o packaging material has gotten as much bad publicity since the start of 21st Century as plastic—not even close. With plastics deemed to represent one of the biggest man-made threats to the health of our planet, it will take all of the global plastic industry’s knowledge, resources and will power in the coming decade to change the commodity’s prevailing current image of a direct menace to the global ecosystem and biodiversity. How we got all got here is largely irrelevant at this stage: the important thing is start working on pragmatic and practical solutions to provide timely and irrefutable evidence that plastic can be an important link in the vaunted Circular Economy of the near future, rather than an impassable obstacle to it. For global CPG (consumer packaged goods) brandowners with reliance on plastic packaging to market and merchandise their products, how well they cope with the global plastic emergency may well define their future, as the old “too big to fail” theory of market dominance and longevity will become irrelevant in coming years, as the millennial generation starts finding its feet in the emerging new world order. For these consumers, the LCA (life-cycle analysis) comparisons showing plastics to be more sustainable packaging options in terms of total carbon-footprint impact that also accounts for the product’s origin, sourcing, manufacturing, transportation et al counts for little compared to the lingering dilemma posed by plastic’s inability to biodegrade without a trace. And while material substitution may help some brands overcome negative public perception and increased regulatory scrutiny in the near term, it is

hardly a cure-all for all our environmental woes. That said, it is encouraging to see some leading global CPG lights heading in the right direction. A new report released at the start of the year by Chicago-based science and technology intelligence firm PreScouter identifies 10 globally-operating companies that have managed to make notable progress in how they recycle or reuse plastic waste to keep it from ending up in landfill or waterways. Prepared by three highly authoritative and credible Phd level researchers, the revealing study, titled Towards a Circular Economy: Zero-Waste Technologies & Initiatives, confirms that there is no one-size-fits-all solution for eliminating plastic litter and waste, but such f lexibility in addressing a common problem is largely a good thing. This includes Danone working with Re-Pal to recycle polypropylene water bottle labels into recyclable pallets; Veolia recycling PET plastic bottles to make new PET bottles and food packaging; Novolex upcycling plastic bags of all sorts into polyethylene pellets used to make new bags; Nestlé aiming to replace single-use plastics with refillable stainlesssteel containers; and H&M offering a garment recycling service for recycling clothes made from polyester, organic cotton and Tencel lyocell, as well as working with Repack to pilot a reusable packaging service for its e-commerce activities. While such efforts may seem too little too late in isolation, they can definitely add up to much more than the sum of their parts if these companies’ industry counterparts and peers join them on their journey towards Circular Economy—the sooner the better.

TRANSCONTINENTAL SELLS OFF NON-CORE ASSETS Montreal-based f lexible packaging powerhouse TC Transcontinental Packaging has completed the sale of its paper and woven polypropylene (PP) packaging operations to to Hood Packaging Corporation for US$180 million. Generating sales of US$215 million for the fiscal year ending Oct. 27, 2019, the sold assets include paper packaging operations and buildings in Sibley, Iowa, Hanford, Hazleton, Pa., and Tifton, Ga. Other sold assets include the paper and woven PP operations in Spartanburg,S.C., which also produces f lexible packaging, with Transcontinental retaining ownership of the building itself. About 415 employees will transfer to Hood Packaging as a result of the deal, which is related to Transcontinental’s US$1.3-billion takeover of Coveris Holdings S.A.’s Americas unit in 2018. “When we acquired Coveris Americas, we welcomed all of their assets and broad portfolio of products,” says Transcontinental’s president and chief executive officer François Olivier. (See Picture) “After operating the paper business for almost 18 months, we concluded that it is less core to our packaging sector’s growth strategy “As such, our decision to sell these assets is aligned with our plan to continue building our f lexible packaging platform, where we see good growth potential.” Adds Olivier: This transaction will enable us to deleverage our balance sheet faster than expected and give us the f lexibility to continue acquiring businesses that are more complementary to our existing f lexible packaging portfolio.” Operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hood Company Inc. of Madison, Miss., Hood Packaging now operates 23 manufacturing facilities in 16 states and provinces across North America, including its Canadian headquarters in Burlington, Ont. Employing about 2,350 people, the company makes plastic film and bags, woven PP bags, coated and laminated materials, and paper packaging to serve a broad range of industries that includes cement, grout and mortar; bakery and f lour, dairy, foodservice, frozen food, animal feed, lawn-and-garden, insulation, and shingle and roofing.

FRENCH FRIES GIANT ANNOUNCED $80-MILLION UPGRADE TO ITS GRAND FALLS POTATO PROCESSING OPERATIONS

The world’s biggest producer of frozen French fries McCain Foods (Canada) is planning to make its Canadian footprint bigger still with an $80-million expansion of its potato processing facility in Grand Falls, N.B. According to the Florenceville, N.B.-headquartered company, the bulk of that capital investment has been earmarked for installation of a new highly automated ‘Formed Potato Specialty’ production line featuring as state-of-the-art food safety, processing and packaging equipment. “Investing in the Grand Falls facility is a testament to the many successful partnerships McCain values with our local potato growers, employees and communities,” says McCain Foods Canada president Danielle Barran.” Expected to be operational by early 2021, the new line will add an estimated 80 new full-time jobs to the facility, according to McCain, while generating significant local economic spinoffs. “Based on the Grand Falls facility expansion, there will be demand for an additional 1,200 hectares (3,000 acres) of harvested potatoes by New Brunswick potato growers to supply the new high-speed Formed Potato Specialty line,” says Dale McCarthy, vice-president of Integrated Supply Chain for McCain Foods North America.

ICONIC CEREAL MAKER AIMS TO CRACK THE SNACKING SEGMENT In what may well be one the most overdue or belated market launches of all time, iconic breakfast cereal producer Kellogg Company has finally brought its venerable Cheez-It brand of cheese-flavored crackers to Canada last month— nearly 100 years after the brand was originally launched in the U.S. Considering that the average Canadian consumes an estimated 35 pound of cheese per year, the sudden launch of the cheesy bite-sized crackers—made with real cheese—is expected to fill a market niche that has been hiding in plain sight for an extraordinary length of time. Now available in Canadian grocery stores, convenience stores and gas stations, the CheezIt brand is currently offered in Canada in two formats and four flavors, including: • Cheez-It Crackers. Available in Original and Hot & Spicy varieties, these bite-sized snack crackers deliver an iconic ‘Big Cheese’ flavor, according to Kellogg, with their distinct shape with ridged edges making it “hip to be square.” • Cheez-It Crunch Crackers. Available in Sharp White Cheddar and Zesty Cheddar Ranch flavors, these rippled, chip-like textured snack crackers offer bold flavors with a satisfying crunch. “Based on initial consumer response, we know Canadians have been waiting a long time for this day, and we’re thrilled to finally bring Cheez-It’s uniquely craveable snack experience to the True North,” says Christine Jakovcic, vice-president of marketing and nutrition at Kellogg Canada Inc. in Mississauga, Ont. “For Cheez-It fans, their unwavering devotion is rooted in an obsession with real cheese,” Jakovcic adds, “and we couldn’t agree more. “We believe that real cheese matters, and that’s why it’s baked right into every bite for a flaky, crunchy satisfaction that you have to taste to believe. “Your snack bowl will never be the same,” says Jakovcic, citing the brand’s cult-like following in Canada among “enlightened Canadian snack connoisseurs” and its status as one of the most popular food brands purchased by Canadian cross-border shoppers. Packaged in bright-red folding cartons adorned with vibrant product photography and lively graphics designed by Anthem Canada, Toronto-based branch of global branding services provider Anthem of New York City, the Cheeze-It snacks are expected to gain a strong foothold in Canada’s estimated $2.3-billion combined category for salty snacks and crackers, according to Kelloggs Canada.

The new Syntegon flags in front of the company ‘s expanded global headquarters in Waiblingen, Germany.

nAfter months of speculation, packaging machinery manufacturing giant formerly known as Bosch Packaging Technology has formally changed its corporate name to Syntegon Technology last month as part of realignment prompted by the company’s sale to Luxembourg-based private equity group by CVC Capital Partners in July of 2019. Headquartered in Wilblingen, Germany, Syntegon Technology says it will continue to focus on the development of intelligent and on intelligent and sustainable technologies for the pharmaceutical and food industries, while extending its range of services. Employing 6,100 people at more than 30 locations worldwide, Syntegon Technologies posted sales of nearly $1.9 billion in 2019. According to the renamed company, rebranding itself under the Syntegon moniker was intended to project the company’s focus on synergy, technology and the future, with the green corporate logo underscoring the importance of sustainability and health. Structured as an independently operating enterprise, with its own IT and Purchasing departments, the company will be guided by its progressive corporate vision of “Processing and packaging technology for a better life,” according to chief executive officer Stefan König. “We are building on 150 years of experience and the 64,000 machines deployed by our customers, and pursuing new avenues of business,” König states. “More than ever before, we are working on intelligent and sustainable technologies and embracing the collaboration with our business partners in the true spirit of partnership,” adds König.

FIRST GLANCE GOING MOBILE

DOWN THE STRETCH

Capable of moving payloads of up to 250-kg, the new LD250 mobile robot from Omron Automation Americas features a sturdy structure that enables it to move big, heavy and bulky items—such as stacks of voluminous packaging materials—eliminating the need for manual labor to transport big loads from place to place within manufacturing plants by human-operated carts. Avoiding people and obstacles while calculating the routes to transport material, the robot’s powerful Fleet Manager operating system enables manufacturers to construct a truly flexible and optimized autonomous material transport system, according to Omron, as Fleet Manager facilitates the control of multiple mobile robots with different payloads through a single system that can manage traffic, battery charging requirements, and vehicle navigation for a diverse fleet of up to 100 robots. Highly customizable with special conveyor tops, courier systems and adaptive material handling mechanics, the LD-250 robot also incorporates several advanced Omron technologies to improve performance, such as the High Accuracy Positioning System (HAPS), side lasers, and the Acuity vision localization technology.

Designed to minimize film consumption in busy stretchwrapping applications, the new S-Carriage pre-stretch system from Orion Packaging is designed to deliver 260-percent pre-stretch, according to the company, and can be easily adjusted for higher or lower pre-stretch as load requirements vary. Delivering 180 degrees of film to roller contact—thereby reducing slippage and neckdown for improved film coverage and yield—the system’s efficient S pattern of film travel over carriage rollers is well-suited to accommodate all types of cling films, even one-sided films, as the sticky side remains against the load for improved holding power. Moreover, the automated Insta-Thread and Insta-Cut features incorporated into the carriage design help reduce film handling for additional labor savings, improved throughput, and lower risk of worker injury.

