Dorner and KHS are both long time members of PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies, a trade association comprising more than 700 packaging and processing related member companies throughout North America.
“Over the last 20 years, our business has transitioned from a company that primarily served traditional manufacturing, specifically metalworking, to a business that serves primary and secondary packaging and food processing,” says Matt Jones, VP Sales and Marketing and PMMI Industry Relations Committee Member. “Our growth in both the packaging and food processing markets mirrors the growth of PMMI over the last 20 years.”
Hosting the Annual Meeting is the culmination of Dorner’s 16 –plus years of membership in the association. Rich Ryan, Dorner’s former President and CEO as well as a PMMI board member, was committed to hosting the Annual Meeting. Prior to his passing, Ryan set the wheels in motion to host this event, and the leadership team at Dorner has worked hard to achieve this goal. The success and industry commitment made by Ryan, the Dorner family, Dorner business leaders, and more than 200 team members will be on display for PMMI professionals to see on Tuesday, Sept. 20.
“This year marks Dorner’s 50th year in business, and our leadership team welcomes the opportunity to showcase our manufacturing facility and practices during a plant tour for fellow PMMI members,” says Terry Schadeberg, President and CEO, Dorner Mfg. Corp.
KHS USA, a global company with a beverage focus, is a natural co-host partner for Dorner, as the two plants are separated by a mere 15 miles.
“As one of the leading international suppliers of filling and packaging systems for the beverage industry, KHS focuses on quality, customer service, and innovation. KHS is thrilled to be able to demonstrate our commitment to those values during a tour of our facility at PMMI’s 2016 Annual Meeting,” says Mike Brancato, President, KHS USA.
