The 2015 success of EXPO PACK Guadalajara proved to PMMI that the market was large enough to
serve more than a regional show. In 2017, its objective will be to more than double the size and scope of
EXPO PACK Guadalajara to over 7,500 sq. meters and 12,000 visitors, with the goal to grow in size and
scope comparable to the Mexico City event.

Pharma EXPO Addresses Regulatory Trends

Reston, Va.; Aug. 11, 2015 In just over two years, pharmaceutical manufacturers must meet the Nov.
27, 2017, deadline of the Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA), which requires unique product
identifiers on certain prescription drug packages. This measure is part of 2013s Title II of the Drug Quality
and Security Act (DQSA), a 10-year rollout of steps to prevent the counterfeiting of drugs distributed in the
United States. To help pharmaceutical manufacturers comply with this and other regulations, Pharma
EXPO 2015 (Sept. 2830; Las Vegas Convention Center) will provide access to advanced solutions for
the entire pharmaceutical lifecycle and a wide range of educational opportunities.

The Drug Supply Chain Security Act, along with other pharmaceutical regulations worldwide, places an
increased emphasis on serialization and the interoperability of systems along the supply chain and in the
pharmaceutical production process, says Tom Egan, vice president, Industry Services, PMMI. It is
important for affected pharmaceutical manufacturers to ensure they are equipped to meet these new
requirements and protect their supply chains and patients against counterfeiters.
To help attendees keep up with the new provisions and address the challenges they bring forth, Pharma
EXPO will provide excellent educational opportunities, including free 30-minute presentations at the
Innovation Stage (Booth N-559). These sessions, conveniently located on the show floor, will present the
latest information on breakthrough technologies and techniques for the pharmaceutical industry.

International Powerhouses Announce Launch of ProFood Tech

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.

Reston, Va.; Sept. 16, 2015 Keeping up with the latest consumer trends, staying on top of safety and
freshness concerns and moving your product from concept to plant to market these are just a few of
the challenges protein and food processors face every day. Theyre also a few of the challenges that can

produced by PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies, PACK EXPO is the
largest and most comprehensive event of its kind this year, and will host 30,000 attendees and over 2,000
exhibitors in more than 800,000 net square feet of exhibit space.

Confectionery Manufacturers Find a Sweet Spot at PACK EXPO Las

Vegas
Reston, Va.; Sept. 16, 2015 According to research from PMMI, The Association for Packaging and
Processing Technologies, consumer wellness concerns, food safety and other health and safety
concerns, are among the biggest drivers steering the confectionery industry today (Confectionery Trends
Market Assessment, Sept. 2013).
Confectioners can find a variety of approaches to address these market forces at PACK EXPO Las Vegas
2015 (Las Vegas Convention Center, Sept. 28-30), owned and produced by PMMI. The show, the largest
and most comprehensive of its kind this year, will host 30,000 attendees and over 2,000 exhibitors in
more than 800,000 net square feet of exhibit space.
In addition to focusing on consumer trends, confectionery professionals need to be up to speed on the
Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), which has changed the way you have to approach food safety
during the manufacturing process. PACK EXPO will provide access to suppliers and education that will
make compliance easier, says Jim Pittas, senior vice president, PMMI.

North America, LLC. There is so much value in having this opportunity to talk with those experiencing the
same issues as I and sharing insights to overcome those challenges.
The Candy Bar Lounge (Booth S-7900) will host a reception on Tuesday, Sept. 29, from 3:30 p.m. to 5
p.m. The event offers confectionery industry attendees networking time with subject matter experts and