FIRST GLANCE BLISTERING PACE Designed for pharmaceutical packaging development, fast prototyping and small-scale production, the new EAGLEOmni blister machine from Maruho Hatsujyo Innovations (MHI) is a highly versatile module that performs forming, sealing and punching operations at sequential stations. Capable of producing up to 20 blisters per minute and is suitable for packaging solids, powders, liquids

or devices, the compact machine handles a wide range of forming materials—including PVC, PVDC, ACLAR, PP, PET and ALU—and all typical lidding substrates, including ALU, paper, PVC, PET and laminates. Capable of everything from manual prototyping to fully automated operation, the machine’s optional 40-mm forming depth makes it ideal for nutritional products larger than traditional tablets or capsules—such as gummies, devices and other delivery formats—while enabling seamless development and production combined with rapid low-cost prototyping, enhanced with recipe-driven format change, easy changeover, and various feeding options. Maruho Hatsujyo Innovations (MHI)

PATTY PARTY

Designed specifically for the marketing of patty-shaped meat or plantbased protein products, the new line of processor-grade polystyrene (PS) trays from Dolco Packaging offer an attractive alternative to the supermarket-grade, standard-sized rectangular trays that often let the product slide around inside—resulting in unattractive presentation and misshapen product. Calimed to be ideal the packaging of readyto-cook premium products and blends—ground beef, poultry, specialty meats, salmon, crab cakes, portobello mushrooms, etc.—that typically have a higher price point than bulk ground, the new patty trays are available in two-, four or five-cell options. While the fourcell trays are offered in two different depth options to accommodate retailer preferences, the two- and five-cell trays feature raised channels on the bottom that the patty sits on. Available in both white and black, Dolco’s thicker processorgrade PS patty trays are said to be up to 30 per cent stronger than its thinner supermarket-grade alternatives, while the square shape of the four-cell tray requires less film to overwrap and takes up less space in the case than the standard rectangular trays. Dolco Packaging

CARRY THAT WEIGHT

Designed to capture the static weight of products or packages as they move down a conveyor line, the new Roller Conveyor Scale from Fairbanks Scales Inc. can weighs products ranging from 0.2 to 250 pounds and accommodate objects sized from 32 to 36 inches. Seamlessly integrating into most existing conveyor systems, it provides a

CLUTCHING AT STRAWS TO MAKE REAL GREEN IMPACT As the global public backlash against disposable plastic drinking straws continues to build up steam, progressive companies like Finnish-based firms Sulapac and Stora Enso are pooling their resources and f lair for innovation to come up with credible sustainable alternatives. Rolled out in limited quantities last month, the new patent-pending, microplastic-free straws have already been adopted for use at the Finnair airline’s customer lounges in Helsinki, along with other Finnish companies including the Altia alcoholic beverage brand, Hotel St. George and vegan café Kippo, among others. Available online at www.biofutura.com and www.verkkokauppa.com, the fully renewable straws work just like their traditional plastic counterparts, according to Sulapac’s chief executive officer Suvi Haimi, and are designed to be fully biodegradable in different environments. “Our first customers represent different business sectors,” Haimi point out, “but they all have one common interest: to be in the forefront of sustainability. “There’s clearly a large demand for our product that both fulfills the sustainability criteria and has superior usability,” says Haimi, noting that the straws main components are made from renewable materials such as wood and plant-based binders. “Like all Sulapac materials, the straw is 100-percent microplastic-free,” Haimi states. “It is designed to mimic nature, so that if the straw accidentally ends up in the ocean, it acts like a birch leaf and does not harm the ecosystem.” According to Haimi, the new straws—produced on the same machinery used to make conventional plastic straws— comply with most existing waste recycling systems and industrial composting facilities. “Billions of plastic straws are produced and used every week, creating

harmful waste that often end up in the sea,” says Marcus Dehlin, head of business alliances with Stora Enso, which is Europe’s second-largest forest products company by net sales. “The renewable and biodegradable material used to make these straws can replace fossil-based materials and help combat plastic waste. “Our cooperation with Sulapac allows us to explore new types of innovative and scalable materials and widen our offering of renewable solutions”, says Dehlin, adding the new straws will be introduced across Europe throughout this year, to be followed by a global rollout.

ven the best-meaning business plans are ultimately only as good as their execution, which is often determined by the extent of the company’s commitment, ambition, scope and sheer will to succeed. In this light, globally operating plastic films manufacturer Klöckner Pentaplast (kp) is charging ahead to change those global consumers’ general mistrust of all manner of plastic packaging into a more positive recognition of plastics as a vital part of a solution to the world’s environmental crisis rather than its source, as the current narrative in the CPG (consumer packaged goods) industries would have the public believe. As one of the world’s largest producers of rigid plastic solutions for pharmaceutical and food packaging applications, the London-headquartered company—owned by U.S. private equity firm Strategic Value Partners, LLC—is well aware of the obligations that all industry leaders are expected to bear in the markets they serve.

And as most industry-leading trailblazers keep discovering time after time, there is no substitute for leading by example. For kp, which operates 61 locations—including 35 production sites—in 18 countries around the world, the company’s formal vision of ‘The Sustainable Protection of Everyday Needs’ is a core principle guiding its ambitious and comprehensive approach to significantly lessening the carbon footprint of the global plastic packaging. As such, this precept is based on reasserting the value of plastic materials an integral part of the emerging Circular Economy model stressing the importance of designing products for a useful after-life long after the original packaged products have been consumed. As part of this proactive approach to plastic waste reduction, kp’s Canadian subsidiary in Montreal offers a compelling example of its company’s deep-rooted commitment to plastic waste reduction. Acquired as part of the group in 2004, the former Les Plastiques Petco facility on the city’s eastern outskirts has recently undergone nearly $20 million in various

capital investments and expansion, positioning the site as the company’s primary producer of PCR PET (post-consumer recycled polyethylene terephthalate) used as raw material in the manufacture of food trays for MAP (modified atmosphere packaging) and VSP (vacuum-skin packaging) meat industry applications for the North American market. Mark Gonyar, director of business development with kp’s Food Packaging division, says the Montreal operation gained significant strategic importance for the company in the wake of its landmark 2017 acquisition of U.K.-based competitor LINPAC Packaging Group, which opened up vast new markets in the global fresh meat and produce markets. The Canadian plant focuses exclusively on the production of PET plastic film and trays with 25-, 50- and 100-percent PCR content. The vertically-integrated operation has the capacity to process 23 kilotons of PCR PET per year, according to operations manager Marco Mercier, using recovered PET containers collected at municipal recycling facilities throughout Quebec and eastern Canada. “This site is very unique for kp globally in that we are the only site to be processing our own PCR plastic bales and washing the flakes from the very beginning

of the process,” says Gonyar, “which ultimately gives us full control to ensure the quality and the cost of the final product.” “Most PET extrusion factories around the world do not have capabilities to do their own flake washing,” Gonyar told Canadian Packaging on a recent visit to the 100,000-square-foot facility housing a brand new extruder line, a state-of-the-art optical sorting system, high-performance thermoforming machinery, and a broad array of material handling and production equipment moved in from the original Petco manufacturing location in Montreal’s Anjou suburb. Employing about 100 people, the vertically-integrated site runs flat-out on a 24/7 schedule throughout the year to keep up with growing market demand for PCR-content trays in the fresh protein markets, Gonyar relates. “This is the model that we hope to replicate at some of our facilities around the world in the future,” says Gonyar, noting the Montreal plant is one of only two food packaging plants currently operated by kp in North America, with the other five U.S. production plants focusing on pharmaceutical and medical device industries. Says Gonyar: “The acquisition of LINPAC basically doubled the size of the company, whereby the healthcare division and food division are now both $1-billion

businesses, but it also took us one step further in the value chain to retailers and brand-owners as our direct customers. Whereas in the past kp served food industries indirectly by producing thermoformed plastic sheets that would then be cut to size by other converters, the company now manufactures finished food trays directly for its fast-growing list of food processing customers. “Given the many synergies between the types of materials that kp and LINPAC were manufacturing and the markets we were targeting, we had a really good opportunity to expand our Montreal operation,” he says, “and to introduce some exciting new product lines to the market.” According to Gonyar, the Montreal facility currently produces nearly 30 different standard tray designs to suit a broad range of MAP and VSP applications, while offering a host of environmental and performance benefits. “We can produce 100-percent PCR content trays that do not require application of special barriers to achieve the necessary shelf-life for fresh meat products,” Gonyar points out. “Our trays also incorporate special built-in sealing technology to enable better and faster sealing on the packaging lines, along with superior burst strength.” Says Gonyar: “There is a very unique value proposition to the technology we are bringing to fresh-protein markets that go beyond being sustainable. “There are also many functional and performance benefits that our trays offer for packaging products like ground turkey and beef, plant-based patties, burgers, steaks, chicken, and many other types of fresh protein,” he states. “Our food trays are designed to offer our customers a highly differentiated, highquality, premium packaging solution that is the result of all the many steps we take to remove as many potential contaminants as possible from our incoming PCR PET bales prior to the extrusion process.” As the plant’s process engineer Isabelle Mathieu relates, “The first step is to separate green PET materials from clear materials, followed by separating all the labels, caps and other colored plastics that can’t be processed with clear PET.” According to Mathieu, a typical 500-kilogram bale of recovered PET waste may contain a high number of potential contaminants such as paper, wood, ferrous and nonferrous metals, and other non-compatible polymers that must be removed from the incoming bales. “It is always a challenge to find the right balance in removing as much contamination as possible without losing too much yield,” says Mathieu. “After shredding the raw materials into flake form, it is thoroughly hot-washed with systems to remove the glue and any other debris,” Mathieu says, “until we get the pure clear PET flakes that can safely go into the extruder.”

The brand new extrusion line at the Montreal facility offers “The best available extrusion technology for PET recycling in the world,” Gonyar extols. “It combines the accumulated process knowledge of our European operations with the vast expertise of various extrusion machinery manufacturers we have worked with over the years in one fully integrated system that performs with exceptional precision.” While the supply of PCR PET feedstock is currently not an issue for the Montreal facility, especially since the recent closing of the Chinese market for recycle plastic waste, there is a gaping knowledge void in the consumer marketplace about the merits of plastic recycling, according to Joan Fowler, kp’s marketing communications manager for the Americas region. “Not only do our trays provide the recycled content that our customers increasingly demand today,” says Fowler, “but they are also recyclable, due to their monolayer construction. “That is what makes them a perfect fit as we drive for a Circular Economy,” says Fowler, citing the company’s widely lauded Positive Plastics Pledge, which is kp’s formal commitment to environmental excellence that includes using only recyclable and sustainably sourced materials at all its global operations over the next

To help ensure optimal product safety downstream of the value chain, the Montreal facility uses the Loma IQ4 conveyorized metal detection system to detect any ferrous and nonferrous metal particles that may have made their way into the finished meat trays.

decade. Released a little over a year ago, the four-pillar plan focuses on the company’s quest to: • Innovate, by doing more with less, reducing the weight of its packaging, and using up to 100-percent recycled content where possible; • Accelerate, by only using materials that are practically recyclable or sustainably sourced, while simplifying its polymer and material mix to ease recycling; • Educate, by highlighting the benefits of plastic during and after use to consumers and communities, with emphasis on the value of plastic waste as a resource; • Activate, by helping to close the loop on plastics through various initiatives “that will transform collection and recycling infrastructure around the world.” According to kp’s sustainability director Lubna Edwards, “We have long recognized the benefits when it comes to the life-cycle of plastics due to its many sustainable features and benefits, and we believe a transformational shift is required in the way this material is managed by the industry, by consumers and by society in general. “We have big ideas about reducing littering, ensuring that used plastic is sepa-

rated as a valuable raw material, taking into account the carbon impacts of packaged products. “We stay true to our purpose in the sustainable protection of everyday products,, including food protection, while helping to prevent food waste through the use of our packaging,” Edwards states. As Gonyar points out, “We are collectively presented with a global challenge to come up with effective solutions quickly to reduce the amount of plastic that enters into our marine and land environment. “It’s not even a landfill question: it’s the fact that it leaks into the waterways, washes up on the beaches, or gets littered on the side of the road, making it such a visible ‘culprit.’ It has become a victim of its own success. “It’s really a consumer engagement issue,” he says, “but the industry and governments must also play a role by making plastic recycling more accessible. “For example, plastic food trays are not widely collected for recycling in parts of the world, but we are constantly working on collection and sorting infrastructure, and recycling solutions with global partners, enabling an improved supply chain of recycled polymers to make our food trays that are also recyclable, creating a true closed loop.” While the current state of the recycling of plastic food and beverage containers needs major improvement due to the use extensive use of multicolored or multilayer bottles that must be separated from the PET recycling streams, Gonyar says he remains optimistic that the industry will ultimately arrive at a workable, sustainable solution that will satisfy all the key Circular Economy requirements. “The whole value chain has to play a role in the Circular Economy, from resin producers to consumers, manufacturers, retailers, packers and every other affected stakeholder including regional and local governments,” he proclaims. “For all of their unique benefits, plastics have received a bad reputation,” he says, “but the industry’s ability to recycle its waste really comes down to an infrastructure problem rather than a capability problem.” Fowler adds: “The last thing we want is our products, which help prevent food waste, to end up in the ocean or washed up on the beach. “We want to get them back so we can reuse them again, to keep protecting valuable food products, pharmaceuticals and all that other good stuff everyday consumers need and demand, which is why plastic packaging became such a big innovation to begin with. It really is a miraculous material! “A world without plastic packaging is not really a realistic or sustainable solution for our modern consumer-driven society,” Fowler concludes, “which is why kp will do everything it can to help make genuine sustainable plastic packaging through more innovative design and vastly improved recycling capabilities.”

FILLING IN THE BLANKS

High-end automation components help liquid filling machinery manufacturer reinforce its innovator credentials in the booming cannabis markets BY GEORGE GUIDONI, EDITOR PHOTOS BY NAOMI HILTZ

o one can deny these days that the world without machines and technology would be a far less comfortable and hospitable place for the vast majority of us—at home, at work, and virtually everywhere else in between. But simply taking machines for granted as a perk of modern life is a world away from the considerable intellectual, emotional and capital investment that machinebuilders undertake daily in their quest to building better, faster and more efficient mousetraps to keep the wheels of industry moving forward. Considering the great extent to which automation has transformed virtually all key CPG (consumer packaged goods) industries over the last few decades, it is often finding the right industry to put your machines to use that has become of OEMs’ (original equipment manufactures’) biggest nuts to crack these days.

