Accelerated Innovation in Trade Shows, Too

Joseph Angel President/Publisher

Matt Reynolds Editor

Connect with us: Comment. Network. Stay current with industry insiders.

e’ve used this column space to opine, as recently as August (read “Volatility Breeds Leaps Forward” at www.pwgo.to/5754), that turbulent times lead to accelerated innovation. Since the pandemic took hold, we’d been hearing about expected uptick in remote access, remote monitoring, and virtual FAT adoption. We’d also been hearing about brands redoubling their sustainability efforts to meet a more socially conscious post-pandemic consumer on the other side. And packagers are still scrambling to re-balance volume between what used to seem to be nearly fixed channels of retail, foodservice, e-comm, and institutional. These changes have been less about new things becoming possible, and more about a recalibration and reapplication of existing tools to match a new landscape. We’re happy to report that we’ve been able to take our own advice. Packaging World and PMMI Media Group have spent the last six months building an event platform to serve as a bridge between you the latest packaging technology. We’ll officially put it into use with PACK EXPO Connects, coming in November (register at www.pwgo.to/5755). Culled from months of end-user interviews and decades of industry knowledge and digital marketing expertise, we present an online event that reflects what the industry now requires. This involves virtual showrooms for demos, live chats with product experts, and widespread opportunities for tailored education. The intuitive, state-of-the-art interactive platform simplifies live engagement with exhibitors via the MyConnects planner, giving you direct access to the top suppliers and their solutions to your packaging challenges. This physical copy of Showcase should serve as a preview of what to expect during PACK EXPO Connects. Over five days, Nov. 9-13, live showroom hours will run Monday through Thursday, 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. CST and Friday 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. CST. Prior to the showrooms’ opening, we’ll kick off each day with a topical, hour-long news program, called Jumpstart, starting at 9 a.m. CST (see page 10). Each day also features International demo hours to expand PACK EXPO Connects, global reach. International demos will be broadcasting at 10:00 a.m. China Standard time (10:00 p.m. CST) and 10:00 a.m. Greenwich Mean time (4:00 a.m. CST). These time slots will enable exhibitors to demonstrate their solutions and enjoy live interaction with attendees outside the Western Hemisphere. Educational sessions, such as the always-popular Innovation Stages (page 8) will also be available on-demand for international attendees to watch at times convenient to them. Since this is a new endeavor, we created a preview week (Nov. 2-6) for registered attendees to browse among our 2600 live demo descriptions, build a MyConnects planner, and save items to Outlook calendars. This easy pre-planning step will ensure you make the most of your time at PACK EXPO Connects. We all miss in-person events. But in light of the downright absurd year we’ve all experienced in 2020, extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. We’re proud to be able to make something happen that will connect you directly with latest tech in packaging. Hey, you can bring the whole team, and nobody will have to worry about hand sanitizer, masks, or the awkward elbow-tap handshakes. So, until we meet again in person, let’s meet online at PACK EXPO Connects. Visit www.pwgo.to/5755 to register today. Packaging World will ‘see’ you there! PW

Cece’s Veggie Co-Founders Helps Roll Out Regional Brand Accelerators

Packaging is an omnipresent element of consumer packaged goods industries like food. Hey, it’s in the name. We tapped our counterparts at distinguished vertical publications to report on their respective markets as they relate to packaging.

Packaging professionals in general seem fairly insulated from much of the economic fallout of COVID-19, though not everyone is weathering the storm equally.

A very patient Mason Arnold, founder of the fast-growing Cece’s Veggie Co. lines of vegetable-based noodle replacements, braved his host Matt Reynolds’ ultra-slow internet speed to tell PW all about the growing Naturally umbrella of emerging brand incubators.

In the months leading up to the announcement of PACK EXPO Connects, PMMI Media Group conducted extensive end user interviews with some of the world’s leading CPGs. These all-encompassing in-depth interviews had one goal: To ensure PACK EXPO Connects represents exactly what the packaging and processing industry wants out of a web-based event. Immediately, the number one request across the board was a desire not only to see live technology, but also to have the ability to interact with exhibitors during the video demos of actual machines. PACK EXPO Connects delivers the technology for exhibitors to conduct these interactive connections, complete with live chat features, resembling virtual Factory Acceptance Tests (FATs). These live video demos, coupled with the ability to interact with technical personnel and product experts, best mimic and fulfill the expectations and experience of what attendees expect from an in-person event. This also reinforced the need for a collective group of exhibitors demonstrating technology in action, with PACK EXPO Connects offering a one-stop-shop for CPGs. Beyond experiencing technology in action, attendees want to spend their valuable time exploring new products, rather than existing products presented as new. PMMI Media Group solicited its in-house team of editors to vet what is and isn’t new, serving as neutral industry experts. Together, they will help make sure that attendees can track down the latest and greatest offerings and the virtual exhibitor showrooms presenting them. Finally, attendees wanted robust, engaging virtual exhibits. The research revealed that attendees are not impressed with fancy 3D renderings of booths on a computer screen. They want to quickly understand what products are available, see live demos, and connect with experts in real-time. As a group, participants revealed that they would prefer fully fleshed-out web-based showrooms, complete with live feedback and interactions vs. simple listings offering a static encounter. PACK EXPO Connects developed the package to ensure exhibitors can deliver the solutions to attendees’ current packaging and processing challenges. Free attendee registration launched Sept. 15, giving CPGs plenty of time and opportunity to prepare for preview week, Nov. 2-6. This soft opening is a key time for registered attendees to browse live demo descriptions, build their planner and save items to Outlook calendars. Organization and pre-planning are the means to success as there will be so much to see and experience at PACK EXPO Connects. As a bonus, www.PACKEXPOConnects.com will remain live until March 31, 2021, offering additional opportunities for attendees to connect with companies via their virtual showrooms.

