Uhlmann Packaging Systems Appoints Robert Pollick as Product Manager for Bottle Packaging Systems

In this role, Pollick is responsible for creating and growing awareness and demand for Uhlmann's acclaimed lines of bottle packaging machinery.

The announcement comes in conjunction with increased customer interest in Uhlmann's latest bottling machine, the modular Integrated Bottle Packaging Center (IBC) 120 for all solid dose products. With no micro-stops, no ramp-up time and the ability to quickly complete changeovers, the IBC-120 reliably packages diverse small- to medium-sized batches at a rate of up to 150 bottles, or 24,000 tablets or capsules, per minute. The machine enjoyed a successful North American debut at September's PACK EXPO conference.

Pollick has more than 30 years of experience in the pharmaceutical bottle labeling applications sector. Prior to joining Uhlmann, he served for 15 years in managerial positions with Weiler Labeling Systems of Moorestown, NJ, where he rose to the title of Sales Manager with overall responsibility for company sales. At Uhlmann, Pollick will be based on the Gulf Coast of Florida.

"This is the right time to bring in a professional as experienced and with as impressive a list of accomplishments as Robert does in pharmaceutical bottling," said Dirk Corsten, Managing Director of Uhlmann Packaging Systems L.P. "His joining the team here at Uhlmann will undoubtedly help us build toward a successful 2012."