Happily for Mike Lio, founder and president of ATG Pharma Inc. in Oakville, Ont., that part of the puzzle has been largely resolved with the recent legalization of recreational and medicinal cannabis across Canada and large swaths of the U.S.— opening up lucrative opportunities in a burgeoning industry that is still very much in its infancy in terms of technological know-how and sophistication. With over 20 years of work experience operating high-speed production lines at some of the biggest pharmaceutical production facilities in Canada, Lio’s natural thirst for knowledge and keen entrepreneurial instincts have enabled him to grow his company from a fairly ordinary provide of equipment validation and supply company for the pharmaceutical industry to into a thriving supplier of smaller-sided, benchtop pharmaceutical liquid filling and dispensing equipment to help upstart cannabis producers automate the filling of their cannabis oils, extracts, tinctures and other liquids and gels used in mainstream cannabis CBD and THC products. Building his very first machine prototype in his home garage in 2015, Lio wasted

little time in taking his home project out in the real world—determined to produce small-scale, economical filling solutions tailored to the needs of niche pharmaceutical and nutraceutical innovators for whom investing into a state-of-the-art, multimillion-dollar piece of equipment is simply economically unfeasible at their current stage of growth and evolution. Soon after selling his very first machine to a company in Thailand, Lio proceeded to move his fledgling business into a small machine shop in nearby Burlington to commence full-time production of entry-level filling machines marketed under the ML-1 brand name—soon after expanding this manual offering to the more automated RoboCAP RL-200 and RoboCAP RL-300 series brand names. “These machines have done very well for us in those early years,” says Lio, “providing enough working capital to keep the business afloat and growing.” As Lio explains, both RoboCAP machine series incorporate a basic Cartesian three–axis robot to perform the filling of empty capsules, vials, cartridges, syringes bottles and other types of small containers placed inside die-cut polystyrene foam trays at speeds ranging from 4,500 to 10,000 containers per hour, depending on the type of the vessel and the dosing size. The main difference between the two models essentially comes down to the size of the work area envelope, with the RoboCAP RL-300 machines offering 300-square-millimeter working surface area, compared to 150 square millimeters for the more rudimentary RoboCAP RL-200 machine. “These machines offer up to 200 programs to enable users to perform all of their basic filling functions,” Mio says. “It’s a great system for starting up, but there is not much you can do to overcome the machines’ physical boundaries and structures. “And with us using mostly off-the-shelf components for these machines that virtually anyone else can buy, many of our competitors started copying our system designs and marketing them as their own innovations,” Mio reflects. To overcome this unwanted imitation, Mio decided to develop a new-generation, fully-automatic liquid filling machine that would provide users the new levels and operational flexibility, versatility and process control capabilities that would still offer an attractive price-point for many startup ventures in the cannabis markets. “Basically, we wanted to develop a 100-percent

made-in-Canada system, but that would also give us the ability to control and customize the design of our equipment,” Mio says. To do that, the company has recently invested nearly $700,000 in various production and fabrication machinery during the last year, overseeing the installation of a brand new AXYZ CNC router; a five-axis HAAS vertical milling center; an SK 450 automated saw/cutter built by Turkish company YILMAZ, and a Trlsibe 4010 ATC (automatic tool changer), among others. Says Mio, “Striving to be an innovator and to stay ahead of the competition, we could only do that by incurring some senior investment costs in our machine shop in order to do all our milling in-house. “It was important for us to become self-sufficient in all aspects of our machine-building in order to be able to provide our customers with custom-designed solutions to fit their needs,” says Mio, recalling the intense work and effort that went into designing and building the company’s first new Hummingbird series machine prototype. “It’s a complete automation solution that will replace our RoboCAP 300 series filling machines,” Mio states, quickly complimenting some of the key Schneider Electric automation components and devices that were incorporated into the Hummingbird machine design. “What we’re trying to do with the Hummingbird is to design a modular automated system that can go into the smaller mom-and-pop companies and, as their production grows, help repurpose those systems or even have it integrated into larger production lines,” Mio explains. “However, you need your machine to have solid automation fundamentals to be able to that, Mio says, which is how and why ATG Pharma decided to hook up with the nearby office of industrial automation experts Schneider Electric in Mississauga, Ont. “Because we were still limited in our knowledge of a lot of automation technology that’s out there,” Mio relates, “we really needed to partner up with a company that was an acknowledged expert in its field, to make Hummingbird the flexible machine we wanted it to be in terms of being able to change the container heights, the work area and all the other operational parameters with minimal changeover time.” Working closely with Schneider Electric’s application design expert Dhruv Bhatt, ATG Pharma’s design team was able to pick out the best high-performance automation solution and other essential components that Schneider Electric has to offer, most notably: * The Magelis SCU HMI (human-machine interface) controller, designed for small machine and simple process control applications, while offering up to 30-percent savings in installation and ownership costs, compared to a stand-alone PLC (programmable logic controllers) device. Featuring state-of-the art display and enhanced communication capabilities and crystal-clear readability, the Magelis SCU HMI comes with single-software SoMachine suite to facilitate easy machine maintenance and upgrades, according to Schneider Electric. * A Lexium M drive integrated stepper with linear actuator package containing 1.8° two-phase stepper motors with onboard drive electronics, and a controller with up to eight I/O connections. According to Schneider Electric, the high degree of integrations of these components can greatly reduce machine complexity, size and cost in many stepper

AUTOMATE NOW and servomotor applications, while delivering exceptional performance and smoothness with advanced current control, with feedback options including open-loop or closed-loop with a 1,000 line (4,000 counts/revolution) incremental or multi-turn absolute encoder. As Bhatt relates, “We are proud to supply the Hummingbird machine with a complete solution from Schneider Electric that includes the PLC/HMI combo, sensors, integrated stepped motors with linear actuator, and all the essential electrical accessories.” Mio agrees: “Dealing with a company like Schneider-Electric really helped us understand what’s out there in terms of the technology to enable a small company like ours to grow. “There is a lot of knowledge and expertise that we don’t have, and partnering up with Schneider Electric, who sent in their people to work with our staff, has really enabled our guys to develop their automation competence levels. “Once we had an idea what direction we wanted to go, Schneider Electric was brilliant in tying in all the technology around all the machine components and industrial control devices to help make the Hummingbird machine just as we originally envisioned it.” In fact, Mio was so happy with the finished Hummingbird prototype machine that he had it shipped to the company’s exhibit at the recent MJBizCon marijuana business conference and cannabis export in Las Vegas last December as the star attraction. Says Mio: “Having one machine that can do a multitude of different products under one system is quite revolutionary in the cannabis industry, which is still a bit of a Wild West in many respects. “Most of our competitors have one system for processing one product, whereas we can do three, four or five different products like capsules tincture bottles, spray bottles, eyedropper bottles and so on.” As Mio relates, he hopes the formal launch and commercialization of the Hummingbird system this year will continue to solidify the marketplace success already achieved by his company, which now employs 23 full-time personnel. “We have already outgrown our current facility and are now looking for a bigger plant to build our machines, whether leased or owned outright,” he says, citing hundreds of ATG Pharma machine installations across Canada and beyond. “We have gone from producing about machine per month a couple of years ago to shipping four to five machines per week nowadays,” he states, adding that the growing cannabis industry accounts for the lion’s share of those installations. “I think that we’re now the Number One supplier of liquid filling machines in the Canadian cannabis market,” Mio states, saying the company is currently projected to hit a $10-million benchmark in annual sales with the next couple of years. “Having decided a couple of years ago that the cannabis market would be our bread-andbetter industry, we are more determined than

Launched in mid-November last year at 14 designated IGA grocery stores and 10 St-Hubert restaurants in and around the greater Montreal area, the 200-ml boxes of Oasis 1st Edition apple juice come with a shorter and stubbier 100-mm straw made entirely of FSC (Forest Stewardship Council)certified paper. “In the past few months, we have committed to finding sustainable solutions for making our containers more eco-responsible [and] this initiative is a first step in that direction,” said Lassonde Industries president and chief operating officer Jean Gattuso. According to Lassonde, this initiative aligns with the company’s vision of sustainable development and efforts to promote the emerging Circular Economy model of package design to enable the company to meet its targets of 100-percent recyclable packaging for all it’s products, along with at least 20-percent PCR (post-consumer recycled) content in its packaging by 2025. Unlike the traditional 155-mm plastic straw it aims to replace, the new paper straw—slightly angled at the bottom tip for easy entry—is inserted through the carton’s tine foil opening from the side of the box rather than from the top of the carton. “This represents the first commercial use of a paper straw in North America,” says Lassonde Industries general manager of marketing, revenue management and product development Claire Bara, noting the introduction of a new straw material and the repositioning of the foil lid off to the side of the box were more challenging than they first appear.

Featuring solid red colors and white typography clearly identifying the new packaging features, “This distinctive design clearly communicate to consumer what this product is about and what they are getting with this product,” Bara states. “We wanted to make sure that consumers would understand that this is not your regular Tetra Pak juice box,” she says, “and Pigeon Brands has conveyed that message perfectly.” Dispensing with the traditional product photography and illustrations, the Oasis 1st Edition design also features the familiar arrowed recycling logo and a callout to consumers to share their opinions about the new straw on the www.oasis.ca/straw web page. According to Pigeon Brands national managing director Elyse Boulet, the Pigeon team utilized a creative strategic approach to develop compelling messaging that hit the mark, complimented by a sleek and modern graphic design. “At Pigeon we take sustainability very seriously,” Boulet states. “While this is an iterative approach to design, each little step truly counts. “We believe it’s better to start now than to wait for the perfect product, which is what we preach to our clients every day.

PACKAGE DESIGN “This paper straw is a revolutionary idea, and we’re proud to have partnered with Lassonde and that it’s come from a Canadian company,” Boulet proclaims. “We have got lot of reaction and feedback both on our website and in the social media already,” adds Bara, noting Lassonde is currently compiling and analysing the gathered information to determine what other improvements it can make to the 200-ml carton packaging. “We don’t pretend that we have found the perfect solution,” Bara states, “but based on the terrific reception so far I think we are moving in the right direction. “Consumers are excited by what we are doing, and even though some of the older consumers may at first seem puz-

zled by the opening being on the side, the younger ones seem to pick it up almost instinctively,” she says. “Changing habits does not always happen automatically,” Bara says, “but the whole area of sustainability is all about changing our consumption habits for the greater good of the planet.” “There is no perfect solution today, but we believe we’re doing the right thing by putting something new into the market, gather feedback, and go on to working on an improved version,” says Bara, citing healthy enthusiasm for the Oasis 1st edition launch by its partners IGA and St-Hubert. “Our 14 participating IGA supermarkets in Quebec are proud to be the first to collaborate on this ground-breaking

initiative,” says Luc L’Archevêque, IGA’s senior vice-president of merchandising and general manager for Quebec. “Being able to offer our consumers a new product that will have a positive impact on our planet fits perfectly with our vision of sustainable development,” L’Archevêque adds. “At IGA, we have put forward several environmentally-friendly initiatives, and our collaboration with Lassonde in this project allows us to continue to take concrete action to make a difference for our future generations.” For the St-Hubert restaurant chain, which had actually stopped using plastic straws at all its stores back in August of 2018, the paper straw collaboration with Lassonde was a perfect match for the company’s own proactive sustainability mindset. “Our chain of restaurants is delighted to participate in this market test that aligns with our environmental strategy,” says Richard Scofield, president of Rôtisseries St-Hubert. “St-Hubert has long been aware of the importance of eco-responsible processes,” Scofield point out, “and we hope such initiative will give the industry the incentive to adopt a similar approach. “These green practices include our recyclable and compostable delivery boxes and packaging, the collection of residual materials in nearly 90 per cent of our establishments, and our fleet of electric delivery cars.” For Bara, the exceptional internal teamwork that went into the project at Lassonde—involving key engineering, marketing and production personnel—was the proverbial icing on the cake. “The level of collaboration displayed throughout this project was really remarkable,” she states. “People really felt that they were working on a real breakthrough innovation, and they displayed a lot of positive energy throughout the project. “This gives us great confidence going forward that we will meet all the key sustainability goals that we have set for ourselves.”

