Combi Packaging Systems, LLC, a U.S. manufacturer of end-of-line packaging equipment, is pleased to announce the hire of Mike Cargill as Director of Technical Services and Aftermarket Support.
Mike joins Combi from the automotive industry, with broad experience ranging from precision manufacturing to high-volume manufacturing and distribution. In his new role, Mike’s primary focus will be on customer success and implementing world-class programs to help customers improve their efficiencies and reduce costs, particularly as the world of automation, including end-of-line packaging, continues to evolve.
Among his responsibilities will be leading the field service, technical support, training and spare parts functions, in addition to continuously improving value-added services for Combi customers related to Preventive Maintenance, Predictive Maintenance and Service Level Agreements. Mike and his team will work closely to extend Combi’s value proposition beyond set-up and training by expanding Combi’s capabilities, and empowering customers to maintain and service their machinery beyond the warranty period.
“We are happy to welcome Mike to Combi, especially as we continue to grow and innovate to meet the ever-increasing demand for automation and turn-key solutions,” said Gary Starks, President and CEO of Combi Packaging Solutions. “He is a results-driven leader who brings broad industrial experience, as well as a dedication to quality and customer satisfaction, which are critical building blocks as we continue to deliver custom packaging solutions to our customers.”
"I am excited to join Combi’s leadership team at such a pivotal moment for both the company and the industry," said Cargill. "As customers face many different challenges in their industries, packaging automation provides enormous benefits, and Combi’s commitment to support our customer’s operations by providing training, technical support, field service, and uptime programs is something customers need and value. I look forward to collaborating with my team to ensure that this increase in demand and technology reflects the same level of quality and customer satisfaction that Combi is known for.”
A native of Los Angeles, Cargill holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Management and Marketing, as well as a Master of Business Administration, both from Western Governors University, Millcreek, Utah. A resident of Canton, Ohio, he is a patron of the local arts community and spends his free time keeping bees, as well as renovating his 19th century home.
The addition of Mike to the CombiNation reinforces the company’s commitment to being a comprehensive solution provider, solidifying its position as an industry leader in innovation, value and customer service. This move aligns with the company’s dedication to solving customer’s EOL packaging challenges by expanding its portfolio of solutions.
Combi recently announced the expansion of its end-of-line packaging automation solutions with the introduction of Siat’s world-class load containment products. The BeeWrap+™, an advanced mobile, robotic, semi-automatic stretch wrapper, along with the OneWrap and ProWrap+ are the first Siat® product range directly marketed in North America under the Combi® brand.
