2016 – A Year of Growth and Connections for PMMI

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Paul Irvine, PMMI Chairman; CEO, PrintPack, Inc

Growth opportunities and new connections guided PMMI’s success in 2016. PACK EXPO International broke records as the world’s largest and most comprehensive processing and packaging show in 2016. We reaffirmed PMMI as the global resource for the processing and packaging supply chain by updating our by-laws and growing our membership to keep pace with an ever-evolving marketplace. We had record attendance at our member meetings.

The PMMI Media Group launched new brands like ProFood World to meet the needs of our expanding audience. And we made strides in bolstering the processing and packaging workforce with the launch of new initiatives like our NextGEN Networking event that connected students and employers, and the overwhelmingly successful Packaging & Processing Women’s Leadership Network breakfast that brought together nearly 600 women in the industry. We reached a major social media milestone with 10,000 twitter followers. Our financials are stronger than ever with the highest surplus from operations in PMMI’s history.

PMMI’s 2016 Highlights features achievements of the PACK EXPO Trade Shows, PMMI Media Group and PMMI Business Drivers. This easy-to-read summary showcases PMMI’s 2016 accomplishments and testimonials from members on how they used PMMI’s programs, services and events to help better their business.