Since their humble beginnings over 25 years ago, Fromagerie Polyethnique has expanded to a striking 60,000-square-foot facility with 75-employees working on a five-days-a-week schedule throughout most of the year. Their revered Le Bedouin brand has taken off thanks to their wide offerings of Mediterranean cheese products, which include ready-to-eat labneh, haloumi, nabulsi, akawie and varied yogurt and milk products. While their Le Bedouin brand can be found on grocery store shelves across Quebec in the likes of Metro and Sobeys IGA, Fromagerie Polyethnique also accommodates to a wide array of private-label customers across Canada.

While the company has seen an impressive seven-percent increase per year, it soon became evident to Lambert and Fromagerie Polyethnique’s project manager Camille Salvas that their production facility also needed to see a substantial upsurge. “Previously, we were using a manual packaging machine to pack all of our grilling cheese,” Salvas explains. “With the increase of the company, it was essential for us to also increase our efficiency in the packaging department.” When the time came to look for a steadfast and reliable company to purchase a machine from, Fromagerie Polyethnique did not have to look much further than the Canadian vacuum packaging manufacturer Sipromac, who has been a supplier of theirs for quite some time. André Francoeur, sales director for Sipromac, also agreed that it was the perfect time for Fromagerie Polyethnique to invest in more automated and consistent machinery for their production facility. “We are the best company for small to medium size processing plants,” Francoeur says. “We can partner with these businesses and follow their growth. “We can start them off with smaller machines like a single or double chamber and as the business grows, we are then able to support them with larger capacity machines, up to the thermoformer, like we did with Polyethnique. Adds Francoeur: “This investment was part of their business decision.” To guarantee the best results for their cheese products, Fromagerie Polyethnique purchased

easy to find in comparison to overseas models. Before officially purchasing the TM-050, Sipromac invited Lambert, Salvas and their production team to their facility to see how the TM-050 packages the cheese products and how all of the different components work to ensure that the TM-050 was the right fit for their facility. In the eyes of Lambert and Salvas, being able to preview the TM-050 showed them how much Sipromac was willing to go above and beyond for their business. “We arrived at their access facility with our cheese products,” Salvas recounts fondly. “They gave us the opportunity to look at the packaging and to see that all of the equipment was working. Adds Salvas: “We could see the equipment running before we actually brought it into our facility, so we really appreciated that they allowed us to do that.” The TM-050 has proven to be advantageous to Fromagerie Polyethnique, especially when they have high volumes of cheese product and need to increase the speed. Thanks to the TM-050, Fromagerie Polyethnique workers also have the ability to put the cheese products into film, where the TM-050 then promptly forms the pouch around the cheese, and vacuum seals the product. Akin to Fromagerie Polyethnique, Sipromac also ensures that their thermoformers play a big part in making sure that the cheese products are fresh and safe for consumption. “We make sure that the quality of the vacuum and the seal are optimal to offer the longest shelf-life and insure food safety,” Francoeur explains. “Because if the seal is not well done, then there are risks for consumers.

Concludes Francoeur: “We want our customers to be able to get the best return on their investment and it’s often related to the shelf-life.” Thanks to Sipromac’s commitment to food safety and state-of-the-art machines, Fromagerie Polyethnique is reaping the benefits of the machine’s full capabilities. “Fromagerie Polyethnique is not using the thermoformer up to full capacity yet because the TM-050 just goes so fast,” Francoeur extols. “Now with the thermoformer, the workers can just look away and the product is packaged.” Lambert has been so happy with the performance of the TM 050 thus far that he has shared that Fromagerie Polyethnique is even looking at buying a second machine for the future. Naturally, Fromagerie Polyethnique would be making that purchase from Sipromac again. “It is really important for us to have a Canadian supplier,” Lambert explains. “Sipromac works with us like a partnership.” Fromagerie Polyethnique also reaps the benefits of Sipromac machines and equipment being manufactured and produced in Canada, should they require any further assistance with the TM-050. “The Sipromac team came to the facility for the training in the beginning and then they came back about two or three weeks after just to be sure that everything was running okay,” Lambert elucidates. “And they haven’t been back since that time!” As Fromagerie Polyethnique looks ahead at their future in the grilling cheese space, both Lambert and Salvas both believe that the facility’s innovative TM-050 thermoformer will help them in their continued success. Salvas happily shares that Fromagerie Polyethnique is currently in high demand for their private-label grilling cheese products, which she says will be packed in a speedy manner on the TM-050 thermoformer, with the continued support of Sipromac. “We’re ready to increase our production, and we are going to continue to adhere to our high quality standards,” Salvas says. “We are sure that we will be using the thermoformer and it’s going to go well with the deployment.” Concludes Salvas: “We have a great relationship with Sipromac and we will continue working with them to adjust the thermoformer for new products.”

ore than ever, Canadian consumers are eagerly reaching out for healthy, better-for-you snacks that still reward their taste buds with satisfying flavors, aroma and, when called for, a zesty crispy crunch. And thanks to companies like Naturally Homegrown Foods Ltd., of Surrey, B.C., it is not a reach too far. Located about a 40-minute drive southwest of downtown Vancouver, Naturally Homegrown Foods is a premium snack-food company specializing in producing handcrafted-style, kettle-cooked potato and root vegetable chips made from all-natural ingredients. Marketed under the Hardbite brand name, the gluten- and allergen-free chips— cooked in avocado oil—are made without any preservatives, transfats or GMO (genetically-modified organisms) to offer consumers a tasty cholesterol-free snacking option that has been steadily growing its share of the Canadian snack-food market at an impressive pace. Already retailing across Canada through select Loblaws and Sobeys supermarkets, the Hardbite brand chips have also been selected by the Toronto-based Porter Airlines as the complimentary free snacks handed out by Flight Attendants to the passengers in mid-flight. “I believe that we’ve done a very good job in establishing the brand in the Canadian market,” says company president Kirk Homenick. “We’re very strong from a sales and marketing standpoint,” says Homenick, adding

the company’s 50-employee facility runs a busy around-the-clock schedule, five days a week, to keep up with growing demand and production volumes. “I think we understand the Canadian consumer quite well in terms of their interests and what they’re seeking in a salty snack,” says Homenick, citing a highly imaginative and creative product portfolio comprising tantalizing potato chip flavors such as Avocado & Lime, Wild Onion &Yogurt, All Natural and Rock Salt & Vinegar, among others. In a similar vein, the Hardbite range of root vegetable chips is also something of a marketing masterstroke, as evidenced by the ingeniously named Sweet Spud of Mine,, 18 Carrot Gold and Drop’n Mad Beets varieties. As Homenick relates, this light-hearted approach to marketing has struck a very responsive chord with the target consumers, which the company actively nurtures through various social media platforms and online contests. In fact, the company regularly encourages consumers to submit their own outdoor-themed photos to embody the elements of being active and enjoying life for possible reproduction on the actual Hardbite brand chip bags—offered in laminate 50-gram and 150-gram flexible pillow pack bags designed by Crew Marketing. With growing production volumes starting to push the boundaries of what the Surrey plant could handle with its existing labor-intensive production process, Homenick realized that the company would have to automate much of its process sooner or later to retain its hard-earned gains in market share. “One of the big issues in the industry is the fact that there’s a real scarcity of labor in the marketplace right now,” Homenick told Canadian Packaging in a recent interview.

The state-of-the-art Ishida model ACP-700-R case-packer from Heat and Control has enabled vast improvements in process efficiency and productivity compared to the plant’s previous manual case-packing methods.

The new case-packer’s user-friendly touchscreen HMI (human-machine interface) terminal can hold up to 500 programmable pre-set recipes, allowing Naturally Homegrown operators to execute seamless changeovers from 150-gram to 50-gram bags in under three minutes.

“We had simply reached the limits of our existing capacity, and we had to expand it one way or the other.” Eager to boost the plant’s output capacity and productivity levels, Homenick reached out to packaging line automation experts Heat and Control Canada Inc., Cambridge, Ont.-based Canadian subsidiary of a leading food processing and packaging equipment systems manufacturer Heat and Control Inc. of Hayward, Ca. Chris Jenkins, general manager of Heat and Control Canada, was eager to help Homenick find a solution. “We had a long relationship developed with Kirk, and eventually he realized that he needed to start that automation,” Jenkins says. “His initiative, or his motivation, was to automate the process to become more productive and to eliminate the challenges with staffing.” Having purchased the first portion of equipment from Heat and Control back in 2016, Homenick called on Heat and Control again about a year ago to complete the second phase of automating the facility. “It became extremely important to us to obtain new equipment that provided high process efficiencies,” Homenick says, “while also being intuitive and user-friendly for the operators.” He was not to be disappointed, with Heat and Control proceeding to supply the Surrey plant with a wealth of state-of-the-art automated packaging equipment comprising: • an Ishida model CCW-RVE-214 multihead weigher; • a CEIA THS vertical metal detector; • an Ishida model Astro-S-203 vertical form/fill/seal (VFFS) bagmaking system; • an Ishida bag thickness & seal checker model TSC-RVS-120;

a high-performance Ishida model ACP-700-R automatic case-packer; Other Heat and Control equipment used at the Naturally Homegrown facility includes an additional packaging system consisting of: • an Ishida multihead weigher model CCW-RVE-214; • an Ishida vertical form/fill/seal (VFFS) bagmaker model Astro-S-203. Looking at the entire system as a whole, Homenick has already seen a stunning improvement in the overall facility. “The equipment allowed us to grow and increase our overall output as we have grown to meet our increasing demand,” Homenick says. “All of their equipment has touchscreens, making it intuitive and very simple for our staff to learn and use. “Overall, the equipment from Heat and Control has helped to increase the amount of pounds or kilos per hour that we’re processing at the facility.” Homenick says he is very understandably impressed by the accuracy of the Ishida multihead weigher model CCW-RVE-214. “The accuracy of the scales has been a real benefit for us,” Homenick says. “I think that the Ishida scales are very high-quality equipment.” As for the user-friendly Ishida VFFS bagmaker model Astro-S-203 and the Ishida automatic case-packer model ACP-700-R, Homenick says the machines have virtually automated the previous manual packaging methods used at the plant. “Between the bagger and the automatic case-packer, there’s a feedback loop running through the computer system,” Homenick elucidates. “So if you’re dealing with underweight or seal integrity issues, our operators can easily adjust for that.” In addition, the Ishida VFFS bagmaker model Astro-S-203 has intermittent jaw technology that allows operators to pack in a wider range of formats—from pillow packs to gusset and block-bottom packs—resulting in highly secure packages. For its part, the Ishida Multihead Weigher model CCW-RVE-214 offers impressive running speeds of up top 120 weightments per minute, while also allowing for mix weighing of up to four products at a time. The fully-integrated Ishida automatic case-packer model ACP-700-R incorporates a multitude of features to ensure the machine delivers effective performance, while largely eliminating draining manual labor. “A person can only pack so many snack food bags into a case per minute,” Jenkins states. “The machine doesn’t take a break and the machine doesn’t slow down. Once it’s programmed and set up properly, it just runs.” Prior to the case-packer’s installation, it took three Naturally Homegrown operators to perform manual placement of the bags inside the boxes, closing of the cases, and stacking the filled boxes onto a pallet. Now packing upwards of 150 bags or 10 cases per minute, the Ishida automatic case-packer model ACP-700-R only needs one operator and requires less handling of the individual chip bags, thereby protecting the overall integrity of the chip products. “When you pick a bag of chips up by hand, you can break the chips in the bag,” Homenick explains. “This automated case-packer actually feeds the bags of chips into the boxes transferred on the conveyor system, utilizing gravity to fill out each case,” he explains.

The Ishida model CCW-RVE-214 multihead weigher (foreground) provides superior speed, accuracy and reliability for the Naturally Homegrow Foods chip production facility in Surrey, B.C.

“In essence, staff are not touching the bag at all; it is being gently placed in the box.” The Ishida automatic case-packer model ACP-700-R also makes product changeovers an easy process for operators. When operators switch the chip bags from the 150-gram variety to the 50-gram option, the overall picking pattern, and the size of the case itself, must be changed. With up to 500 programmable pre-sets changeovers take less than 3 minutes via the machine HMI. “This goes back to the case-packer’s intuitive nature,” Homenick extols. “The change is just transitioned to our touchscreen, as opposed to requiring shut down of equipment and having some of our maintenance do all the work on it.” With the integrated automatic system magnificently enabling much-increased run rates, while meeting all the ROI (return on investment) targets, Heat and Control easily fulfilled Homenick’s original expectations, and then some.

