The creation of PMG includes the integration of the staff of the former Summit Media Group and their decades of knowledge and experience into the PMMI family, with PMG’s editorial department continuing to operate independently out of its current Chicago offices.
A year-round home for the processing and packaging community, PMMI Media Group’s leading-edge media technologies function as an interactive knowledge exchange for the processing and packaging supply chain, providing platforms for subject-matter experts to collaborate, solve problems and share solutions in real time. In addition to its world-class publications — Packaging World, Automation World, Healthcare Packaging, Contract Packaging and the newly launched Packaging + Processing OEM—PMG offers playbooks and interactive media to engage audiences and foster communication throughout the industry.
“PMMI Media Group strengthens PMMI by supporting our PACK EXPO tradeshows, adding a critical asset to our portfolio of member resources and providing new channels through which we can communicate and serve as the thought leader in the industry,” says PMMI President and CEO Charles D. Yuska. “PMG is a 365-day-a-year community that expands tradeshow engagement and connects solution providers and end-users helping them to improve their business.”
“We’re very excited to incorporate the global PMMI brand within the Media Group name,” says Joseph Angel, President, PMMI Media Group. “We have made tremendous progress since the November 1st acquisition and we have only scratched the surface in aligning the PMG products and services to offer year-round engagement for the packaging community. Our portfolio of exclusive tools – world-class events, business intelligence, education and workforce development resources – will help companies in the packaging and processing supply chain discover best practices and grow their businesses.”
Established as a result of an association-wide desire for a multimedia resource to better curate and disseminate PMMI’s assets, and a platform that connects the supply chain throughout the year, PMG immediately has the largest digital footprint in the industry.
“This new multimedia platform is not only the best in the business from a technology standpoint, but its collection and variety of resources will have the eyes and ears of packaging and processing throughout the year,” says PMMI Chairman Bill Crist, CEO, Kliklok-Woodman. “The robust platform PMG brings to the table will enhance our ability to serve as the convening authority of the processing and packaging industry.”
PMG’s print and online publications are proven leaders in covering the diverse segments of the packaging marketplace; and the newly launched Packaging + Processing OEM reinforces its leadership in the processing sector.
