If you’re looking for ways to increase the speed and efficiency of your repacking operations, plan to attend a Webcast Sept. 9 on customized contract packaging services. The one-hour Webcast, “Bringing Semiautomation to Repacking” and presented by Contract Packaging and Packaging World magazines, will begin at 1 p.m. CST.
The three speakers will be Michael Bilton, national customization manager at PepsiCo; Juan Ortiz, vice president-business development at XPAK (www.xpakusa.com), and Kirk Fischer, president at Jacobson Packaging and Manufacturing Co. (www.jacobsonco.com).
Bilton, Ortiz, and Fischer will explore the opportunities and challenges associated with PepsiCo’s repacking project that aims to economically semiautomate portions of the repacking process on multipacks of Gatorade. PepsiCo’s pilot project was detailed in an article (read it at www.packworld.com/article-27366) in the March/April issue of Contract Packaging, and the speakers will provide a status update and results of their pilot project.
The Webcast will be held with the support of the Contract Packaging Association (www.contractpackaging.org).