“My understanding from talking to Kirk and having numerous follow-up visits is he’s completely satisfied with what he’s experiencing, even above what he was promised,” Jenkins says. “The system is delivering on all fronts in terms of bags per minute quality and flexibility.” Homenick says he appreciates that the Heat and Control team took the time to help get the system integrated into facility’s production process. “We’ve had a few things where we either changed case pattern for new items or bugs that we needed to work out after installation,” Homenick recounts. “But the aftercare service and support that we received from the team at Heat and Control was timely and effective.” The feeling is mutual, according to Jenkins, who shares that Homenick and his team were a pleasure to do business with for their friendly and professional disposition. “We certainly appreciate their transparency, and that’s how we recognize that this relationship is a full partnership,” Jenkins relates. “It’s certainly a two-way street.” With the chip and snack market expected to remain healthy, Homenick believes that Naturally Homegrown will reap significant benefits from this capital upgrade well into the future. “Changing consumer habits are going to be a driver of growth in the future,” Homenick says, stressing the importance of product innovation and efficient manufacturing. “I think it’s really a matter of being focused on flavor trends,” he says. “With a lot of snacking now being done away from home, having convenient packaging solutions is key to meeting the trend of on-the-go eating,” Homenick concludes. “We look forward to achieving our goal, as an organization, to become the kettlechip of choice for Canadian consumers.”

FOOD SAFETY

STANDARDS OF EXCELLENCE Canadian folding-carton producer expands into new markets thanks to new safety, quality and continuous improvement standard certification

BY ALANNA FAIREY, ASSISTANT EDITOR PHOTOS BY CP STAFF

s a rising player in the Canadian folding-carton industry, it is unsurprising that Beneco Packaging and its online subsidiary company SoOPAK. com began to look for ways to secure its position. Equipped with the ability and flexibility to deliver quality products with great efficiency and quick turnaround, Beneco’s desire for change was inspired by the need to expand into a plethora of different industries for their loyal clients. “As our client base continues to expand and grow, we’re catering to an increasing number of pharmaceutical and food packaging customers,” says YaJun (Carol) Jiang, president of Beneco Packaging and SoOPAK.com. With 35 years of experience in the printing, packaging and folding-carton industries, Benneco Packaging’s vice-president of operations and process improvement Roy Amm is very familiar with the benefits of credible third-party food safety certification. Jiang agreed that Beneco needed to take the necessary measures to flourish in the new markets. “The company is going into the right direction,” Jiang says. “It is time for us to go into that next level to make sure we’re running the business under the highest standard in the industry.” After a few days, the Beneco team was able to come to a conclusion of what he believed Beneco would need in order to be successful in the future. As a team, Beneco realied that some of the biggest market opportunities for folding-carton packaging in this country, lie in the food and pharmaceutical industries. “The first thing many of these companies demand is a recognized accreditation, which offers them some form of food and pharma safety,” Amm told Canadian Packaging in a recent interview. To expand into these markets, the Beneco team decided to begin the process of getting the company IFS PACsecure (International Featured Standard) certified. Originally standing for International Food Standard, the IFS safety program was first founded in 2003 as a GFSI (Global Food Safety Initiative) recognized standard for the assessment of packaging material suppliers and converters. A result of cooperation between IFS and PAC (Packaging Consortium), IFS PACsecure offers a number of benefits to companies who are striving for excellence in quality and safety. The objective of this standard includes adherence to the GFSI guidelines, reduction and time in cost for retailers and suppliers, comparability throughout the food supply chain, and establishment of common benchmarks and evaluations. In addition, the program also works with accredited certification bodies, in the likes of SAI Global Assurance Services, as well as skilled IFS audit staff.

As per the IFS PACsecure regulations, Beneco has created a number of designated safe zones in the production facility, highlighted in the purple and yellow paint strips throughout the 49,000-square-foot facility.

FOOD SAFETY

To emphasize the importance of the IFS PACsecure certification, a number of signs and sanitation zones have been set up to remind employees to adhere to the rules.

For Beneco, having an IFS PACsecure certification allows them to help clients to easily distinguish themselves from the crowd. The accreditation provides a great advantage for their sales to approach prestigious clients who are more rigorous than the average standard in vendor selection and will only work with vendors who are capable and rightly accredited. “Earning the IFS certificate is a logical result of our strongly expanding activities in this marketplace,” Jiang says. “To provide first class service to these clients that require strict adherence to quality and safety, we are continually seeking ways to assure our valued customers that we operate at the highest quality standards and produce innovative, high quality, short-run customerfocused packaging products and services all under our own roof. Concludes Jiang:“Our completion of these two new certifications underscores our commitment to meeting and exceeding the expectations of our customers and becoming their trusted partners.” Once a company acquires an IFS PACsecure certification, the facility will also automatically receive GFSI and HACCP (Hazard analysis and critical control points) certifications, which is often viewed as an added bonus. After being told about the program in February of 2019, Jiang wanted the facility to be officially IFS PACsecure certified by the summer of 2019. In February of 2019, Jiang wanted the facility to be officially IFS PACsecure certified by the summer of 2019. Fully committed by Ms.Jiang, lead by Amm, supported and enforced by all management level and employees, Beneco pushed the project forward. Together with the external IFS consultant, the management team formulated comprehensive plans and contingency plans with timeline, milestone and actionable items. Other than keeping up with production and business growth, the team has put IFS accreditation as a priority. The management had repeatedly communicated

the goal for Beneco to be accredited, provided training, conducted mock audits and emphasized the benefits of obtaining IFS, not just to the company but also to each individual department and employee of Beneco. The process normally takes over a year for the certification to go through, as it is a timely and thorough procedure. Just like the company’s ardent belief in JIT (Just-intime) delivery, Beneco got their IFS PACsecure certification in an impressively quick manner. “It was two months outside of Jiang’s ask,” Amm shares. “We achieved our accreditation in September of 2019.” Adds Jiang: “We obtained IFS in a record-breaking time because we believe that obtaining IFS is a strategic move for us and we had allocated our precious resources, including time, money and people, to it. “We were determined, persistent and willing to work on it until we were successfully accredited.” Beneco’s recent certification has proved to be a timely one, as food safety scares and recalls often make news headlines, and can tarnish a company’s good name forever. Beneco can sleep comfortably, thanks to the strict safety protocols that their IFS PACsecure certification requires of them. Now when customers ask if they have an accreditation, Beneco are able to state that they have the IFS PACsecure certification. “We now offer with IFS a 100-percent traceability system back to source––that’s our objective, to make sure that that’s responsibly managed,” Amm says. As one of two folding-carton companies in Canada to have their IFS certification, it is important for Beneco facility continues to adhere to the guidelines of the IFS PACsecure regulations. “They don’t continuously manage the program and then there is a rush to get it ready for the next audit or they simply let it drop,” Amm explains. “I am against that, and I am not prepared to say that I spent seven months getting this system in place to

Vice-president of operations Roy Amm says he is looking forward to benefitting from competitive advantages of obtaining PACsecure certification.

just let it die.” The Beneco team has also been making sure that the safety protocols begin first with Beneco’s steadfast employees. Employees on the premises have undergone extensive training and must adhere to a number of safety and sanitation protocols, which begin the moment they enter the 49,000-square-foot plant. In addition to setting up designated safe zones, sanitation sinks have been set up to routinely wash hands and a number of signs stressing personal hygiene, the importance of wearing gloves and hair restraints have also been set in place. Adjusting to this new culture started as a struggle for facility workers, who through old force of habit, would inadvertently walk onto the production floor with a cup of coffee or forgetting to remove jewellery. “Even with this IFS system, we acknowledge that someone will walk into the facility breaking a protocol, and we have empowered all of our staff who can stop you in that instance,” Amm shares. “It is not just my responsibility––it is everyone’s responsibility, and that mandate is clearly accepted.” With the success of the accreditation at their Scarborough facility, Jiang also shares that there are plans for Beneco’s Mississauga location to become IFS certified in 2021. “We all are very excited,” Jiang says.“The facility is now seeing better management, better output and better quality control and a better future.” With their next audit scheduled for September 2020, Beneco believes that they will continue to reap the benefits of having an IFS PACsecure accreditation set in place. This opportunity with Beneco helped Amm to overcome his post-retirement indecisions, as Jiang took him on as Beneco’s vice-president of operations and process improvement. “For me, I’m going from a situation of semi-retirement funk into a situation where I feel rejuvenated now working in this organization––it’s a huge and humbling dynamic,” Amm concludes proudly.

CELEBRATING PAST, INSIDE PRESENT AND FUTURE 4

BEST OUT WEST

his year PAC Packaging Consortium (PAC) celebrates the momentous occasion of our 70th anniversary. In 1950, PAC was formed as the Packaging Association of Canada to foster a community where companies from across the value chain could safely come together to collaborate, innovate, and educate. In this special PAC Connect issue we celebrate eleven of our founding members. They are pioneers, disruptors and innovators who have made PAC their home for the last 70 years. In these pages you will find some of their stories about their continued dedication to innovation, technology and a more circular economy. Canadian Packaging Magazine | Cascades Inc. | Consolidated Bottle Company | Crown Packaging | Dow Chemical | Genpak | Henkel | Hood Packaging Corp. | O-I | TC Transcontinental | WestRock At PAC our strength is in the breadth, skill, knowledge and influence of our membership base and these eleven founding members are a daily reminder that the PAC community continues to stand the test of time.We are incredibly grateful for their support through the years. As we transcend on the future, themes of innovation, technology and the circular economy are woven into the fabric of who we are and how we move forward. Over the last 20 years, significant changes have impacted our industry. To support our members’ international expansion, we rebranded as PAC Packaging Consortium. We continue to grow in the US and our products can be found throughout the world. The game changed in the mid 2000’s when government implemented Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) regulations holding retailers and brand owners accountable for the recovery costs of discarded packages. We created our PAC NEXT program in 2010, in response to these dynamic market shifts. Our vision remains clear and we are focused on A World Without Packaging Waste. At PAC, we feel like we have become garbage experts overnight – which you will note in this November 2019 photograph of PAC Chairman Brent Heist of P&G and Jim Downham PAC CEO - spending time in a plastic waste recovery and reprocessing facility in Vancouver. Today this is what PAC leaders do to support our members. PAC has demonstrated sustainable packaging leadership in Canada since 2006, where over a six-year period we produced and managed six Walmart Sustainable Packaging Conferences, to which 4,500 professionals attended. In 2007

By George Guidoni

THE BONDS THAT BIND By George Guidoni

ROCK OF AGES PAC developed the first sustainable packaging course in the world and held the first sustainable packaging competition. In the past, packaging design concepts and material choices were made during the consumption era of make, consume, and dispose. Design and innovation are more important than ever to ensure all products and packaging have a next life. Disposal into landfill is no longer a suitable option, as we shift focus from packaging to package circularity. Along with package design we must reinvent recovery processes and reprocessing infrastructure to accommodate rapidly emerging circular packages. As we enter the circular economy era PAC is collaborating in the development of a tool to measure the circularity of a package. Watch for it to launch in 2020. As we charge forward into the future, we hope that those of you who are not members will join our growing PAC community. Our vision and mandates are clear. Grow your business. Develop your career. Preserve our planet. PAC is a safe place for packaging professionals to gather, learn, collaborate and celebrate as one. We pride ourselves on offering our members maximum value and remaining the conduit for conversations about relevant current and future industry trends. We challenge ourselves daily to provide valuable opportunities for learning, professional growth, and creating resources to help companies make impactful strategic choices to preserve our planet. James D. Downham, President & CEO, PAC Packaging Consortium

Thank you to our loyal member Anthem for their hard work in creating our 70th anniversary logo and the cover artwork for this issue.

lthough the use of paper to wrap and save food can be traced back to China as far as the first or second century B.C., it wasn’t until the middle of the 19th century that paper made from wood pulp was introduced to the larger world of commerce and trade driven by the forces of the Industrial Revolution. First used primarily to make glued paper sacks and bags, the new versatile material was eagerly adopted by the emerging captains of industry to package new foodstuffs for the masses, with the Kellogg brothers widely credited to have spearheaded the development of first mass-produced cartons to package their flaked cereals in the late 1890s. Before long, both Europe and North America began to see the rise of many new companies specializing in the production of paper-based containers to replace traditional wooden crates and fiber sacks—enabling manufacturers of food and non-food product alike to move their products to market faster and more efficiently. Aided by the commercial development of first-generation corrugated boxes in the early 1900s, making boxes soon became a highly lucrative new industry in its own right—prompting the launches of hundreds of new papermaking business ventures across the U.S. and Canada. While not all of these enterprises have survived the considerable passage of time since then, in fact far from it, some of those early-day pioneers are still around today—albeit in vastly changed iterations. As one of the original founding members of the former Packaging Association of Canada (PAC) in 1950—recently rebranded to the modern-day moniker of PAC Packaging Consortium—the Richmond, B.C.-based Crown Packaging provides an inspiring lesson in corporate longevity and continuous reinvention. Originally established under the name Crown Zellerbach in 1926, the fledgling wood and paper products supplier soon moved its operations to Vancouver, B.C., in 1930 to be in closer proximity to its client base of the day. After surviving through the darkest days of the Great Depression and the following outbreak of World War II, the privately owned company saw a timely opportunity for expansion in 1945, leading to its landmark acquisition of nearby rival Canadian Boxes Ltd., which was operating in Vancouver’s fast-growing Yaletown district. In 1956 Crown Zellerbach completed a major expansion and business consolidation at their location on the south arm of the Fraser River, holding the grand opening of its new Richmond facility in Sept. 26, 1956.