Bakers Find New Ways to Respond To Operational Demands &

Consumer Trends at PACK EXPO Las Vegas
Reston, Va.; Sept. 16, 2015 Research published by Mintel this summer described snacking as a
round-the-clock habit for Americans. While at least 94 percent snack at least once a day (up from 64
percent in 2014), Millennials are apparently the grazing generation, reporting at least four snacks a day.
Theyre craving convenience, according to Mintel, in the form of single-serve and reclosable packages.
PACK EXPO Las Vegas 2015 (Las Vegas Convention Center, Sept. 28-30), owned and produced by
PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies, will open up a wealth of
opportunities for baking-snack brand owners to tackle trends with tools such as automation to improve
productivity, flexibility and efficiency, labeling systems that enhance flexibility and sustainability, and
containers and materials to preserve freshness, reduce waste and enhance branding.
PACK EXPO Las Vegas will host 30,000 attendees and over 2,000 exhibitors in more than 800,000 net
square feet of exhibit space.
In addition to focusing on consumer trends, baking-snack professionals need to be up to speed on the

educational seminars and be available for one-on-one consultations.
The Baking & Snack Break Lounge (Booth S-7427), hosted by the Biscuit & Cracker Manufacturers
Association (B&CMA) is a key on-floor destination for strengthening connections. The beauty of this
central meeting point is that bakers and snack manufacturers can network with experts and peers
addressing similar trends and challenges and find answers, notes Dave Van Laar, president, B&CMA.
PACK EXPO is a vital part of our outreach to bakers and suppliers, says Van Laar. We not only provide
a place for bakers to network, rest and regroup, well also assist many of them in finding solutions to
specific issues.
B&CMA will host a reception for bakers and snack manufacturers at The Baking & Snack Break Lounge

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

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.

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

PMMI Report Finds Flexible Packaging Market Nearing Maturity

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PMMI Report Finds Flexible Packaging Market Nearing Maturity

One-third of end users expect to increase their use of flexible packaging over the next five years
PACK EXPO Las Vegas, Sept. 28, 2015 A new report from PMMI, The Association for Packaging and
Processing Technologies, finds that the flexible packaging industry projected to reach $32.7 billion in
2015 is approaching maturity and can expect to see healthy growth and stability.
The 2015 Flexible Packaging Market Assessment Report draws on in-depth interviews with end users,
materials suppliers and other industry experts who weighed in on the future of flexible packaging.
Over two-thirds (68 percent) of end user companies interviewed expect to purchase new equipment,
modify existing equipment or buy used equipment to accommodate flexible packaging.
Thirty-three percent of end users expect to increase their use of flexible packaging (vs. rigid materials)
over the next five years; however, 61 percent expect the ratio of flexible to rigid packaging to remain the
same during that time frame. In this category, 40 percent of the companies use flexible packaging for
upwards of 90 percent of their products.
Food products use the most flexible packaging, leading all vertical industries with 57 percent usage of
flexible packaging compared to rigid, followed by the pharmaceutical industry at 31 percent. The
beverage industry uses 25 percent flexible packaging, while 2 percent of household products are currently
in flexible packaging.
The promise of cost reductions and greater strides in sustainability remain significant incentives for
consumer goods manufacturers to choose flexible packaging. Downgauging to thinner, lighter packaging
reduces the amount of source materials, and flexible packaging's high product-to-package ratio and light
weight offer allow more units to fit into a shipment and require fewer shipments for the same amount of
product. This reduces shipping costs as well as greenhouse gas emissions.
An infographic illustrating key findings is now available on packexpolasvegas.com. Stop by the PMMI
booth in the Central Lobby for a copy of the executive summary or visit PMMI.org for the full Flexible
Packaging Market Assessment Report ($500 for non-members).

Fast Changing Consumer Preferences Create Opportunities for

Growth and Innovation
on, Va.; Nov. 24, 2015 The impact of changing and diversifying consumer demands were key
takeaways from the 2015 State of the Industry: U.S. Packaging Machinery Report, shared by PMMI, The
Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies, at PACK EXPO Las Vegas 2015. The study
highlighted these shifts toward on-the-go and clean-label products while, more than ever, brand owners
must also tackle the challenges associated with a growing variety of consumer preferences. As these
companies plan ahead for a successful 2016, PMMI provides an unbroken connection among the
processing and packaging communities.

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.
