Packaging Consulting Firm Launches New Company to Stop Finger Pointing

Lake Zurich, IL – CEO Corp has launched a new division, High Performance Packaging Group, dedicated to providing “best in class” shop floor productivity solutions to its clients, including flexible film products/carton materials and technical services.

Over the past 25 years, CEO Corp, an automated packaging consultant serving food and non-food manufacturers, has helped many different types of plants--ranging from a single production line to large consumer packaged goods conglomerates--increase their efficiencies and reduce their downtime. As the technical staff of CEO Corp have worked side-by-side with machine operators and maintenance mechanics, they heard them voice their frustrations. 

“My film supplier claims that the line won’t run because of the equipment.  But my machine manufacturer says that the film is the problem. How do I know who to believe?” 

Responding to customer frustrations, CEO Corp has created a new division, High Performance Packaging Group (HP-Packaging) to address the finger-pointing.  They offer a complete solution that stops the blame game.  With HP-Packaging, there’s no more guessing on whether to call the film supplier or the equipment manufacturer to get the line problems resolved.  “It’s just one call us,” says HP-Packaging’s President, Ron Crews.  “We care only about getting our customers’ lines running to PEAK performance levels—whether their issues require new film structures, performance improvement technical services, troubleshooting, machine repair, or training.  “We add real value to a manufacturer’s operation and make a real difference.”

HP-Packaging has launched a new website at www.hp-packaging.com to explain the performance advantage they can offer manufacturers.  First, HP-Packaging begins working with a manufacturer or contract packager by looking at the whole picture--assessing the existing equipment and the applications that are running.  Then, by drawing on their years of experience with various film structures and packaging materials, they search for the best solution for the manufacturer’s current environment. 

Upon delivery of the film to the shop floor, HP-Packaging arrives to test and evaluate.  “Once we’re satisfied with the initial performance, we move into optimization mode where we fine-tune the equipment to achieve the highest, sustainable performance levels that are possible,” says Crews.  “All the while, we inform and train the operators and maintenance staff on how to sustain the new productivity gains.”