“Crown Zellerbach had owned the land, built the facility, and then sold the property and building back into an 80-year lease on which we still reside today,” says Mark Miedema, general manager of the Richmond plant. “It was known back then as Crown Zellerbach Paper Products, which supplied items such as paper bags, tissue, napkins, wrap, sheeted newsprint, wax-coated burger wraps, wallboard tape, and corrugated packaging,” Miedema relates. As the company continued to grow, it attracted a lot of top-level executive talent into its management ranks—most notably former CFL (Canadian Football League) trailblazer Byron “By” Bailey. Entrenched in the CFL folklore by scoring the first-ever touchdown in the history of the B.C. Lions football club on Sept. 18, 1954, the CFL Hall of Famer joined Crown Zellerbach in an executive capacity in 1964 following his retirement from professional football.

Working together under the PAC umbrella creates valuable opportunities for education in all our packaging sectors, while also helping to bring the customersupplier relationships closer together.

In 1970, the company started up a new box plant in Kelowna, B.C., to expand its manufacturing and packaging presence in the Okanagan region, famed for its abundance of fruit orchards and vineyards. “Customers like Consumers Glass and companies in the soft fruit industry were significant and plentiful back then,” says Miedema, noting the Kelowna location also became a major packaging supplier for the Hostess/Frito-Lay potato chip plants located in the nearby province of Alberta. In 1981, Crown Zellerbach Canada was purchased by the pulp-and-paper industry giant Fletcher Challenge, resulting in name changes of the acquired assets to Crown Forest Industries (wood products) and Crown Forest Pack-

2020 Crown packaging’s production facility in Richmond ranks as the largest corrugated manufacturing plant in western Canada.

aging (paper products). After further Fletcher Challenge acquisitions in 1987, the paper products business changed its name to Crown Packaging, remaining so for the next five years. In 1992, the packaging business was acquired from Fletcher Challenge by two long-time packaging industry veterans Hans Koch and Tim Dwayne, joining their existing sheet plant operation Boxmaster in Delta, B.C. “A year later they expanded by purchasing the western Canadian assets of Cascades Paperboard Industries,” according to Miedema, “adding folding carton to the increasing diversity of products offered by the company.” This structure lasted until 2001, when the U.S.-based Port Townsend Paper Corporation (PTPC) acquired Crown Packaging, Boxmaster and all other Canadian operating locations, with the exception of the folding carton division. “As part of the focus on their core business of corrugated packaging, Port Townsend chose to collapse most of the converted paper operations at the Richmond facility,” Miedema relates. “In 2007 PTPC acquired Tekpac Packaging, a small operation in the Okanagan, which was fully integrated into the Crown Packaging manufacturing locations.” After further manufacturing consolidation in 2010, the company’s two core manufacturing assets have been pared down to the two main production facilities in Richmond and Delta. “Since then Crown Packaging has continued to operate in a similar fashion,” Miedema states, “albeit under different investment companies.” Currently operating as part of the Crown Paper Group (CPG) of companies owned by the U.S. private equity firm Lindsay Goldberg—along with Boxmaster Packaging, Port Townsend Paper Company and multiple Montebello Container locations in the Los Angeles area—Crown Packaging today focuses primarily on containerboard production and corrugated packaging, according to Miedema. “The Canadian packaging locations are focused on a wide range of corrugated packaging—from specialty items like displays and complex retail packaging to mainstream master-case packing and direct food retail packaging, such as hothouse trays.” As Miedema explains, the steady long-term decline of general manufacturing industries throughout western Canada has led Crown Packaging to concentrate primarily on the food and beverage sectors, which now account for about 80 per cent of the company’s revenues. Miedema says that food industry customers in British Columba and Alberta drive for bulk of the company’s annual sales, along with some select northern regions of the neighboring State of Washington to the south. Today employing approximately 350 full-time people at the Richmond and Delta plants, “Crown Packaging has built its firm foundation over all these years on deep relationships with customers—offering the highest level of quality and service,” Miedema proclaims. Today ranking as the largest corrugated facility in western Canada and the largest corrugated volume supplier to the B.C. market, Crown Packaging is proud to remain one of the handful of original PAC founders still in business today.

“Although I cannot personally answer what made Canadian Boxes join the originally formed PAC, or to speak for the other ownership groups that followed, I could surmise that it was done for the combined benefit of industry knowledge and the ability for a larger industry group like PAC to lobby the governments and policy makers on behalf of each of the packaging sectors it represents,” Miedema reflects. “In addition, there are synergies that arise when working together with other types of packaging companies such as flexible film, plastic bottles, etc., to ultimately get the final consumer products on the shelves or to their destinations,” adds Miedema, who has served as director of the PAC British Columbia Chapter between 2000 and 2005. “I personally taught Corrugated 101 when the PAC offered the short course in our region,” says Miedema, praising PAC’s diversified and evolving offering of educational services and resources for the Canadian packaging community. Says Miedema: “Working together under the PAC umbrella creates valuable opportunities for education in all our packaging sectors, while also helping to bring the customer-supplier relationships closer together. “Bringing together this knowledge base and improving the relationships among its member-companies are key to moving forward into the future both as companies and as the packaging industry at large.” With packaging sustainability expected to become an ever-growing feature of that future, Crown Packaging seems well-poised to continue its tradition of maintaining healthy business growth, “while still meeting our need to responsibly balance social, environmental and economic interests for future generations,” according to the company. By obtaining the vaunted global FSC Chain of Custody and Controlled Wood Standards certification of the Forestry Stewardship Council(FSC) in July of 2010, Crown Packaging today boasts an exemplary environmental profile that is continually reinforced on a daily basis through concrete proactive actions throughout its operations. According to Crown, “Our Richmond facility is actively pursuing measures to reduce our environmental footprint through initiatives that include: • Using recycled liners and mediums where appropriate; • Making responsible ink supply choices; • Using recycled fuel oil; • Increasing energy efficiency; • Reducing waste wherever possible through internal recycling programs targeting OCC containers (as much as 700 tonnes per month), plastic strapping and stretchwrap, office paper, toner and ink cartridges, fluorescent light tubes, used engine oil and antifreeze, computers and peripherals, batteries, metal and other scrap. As the company proudly states, “Our sustainability successes are measured in economic growth, sound environmental practices, and a considerable commitment to providing our employees with a safe and healthy workplace.”

THE BONDS THAT BIND

Leading global packaging adhesives supplier making the most of its active presence in the Canadian marketplace through continuous product innovation

uilding strong and lasting bonds comes naturally to a company like Henkel Adhesive Technologies—the world’s Number One producer of adhesives, sealants and functional coatings for both industrial and consumer markets. As part of German chemical and consumer products powerhouse Henkel AG & Company, KGaA—also one of global leaders in laundry, home-care and beauty products—the Düsseldorf-headquartered company is in many ways the proverbial glue that holds the global packaging industry together. It is therefore only fitting that it would also be one of the original founders behind the formation of the original Packaging Association of Canada (PAC) in 1950, albeit under a different corporate identity and despite the roundabout way of earning its elevated status in the Canadian packaging community. In fact, Henkel’s direct entry into the Canadian adhesives market under its original name did not come about until 2008, when its parent company acquired the Brampton, Ont.-based adhesive manufacturer Nacan Products Ltd., a subsidiary of the U.S.-based National Starch & Chemical Company. Today headquartered a short drive west of Toronto in Mississauga, Ont., Henkel Canada Corporation operates a total of five Canadian-based locations in southwestern Ontario, representing all three of the parent company’s core business units. On the CPG (consumer packaged goods) side of the business, Henkel is a highly reputed brand-owner of many beloved brands such as Dial soaps; Right Guard antiperspirants; Persil, Purex and Sunlight laundry detergents; and the Schwarzkopf range of professional hair-care products. As for the company’s adhesives business, which accounts for 47 per cent of Henkel’s worldwide revenues of just over $29 billion, its prominence in the Canadian market is strongly reflected by the enduring popularity of well-known and trusted brands such as Loctite, Lepage, Pritt, Technomelt, Aquence and Bonderite. In light of such a well-diversified product portfolio, Henkel’s continued membership in PAC Packaging Consortium is as much a strategic market imperative as it is a nod to history and an expression of good corporate citizenship. “At Henkel, we value the PAC membership as a good way to remain connected to our customer base, to understand their challenges, and to provide them with sustainable, efficient, reliable, differentiated, secure and innovative solutions,” says Ingrid Gagné, business director for Canada for packaging, consumer goods and construction adhesives. “We combine innovation and technology leadership with close customer partnership to deliver solutions that are an essential part of countless industrial and consumer goods,” says Gagné, lauding PAC for the multiple networking, collaboration and educational opportunities that the 70-year-old industry group provides for its members. Says Gagné: “The PAC is a true leader in providing the companies and individuals to learn the most up-to-date information affecting the world of packaging in Canada. “With Henkel being a leader in the adhesives market, it is important for us to be a member of a leading industry advocacy group organization that enhances our total involvement in the packaging markets we serve,” says Gagné, citing PAC’s comprehensive range of educational courses, summits, conferences, seminars, webinars and social activities. “They all offer real value in helping to understand, anticipate and respond to the market trends in a timely manner,” says Gagné, “while building an effective network of like-minded people and companies with the same goals as us.” As Gagné happily points out, Henkel Canada often offers the services of its technical and engineering experts to lead training seminars and workshops on

adhesive technologies around the country, providing expert education and instruction for hundreds of packaging professionals. “The PAC offers a perfect forum for us to educate other PAC members on adhesive technology and the impact they have on the packaging market through continuous innovation and adoption of new patented products,” says Gagné, emphasizing Henkel’s firm commitment to the Canadian market and customer base. “We utilize our global presence and our expert knowledge to offer a winning combination of best-in-class service and leading technologies to customers and consumers in Canada and around the world,” she states. “For packaging and consumer goods adhesives business, we work with customers to develop innovative solutions for the production of grocery packaging and consumer goods with breakthrough innovations, tailor-made solutions and strong brands,” Gagné explains. “Beyond an appealing design, consumers are seeking onthe-go packages with reliability, security and sustainability as a cornerstone.

PAC is a true leader in providing the companies and individuals to learn the most up-to-date information affecting the world of packaging.

“Because each package needs to give consumers assurance that its contents meet the brand’s promise,” she notes, “manufacturers are increasingly turning to Henkel when navigating consumer needs. “Each product application has different adhesive needs,” Gagné relates,“and we work closely with manufacturers and brand-owners to offer solutions focused on what they need to deliver exceptional products to their customers.” According to Gagné, Henkel continuously strives to excel across the full spectrum of food and beverage packaging applications. “Henkel adhesives provide excellent bond on a wide range of case/carton sealing and bottle/container labeling applications,” she states. “We offer food safety paired with improved cost of packaging operations through high consumption efficiency and excellent clean processing. “For flexible packaging, Henkel Adhesives help manufacturers reduce layers and weight, while consumers can enjoy their favorite food and live more sustainably by producing less film and foil waste in food packaging, as well as in healthcare, pharmaceutical and cosmetic packaging. “All in all, understanding how we support an enhanced consumer experience in each application is critical to how we bring value to our customer business.” Looking forward, Gagné says Henkel will intensify its efforts to provide more sustainable packaging solutions as part of the company’s ambitious and far-reaching sustainability strategy focusing on recyclability, compostability and all other key aspects of carbon footprint reduction. “As a recognized leader in sustainability, we hold top positions in many international indices and rankings,” Gagné concludes,“because a better environment is paramount to our business, our customers and everyday consumers.”

