PMMI's Board of Directors this week added 22 new companies to the PMMI membership.
The Spring 2011 class adds to all four membership types: four processing members, nine general members, three materials members and six supplier members. The April 3 Board of Directors meeting was held in conjunction with PMMI's Executive Leadership Conference.
"PMMI members are the leading companies in packaging and processing. The continued strength of the PMMI membership, particularly in the recently created processing category, is a testament to the value PMMI provides," says Charles D. Yuska, PMMI president & CEO . "These companies join because being a member furthers their market positions with access to business intelligence, networking opportunities and resources that can strengthen a business."
Applications for membership in all categories are online. Interested companies can contact PMMI Vice President, Industry Services, Tom Egan for further information: 703.243.8555 or tegan@pmmi.org.
