PMMI ADDS 12 NEW MEMBERS

PMMI's Board of Directors met April 5, 2008, and added 12 new companies to the PMMI membership. The new members were balanced evenly among membership categories, with four companies each in the Materials, Components and Machinery categories. The Board of Directors meeting was held in conjunction with PMMI's Executive Leadership Conference (Indian Wells, Calif.; April 6 -10).

“PMMI's membership has grown in all three of its segments, extending PMMI's efforts to grow as a comprehensive resource for the packaging industry," said PMMI President/CEO Charles D. Yuska.
