Adept's Packaging Solutions Business Unit is tasked with an important initiative at Adept — delivering standard, pre-engineered cells that perform specific packaging tasks. The group's first product, ClamPAC™, which gently packs clamshells into cases at high speeds, is being introduced at Pack Expo.
"By developing standardized, fully-integrated solutions that can be dropped into any packaging line, Adept's Packaging Solutions Business Unit is providing new value to its customers. Customers who have installed our first product, ClamPAC, have raved about its ease of deployment and ease of use along with its gentle handling and reliability," said John Boutsikaris, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Adept. "This new business unit is poised for growth, and Sam is ideally qualified to take the lead. He has the skills and experience to build on our success."