ROCK OF AGES

Corrugated packaging powerhouse leverages strong Canadian asset base to consolidate its leadership positioning in the competitive marketplace

itting rock bottom is a harsh price to pay for past overindulgences and excess excesses. And for the venerable forest products industry, facing up to a terminal decline in market demand for many once-essential commodities like newsprint since the start of the new millennium has been an exceptionally painful ordeal manifested by multiple mill closings, massive job cuts, staggering financial losses, and continued public criticism of the sector’s alleged environmental legacy of mass pollution and deforestation. But while it may be too early to assume that papermaking business is now out of the woods for good, the painful industry restructuring, consolidation and downsizing triggered by an onset of a prolonged M&A (Mergers and Acquisitions) frenzy throughout the forest industries at last appears to be bearing fruit, as evidenced by emergence of new industry leaders working hard to put the sector’s destiny back into its own hands. Headquartered in Atlanta, Ga., the publicly-traded corrugated packaging group WestRock Company—currently ranking as the second-largest packaging producer in America—provides compelling evidence of the industry’s resilience and ability to reinvent and transform itself for the greater good of all the key stakeholders. Formed as a result of a landmark US$16-billion merger of one-time industry goliaths RockTenn Company and MeadWestvaco Corporation in the summer of 2015, the company is one of the world’s largest paper and packaging companies, with over US$18 billion in annual revenues and nearly 50,000 employees in 30 countries. In addition to the many synergies and economies of scale that the milestone merger offered, the new corporate entity can also boast nearly 300 years of combined industry knowledge, expertise and leadership in the papermaking business.

PAC does a great job of remaining bipartisan and ‘packaging neutral,’ giving its stakeholders the security that they are in a safe place to discuss key topics to the market

The company’s origins date back to the 19th century with the founding of Rock City Box Company in Nashville, Tenn., in 1898, which eventually became RockTenn Company. For its part, the origins of MeadWestvaco can be traced back to 1846 with the founding of Ellis, Chaflin & Co., which adopted the Mead Paper Company moniker in 1882. In 2002, Mead acquired the assets of Westvaco (originally Piedmont Pulp and Paper Company and then West Virginia Pulp and Paper Company) to form MeadWestvaco. Happily for Canada, WestRock’s formidable manufacturing assets and prowess are currently well represented in the Great White North with a well-run operational network comprising 16 modern and highly efficient production

plants. “WestRock is proud to do business in Canada, where we operate a number of consumer and corrugated facilities,” says WestRock’s corporate communications manager Courtney James. “We have six consumer packaging facilities in Canada to serve the food and beverage markets, our largest, and the consumer mills segments,” says James, citing a beverage packaging plant in Ajax, Ont.; two Quebec-based foldingcarton plants in Warwick and Sainte-Marie; and three designated MPS (Multi Packaging Solutions) plants in Montreal, Toronto and Mississauga, Ont. Additionally, West Rock also operates 10 corrugated plants that include: • Two display facilities (manufacturing and assembly) in the GTA (Greater Toronto Area) region; • Two Quebec-based mills in Pointe Aux Trembles and La Tuque; • Six container plants in Milton and Guelph, Ont.; Town Mount Royal, Que.; and in Calgary, Winnipeg, and Regina. WestRock’s prolific Canadian presence is suitably underlined with its continued active membership in PAC Packaging Consortium, the leading packaging industry advocacy in Canada. Originally obtained back in 1950 by one of Rock’s many ancestor companies Martin Paper Product Limited, the company’s PAC membership remains a source of pride and a strong show of respect for the markets that WestRock serves, according to James. “WestRock’s membership in PAC is part of our efforts to be better informed and connected to the packaging industry as a genuine global sector in its own right,” says James. “Being able to sit on the PAC board and advise on how to engage in some of the shifts pertaining to sustainable packaging is exceptionally valuable for us. “It is great to hear other perspectives on the markets that might come from other segments within the packaging market,”James adds. “We genuinely appreciate the opportunity to listen to and learn from a wide range of perspectives from the market, and to branch out past our industry into

2020 CPG (consumer packaged goods) and retail communities.” According to James, PAC’s wellrecognized knowledge and expertise in the area of packaging sustainability aligns perfectly with the company’s deep-rooted commitment to its own sustainability agenda. Citing the widely lauded WestRock Packaging Sustainability Study, released in December of 2018, “Three-quarters of consumers say packaging is an important way for them to learn more about a brand’s interests around sustainability,” James points out. “Helping our customers win means developing new ways to connect people to products through packaging that enhances relationships between brands and their customers, while also minimizing environmental impact,” James explains. “Our Packaging Matters data show that these two priorities are not mutually exclusive.” As James proclaims, “It’s time to think of sustainability not only through the lens of reducing our impact on the environment, but also increasing our transition to the Circular Economy at large.” While WestRock acknowledges the positive impact on paper producers generated by the unfolding public backlash against plastic packaging, James stresses that material substitution alone is not the answer to true packaging sustainability. “Plastics replacement is important, but we are thinking beyond replacing plastics and exploring ways to advance the strength and sustainability of fiber-based packaging,” James explains. “The challenge facing us all is to move towards packaging that is right-sized, made from renewable materials, and recyclable and/or compostable,” she states, while complimenting PAC president and chief executive officer Jim Downham for maintaining a “material-neutral” agenda for PAC membership. “The PAC does a great job of remaining bipartisan and ‘packaging neutral,’ giving its stakeholders the security that they are in a safe place to discuss key topics to the market,” James states. “Both PAC and Jim Downham have been solid advocates for the packaging industry that they represent, with the PAC positioning itself very well with governmental and non-governmental stakeholders throughout the years,” she adds.

“Above all, PAC continues to add value to our business through educational programs and industry collaborations,” says James, stressing the importance of cross-industry collaborations going forward to address mounting environmental challenges for the packaging community. “Our vision is to be the premier partner and unrivaled provider of winning solutions to our customers,” James proclaims. “WestRock delivers value to our customers by helping them grow their sales, lower their total cost, minimize their

risk and improve their sustainability. “Our ability to bring innovation and insights to help our customers win is unmatched,” says James. “We understand the global marketplace and we always strive to implement new, improved ways of meeting customer needs through the solutions we deliver and the ways we operate—especially when it comes to advancing sustainable packaging,” James concludes. “It’s the right thing to do for the planet, and it’s the right thing to do for our customers.”

PUT IT DOWN IN WRITING Leading industry publication working hard to enhance its relevance and viability in the new digital age

hile it would be all too easy to dismiss the popular ongoing “print is dead” narrative as fake news, it’s fair to say that the rumours of the medium’s pending demise may have been greatly exaggerated, at least for the time being. Despite the sadly shocking closures of many once-indispensible daily newspapers and consumer magazines in recent years, some venerable publications— particularly in the B2B (business-to-business) industry segment—are happy to be bucking the trend by refusing to fade away quietly into the night. As you would expect, the Canadian Packaging magazine is both proud and humbled to remain one of those enduring keepers of the faith. Started up back in 1947 by former Canadian magazine publishing giant Maclean Hunter Limited, the 78-year-old publication remains as committed as ever to fulfilling its original mandate of keeping Canada’s packaging community informed of the latest news, trends and developments impacting their day-today business with high-quality editorial product both in print and, increasingly, in the fast-growing digital domain. “Today, Canadian Packaging offers the consumer packaged goods and packaging converting markets a plethora of print and digital products reaching tens of thousands of packaging decision-makers in the food, beverage, drug, cosmetic, household product and industrial markets,” says senior publisher Stephen Dean, who originally joined the magazine as a sales rep back in 1981. Says Dean: “Canadian Packaging serves its audience with a combination of packaging news from around the world and a keen eye to what packaging strategies and practices work best for the CPG (consumer packaged goods) companies across the country. “Our readers continuously commend us on our detailed coverage of the

packaging materials, containers and technology used across the full range of companies—from energetic startups to established multinationals.” In addition to his daily job responsibilities as the magazine’s senior publisher, Dean has also served as director on the Central (Ontario) Chapter of Canada’s leading packaging industry organization PAC Packaging Consortium for most of the past decade. As he relates, the special relationship nurtured over the years between the magazine and the 70-year-old industry group can be traced right back to the founding days of its predecessor Packaging Association of Canada (PAC). “According to popular folklore, it was actually Canadian Packaging editor at the time, Charlie Cornell, who came up with the idea to start an association to

Colorful history sets the stage for a promising future

ot many packaging companies in business today can trace their roots all the way back to the 19th Century, but Hood Packaging Corporation is not your ordinary packaging company. Originally incorporated in Montreal as Canada Jute Company in 1882 and later amalgamated into The Canadian Bag Company in 1906, the privately-owned firm is a unique embodiment of ageless corporate longevity and reinvention. After forming a joint-venture company with the U.S. based Bemis Corporation in 1937, the new entity—specializing in but jute, cotton and sewn bags— was acquired in 1941 by the U.K.-based Thomas Bonar Company, which proceeded to modernize the purchased facilities to meet growing demand for the then-groundbreaking paper bags. During the 1960s, Bonar & Bemis/Thomas Bonar Company Ltd carried out a series of acquisitions to grow and consolidate its market share—ultimately moving its headquarters to Burlington, Ont., in 1973. During that period, Bonar added new manufacturing facilities in Calgary and Guelph, Ont., while upgrading its central plant in East Angus, Que., with modern high-speed production equipment. South of the border, meanwhile, Southern Bag Corporation, Ltd. (which changed its name to Hood Packaging Corporation) was going through a period of rapid growth and expansion during the 1990. In 2000, it purchases Bonar, Inc. to became a true binational leader in the packaging industry. With headquarters in Burlington, Ont., and Madison, Miss., Hood Packaging Corporation today operates 23 manufacturing facilities in 16 states and provinces across North America. Employing about 2,350 people in total, the company serves a highly diverse range of industries, including cement, grout and mortar; bakery and flour, dairy, foodservice, frozen food, animal feed, lawn and garden, insulation, and shingle and roofing.

PAC is doing “an outstanding job” in respect to industry advocacy on issues related to sustainability, environment and government regulations.

TRANSCONTINENTAL TRANSFORMATION

Montreal printer transforms itself into a global flexible packaging powerhouse fueled by unrelenting focus on research and entrepreneurship

hanging with the times is all part of growing up and becoming an industry stalwart, even when those changes come from most unexpected sources. For Montreal-headquartered flexible packaging giant TC Transcontinental, which was actually formed in 1976, the company’s flurry of intense M&A activity in the latter part of the last decade has led it to acquire a wealth of historical legacy that can be traced right back to formation of the Packaging Association of Canada (PAC) back in 1950. That year, former Toronto-based flexible packaging and film coatings producer Nor Baker Inc. joined 14 other like-minded companies to found the 70-year-old industry group today known as PAC Packaging Consortium. In 2000, Nor Baker was acquired by the U.S.-based Plassein Packaging Corporation, which was then acquired by Exopack in 2003. In 2005, Exopack itself was acquired by U.S.-based venture capital fund Sun Capital Partners and merged with the fund’s other packaging assets, comprising Cello-Foil Products, Inc. and The Packaging Group. In 2013, Chicago-based Exopack Holdings S.A. rebranded itself to Coveris as part of a merger with several European-based packaging firms also acquired by Sun Capital. Around the same time,TC Transcontinental set out to diversify its core print-

ing and media business units by aggressively investing into the growing North American flexible packaging business, starting with the acquisition of Clinton Mo.-based flexible packaging supplier Capri Packaging in 2014. “This acquisition represented an important strategic move for the corporation into a new promising growth area,” says Mélanie Montplaisir, Transcontinental’s manager of public relations and brand management. “We evaluated various industries where we could leverage our manufacturing competency and we make sure to remain agile to find the most promising

2020 opportunities to ensure sustainable and profitable growth,” Montplaisir explains. “The printed flexible packaging industry was rapidly identified as a natural fit, given that some of the production processes were similar to TC Transcontinental’s printing operations and that the market offered many opportunities for growth.” Following the purchase of Capri, the company’s newly-formed TC Transcontinental Packaging division swiftly proceeded to acquire and integrate another five strategicallylocated flexible packaging plants in the U.S. and Canada in the next few years—building up a well-knit operational network stretching from the West Coast of Canada to the U.S. eastern seaboard. This busy stretch of M&A activity hit its grand peak in 2018 with the game-changing “transformative” US1.69-billion acquisition of Coveris Americas assets from Sun Capital. The landmark purchase instantly moved Transcontinental Packaging into one of North America’s top 10 flexible packaging producers, employing about 4,300 people at 28 manufacturing facilities in Canada, the U.S., Latin America and New Zealand. “Today, the TC Transcontinental Packaging network is comprised of one pre-media studio and 29 pro-

duction plants specializing in extrusion, lamination, printing and converting to offer a broad variety of flexible plastic and paper products, including rollstock, bags and pouches, shrink films and bags, and advanced coatings,” Montplaisir relates. “This enables us to serve a diverse variety of markets,” she says, “including dairy, coffee, meat and poultry, pet food, agriculture, beverage, confectionery, industrial, consumer products and supermarkets.” SupervacTwoSeals_Large_BonelessBeef_2014July_CP_Reiser 9/2/14 Led by a highly competent senior management team

headed by chair of the board Isabelle Marcoux, daughter of Transcontinental’s founder Rémi Marcoux, and wife of chief executive officer François Olivier, the company has quickly proven itself to be a natural-born industry leader built on four critical core competencies. According to Montplaisir, these include: • Strong R&D (research-and-development) teams and entrepreneurial spirit, “Allowing us to meet our customers needs and create products that are ahead of the 6:21 PM Page 1 market trends.”

