‘The Packaging Supply Chain’ is the theme of this year’s forum.

Rick Fox, Vice Chairman of the Packaging Machinery Manufacturers Institute (PMMI) board of directors, will be part of the packaging, filling and processing panel.

Phil Biggs, National Sales and Marketing Manager for forum sponsor Matthews Intelligent Identification, says, “It’s a very comprehensive line-up: beginning with innovation and design, and going right through to shelf-ready and consumer packaging.”

Rick Fox and Phil Biggs are among 21 experts to speak at the forum.

Rick Fox began FOX IV more than 25 years ago as a business unit within Matthews International Corporation. The business began by producing barcode film masters for the printing industry and soon expanded into automated labelling equipment and label converting.

He has written and presented papers at many technical conferences and has extensive experience in integrating auto ID technology systems into complex manufacturing and warehouse/distribution environments.
