One answer, one solution

Companies want to offer the total complete solution. That phrase is all you hear around the vast halls of the Las Vegas Convention Center at Pack Expo.
Just listen to Mark Matthews, vice president of packaging at xpedx.
“We are one of the few companies that can look across the entire industry continuum from packaging idea to implementation,” Matthews said. “We start with the big picture in mind, and when working with companies, we try to begin as far upstream as possible in the design process.”
Troy Vanderhoof, director of business strategy at Siemens’ newly acquired UGS, talks about shepherding product from one single source.
“We want to watch the product from the concept stage all the way through to completion,” he said.
Jarrett Campbell, segment manager for production machinery OEMs at Schneider Electric, talks about how he works toward reaching the right solution for end users.
“Manufacturers have very few specialists; no experts on staff,” he said.
“We want to work with partners to build a successful solution.”