Supervac automatic belt vacuum chamber packaging machines feature a Double Biactive high-pressure sealing system that provides two superior seals to every bag, virtually eliminating leakers and the problems they cause. Superior seals are just the start. Supervac machines reduce labor costs while increasing productivity. Their ergonomic design allows a single operator to load, style and run the packages. Supervac’s exclusive Expansion Cushion reduces evacuation times by up to 30%, pushing the operator to keep up with the machine and resulting in more packages at the end of the day. Their small footprint allows the Supervac to fit into tight areas where other machines cannot. Its low cost of ownership and stainless steel construction make Supervac GK662B, Supervac the smart choice.

Adds TC Transcontinental Packaging’s account manager for business development Roberto Travaglini: “The PAC has been an amazing support partner for addressing all the key challenges facing packaging producers in all key sectors like corrugated, folding cartons, rigid plastics, flexibles, etc. “The sheer multitude of different events that they organize provides us with insight into other packaging sectors that we would not normally encounter,” Travaglini states.

VALUED PROPOSITION

Respect for the environment is key to respecting all the markets we serve BY JESUS ATIAS

ow Chemical Company sprang into being back in 1897 as a brainchild of Canadian-born American chemical industrialist Hebert Henry Dow—an electrochemical pioneer who first gained fame and commercial success in 1891 by introducing a novel way to separate bromides from brine by using electric current. While his parents had moved from his birthplace of Belleville, Ont., back to the U.S. just a few weeks after Henry’s birth, the company he founded went on become a household name in the Canadian manufacturing circles a few decades later—starting up its first Canadian manufacturing facility in 1942 in Sarnia, Ont. Since then, Dow has been proudly operating in Canada continuously for 78 years—developing basic chemicals and plastics used to make a broad range of innovative and technology-based products and solutions in the packaging, industrial, infrastructure, and consumer care industries. Today, the company employs approximately 1,000 people in Canada at several locations, including its headquarters in Calgary, and at its manufacturing locations in Fort Saskatchewan and Prentiss, Alta., West Hill and Corunna, Ont., and at its Eastern Canada Regional Sales Centre in Toronto. With net sales of US$50 billion in 2018, the globally operating company employs 37,000 people at 113 manufacturing sites around the globe—ranking as one of the world’s three largest chemical producers—with its Dow Packaging and Specialty Plastics (P&SP) division being its largest business unit. In addition to being one of the world’s largest producers of polyethylene resins, functional polymers and adhesives, Dow P&SP is a leading innovator and collaborator across the value chain on sustainable applications development and the Circular Economy life-cycle design for plastics. Dow’s ability to innovate at the intersection of chemistry, engineering and material science has brought solutions that differentiate its customers while positively impacting the world—including lightweight carbon fibers for cars and a broad range of packaging solutions that help make food safer and stay fresh longer.

Dow has benefitted from the many opportunities provided by PAC to collaborate and foster conversations around sustainability and innovation with like-minded organizations.

With plastic waste widely acknowledged to be one of the most important and pressing sustainability issues of our time, Dow believes that plastic is too valuable to be lost as waste, and that is should be an integral part of a Circular Economy, whereby the value of plastic is retained from design to disposal. To this end, we are engaged in numerous initiatives to “close the loop” and ensure that no plastic ends up in the environment or is lost to landfill. Our three-part strategy represents our commitment to finding ways in which we can continue to provide the convenience of plastic, the protection of plastic, the affordability and safety of plastic, while ensuring that none of that plastic ends up in the environment or is lost to landfill.

24 www.pac.ca

We are working to keep plastic out of the environment by innovating new applications for recycled plastics to demonstrate that a circular world is not that far out of reach. For example: • Dow is working with partners around the globe to construct polymer-modified asphalt roads with PCR (post-consumer recycled) plastic. Recently, the company was named to the Fortune magazine’s 2019 Change the World list for collaborating with value chain partners to build nearly 100 kilometers of asphalt roads with PCR content across Asia, Europe, North America and Latin America. The projects have diverted nearly 200 metric tons of plastic, equivalent to 50 million flexible pouches, from becoming litter or entering a landfill. • Dow is also helping to build structures using self-assembling bricks made out of recycled plastic. (See picture on left) We’ve built four schools to date in Colombia to create new learning spaces for more than 400 students, while diverting 16 tons of plastic waste. There are currently eight more such schools under construction. We know that we can’t solve the plastic waste issue alone. It will take all of us—industry peers, associations, governments, non-governmental organizations,

PAC CONNECT 2020

2020 brands, retailers and consumers— working together to make a difference. We are all partners in this cause to end plastic waste in the environment, which is why Dow is proud to be a founding a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste (AEPW). This newly-formed organization has jointly committed more than US$1 billion—with the goal of raising another $1.5 billion over the next five years—to develop and scale solutions that manage plastic waste and promote post-use solutions for plastic. Implementing a four-part strategy that focuses on infrastructure, innovation, education and clean-up, AEPW is developing scalable solutions that will minimize and manage plastic waste, while promoting solutions that will drive a circular economy for plastic. Dow is also a founding investor in Circulate Capital’s $100-million Ocean Fund, which is the first fund and incubatory focused specifically on preventing ocean plastic—particularly in South Asia. Many countries in that part of the world have been identified as contributing disproportionately to ocean plastic pollution—primarily because they lack the critical waste infrastructure to manage the problem. Working with our partner UPM Biofuels in Europe, Dow is turning waste residue from paper production into naphtha, creating an alternative and renewable feedstock for plastics production. Sourced from sustainably managed forests, this waste product is extracted as a residue when separating wood fiber for pulp production. Naturally, Dow is also proud of its status as one of the original founders of PAC Packaging Consortium. While much has changed in the 70 years since Dow supported the creation of PAC, the organization’s value to the Canadian packaging community has remained as relevant as ever. Over the years, PAC has offered a wide range of opportunities for innovation, networking and training, and Dow has benefitted from the many opportunities provided by PAC to collaborate and foster conversations around sustainability and innovation with like-minded organizations. Collaboration across leading organizations such as PAC in the packaging value chain is more important than ever as we continue to innovate packaging solutions that move us to-

wards a Circular Economy. One of those exciting new product innovations is AGILITY CE, which is the first of Dow’s new polyolefins portfolio to incorporate a percentage of post-consumer plastic waste. Manufactured for use in shrink films as secondary packaging for transporting packs of cans or bottles, the material’s formulation consists of a low-density polyethylene (LDPE) compound incorporating up to 70-percent post-consumer plastic waste, while ensuring the consistency of the material and functionality for its final application.

Ink Jet Printer

By any measure, Dow is genuinely passionate about advancing recycling capabilities, designing products for recyclability, innovating recycling technologies, and finding new ways to incorporate recycled content into the resins we sell—with the single ultimate aim of increasing the amount of plastic recycled and reused worldwide. Jesus Atias is sustainability manager for North America at Dow Packaging and Specialty Plastics in Midland, Mich.

serve the packaging profession in Canada back in 1949,” Dean recounts. After selling the merits of the idea to his boss and future Maclean Hunter president Donald Hunter, Cornell invited a group of select packaging suppliers, end-users, retailers and other industry stakeholders to convene at the MacleanHunter headquarters in downtown Toronto, where the group formed an action plan to bring the proposed association into being the following year. Since then, Canadian Packaging and PAC have collaborated on countless joint initiatives for the benefit of both the PAC membership and the Canadian packaging community at large, while duly respecting each other’s autonomy, interests and spheres of influence. “Canadian Packaging is a proud member of PAC,” Dean asserts, “and we are committed to working hand-in-hand with the association to promote its services to its members and to encourage others to become members.” Ironically, the Canadian Packaging magazine has in many respects experienced the impact of accelerated industry consolidation that mirrors the overall thinning of the ranks within Canada’s packaging in recent years as a result of relentless industry-wide M&A (mergers and acquisitions) activity on a global scale. After Maclean Hunter was acquired by an integrated media giant Rogers Communications in 1994, Canadian Packaging was eventually sold to Vancouver-headquartered B2B media group Glacier Media in 2011, which in turn sold the publication to its current owner, Annex Business Media, three years

later. While these ownership changes naturally had some impact on some of the magazine’s day-to-day activities, most long-time subscribers to the publication probably remain oblivious to those changes, which is exactly how it should be for any magazine aspiring to retain and grow its readership base. If anything, the magazine’s mutually beneficial relationship with PAC Packaging Consortium has only grown stronger over the years, according to its editor George Guidoni, who joined the publication during its Rogers Media days in 1997. “As an editorial resource, PAC provides unrivaled opportunities for making new contacts within the industry and helping us stay on top of packaging trends and hot-button issues impacting the industry: from integrating printed electronics into packaging, for example, to packaging sustainability and the impact of government legislations,” Guidoni says. “No wonder it is such a highly respected voice of authority on the Canadian packaging business around the world among its peers and counterparts,” Guidoni points out. “The PAC has been absolutely instrumental in advancing the cause of sustainable packaging across Canada and beyond for the last decade,” he notes. “Its close collaboration with Walmart Canada around the turn of the last decade, focusing on retailer’s then-revolutionary Walmart Packaging Scorecard, produced several outstanding two-day conferences attracting hundreds of attendees from across the country, year after year, to listen to the world’s foremost thought leaders on packaging sustainability, along with senior executives from some of the world’s biggest CPG and retail companies,” Guidoni adds. “And that’s just one example of many outstanding initiatives that PAC has implemented under the leadership of president Jim Downham to reinforce its status as the undisputed champion of Canada’s packaging community and its causes.” Adds Dean: “We find it most interesting to see how PAC has evolved as a leader in training, education, and accreditation and certifications in sustainability and food safety. “We believe that PAC has much to offer in advocacy in areas such as sustainability, plastics and packaging end-of-life, while maintaining a packaging material neutrality that treats all packaging materials and styles as equals, whereby each has something to offer for the greater good of the industry and society at large,” he points out. “The biennial PAC conventions, along with newer events such as the One of 100 branding conferences in New York City, continuously offer high-quality speakers and networking experiences that cannot be easily duplicated in the global packaging community,” Dean adds. “With the growing demands and expectations being placed on CPG companies and their packaging suppliers by consumers and retailers, “Dean concludes, “we believe that PAC has more than ever a critical role to play in educating, rallying and advocating on behalf of one of the most utilitarian and useful inventions of the modern age—packaging.”

Unlimited The key to the D-Series flexibility is a smaller i-Tech scan head, connected to the laser tube on a multiposition mount. The head can be rotated through 90 degree steps to allow for many mounting positions, and because it is so much smaller, it can easily fit where bigger lasers cannot.

Unlimited Increased power and speed, combined with an optional IP65-rated version, result in the D620i laser, that is equal to the most demanding applications and environments. RapidScan makes our lasers 20% faster for high-speed applications than other scribing lasers. Unlimited Domino's i-Tech Ribbon Drive offers 4 ribbon save settings including 'Economy Mode' which allows you to use up to 60% less ribbon per print - without affecting print quality.
