New sales manager appointed at PTI Packaging Systems

PTI Packaging Systems’ new Sales Manager, Mark V. (Sparky) Ewing, will be responsible for stick pack and pre-made pouch packaging machinery.

Ewing brings more than 25 years experience within the primary and secondary packaging machinery industry to PTI. An original team member at Belcor, most recently, he was director of sales and marketing at Wexxar Packaging and Pearson Packaging Systems. “I am thrilled to be a part of the dynamic team at PTI”, Ewing said. “Packagers today face many challenges. Whether it’s a new product or one in the market for years, manufacturers are seeking new and better packaging solutions. Packaging in stick packs or pouches utilizes less material than cartons, jars, bottles, or cans. These package styles are rapidly gaining popularity with consumers across numerous markets. I’m confident this growth trend will continue in North America.” Jeffrey Crangle, general manager of the PTI Packaging Systems group, commented, “We are delighted to have Mark join PTI. Mark brings a long history of value based selling within the food, beverage, pharmaceutical, personal care and chemical manufacturing/processing market segments. His background and working knowledge of VFFS and HFFS, is exceptional. “
