Give Flexible Packaging It's Due

October 15, 2009

Flexible packaging will return to growth in 2011 | www.europeanplasticsnews.com

Flexible packaging and convenience are converging at a staggering rate. Demands for greener packaging bodes well for flexible packaging as does the fact that there is no dominant supplier to the market. Seeking the path of least resistance by cannibalizing traditional packaging formats rather than waiting for better economic conditions is the fast track for flexible packaging.

SPX Seized the Window of Opportunity

February 27, 2008

SPX sees 2008 profit up on global energy demand | www.reuters.com

SPX`s acquisition of APV is a fine example of a strategic power play to gain market share from formable giants the likes of Tetra-Laval and GEA.  Timely executed the strategy takes advantage of a recognized need for higher heat exchanger efficiencies and an increase of installed base.  The deployment of the strategy included the recruitment of ex Alfa-Laval Global General Manger Market Unit for Vegetable Oil Technology, Charles Ruben, a commendable manoeuvre.
