Tell us about your background and how you got into the packaging industry.

I started my career in the automotive industry with experience in human resources and procurement. I made the transition to packaging through a friend who convinced me to join the team at Fogg Filler, an OEM of bottle filling and capping machinery. Spartan Logo

I started in the procurement department at Fogg learning the products, then transitioned to be the operations manager for Spartan Parts, a division of Fogg Filler, focusing on machine retrofits and upgrades. The transition from automotive to packaging was the best decision I have ever made for my career. It has been fun, challenging, and very fulfilling being under ProMach, learning the industry and understanding all the offerings in the packaging world.