VERTICAL PERSPECTIVES Brought to you by:

Vertical market probes begin to illustrate a ‘new normal’ In Vertical Perspectives, Packaging World invites its counterparts in certain vertical markets to tell us about their slice of the CPG industry. Just last year, the common theme among the five Sosland editors contributing to Vertical Perspectives was workforce development. While this is still a concern, the focus has shifted— widened, really—to somehow tell every story within the context of the pandemic. Our own Joyce Fassl illustrates, through research from ProFood World, that what folks had hoped would be restricted to a blip back in April is now recognized to be a protracted reinvention and recovery among food manufacturers. We asked Baking & Snack Editor Joanie Spencer how her industry is fairing. She agrees that while uncertainty is the new certainty, agile brands able to pivot and tailor their offering to a new, e-comm-heavy/foodservice-light mix and meet the customer where they increasingly are, have done well. Meanwhile, stalwart comfort foods on the opposite end of the spectrum have fared well, too. Josh Sosland, Editor, Milling and Baking News, reports an inversion of sorts. As some of the poorer performing grain-based foods categories in recent years have enjoyed eye-popping growth in recent demand, some of the previously faster-growing areas of the business, particularly those sold to foodservice, have suffered. Food Business News takes a business and finance tack in covering the food and beverage market. Executive Editor Keith Nunes says that while the specter of plant closures and supply chain disruptions continue to hang over the entire industry, big brands made huge expenditures to retrofit their plants for full production in a pandemic world. Joel Crews, Editor of MEAT+POULTRY, says the industry was doubly destabilized, both by the external abrupt shift from foodservice to retail and e-comm, and the internal issue with frontline workers in meat and poultry facilities contracting and suffering from the disease. Meanwhile Jennifer Semple, Editor of Pet Food Processing, has a refreshingly positive report about the apparently recession- and pandemic-proof pet food industry. Challenges persist for food and beverage CPGs, but people will still eat, and at a similar clip to that of pre-pandemic rates. The question becomes more logistics and internal production, rather than demand. Enjoy the unique perspectives that follow. —Matt Reynolds, Editor, Packaging World

Food and Beverage Manufacturers Rise to the Pandemic Challenges When the coronavirus began to infiltrate highly populated areas of the U.S. that quickly went on lockdown back in March, I was hopeful things would return to a new normal by the summer of 2020. Today, it’s still hard to get a true pulse on the industry when so many locations are at polar opposites in terms of disease outbreaks. Back in the spring, most food and beverage manufacturers lacked adequate personal protective equipment (PPE) at their facilities. With some informal polls I conducted in midsummer, the good news was PPE supply chains appeared to be intact. While some food and beverage processors are embracing robotics and remote equipment connectivity during these unprecedented times, many others have addressed the pandemic with outdoor shelters, additional lockers and breakrooms to enhance social distancing, more signage, and plexiglass partitions. Research conducted by ProFood World in April and May showed an anticipated high level of supply chain disruptions, and, unfortunately, my recent informal discussions with multiple food and beverage processors say these challenges are continuing. Other current challenges faced by processors include the ongoing labor crisis, greater demands to produce goods for grocery store customers, handling misinformation, and the difficulty in forecasting future production demands. In the packaging arena, another challenge is emerging. According to industry reports, an aluminum can shortage is causing out-of-stock beer and soda brands and less product offerings. Plus, consumers purchasing canned foods in bulk are only adding to the shortage. This combined with raw material shortages of steel and tin from China is delaying fulfillment of canned items for months, according to Marketplace.org. As the COVID-19 crisis continues, we have seen the launch of the Pandemic Prepared Certification, the first certification standard created for the food and beverage supply chain that elevates critical planning for people, facilities, and production. AIB International collaborated with government, academia, international agencies, and top brands to develop the standard for the following profi-

ciency areas: Pandemic Crisis Management, Supply Chain Management, Intermittent Operations Planning Management, Health Crisis Mitigation Measures and Management, and Pre-Requisite Program Review. Meanwhile the world’s largest food company has expanded its use of augmented reality (AR) technology to remotely support its production and R&D sites as well as connect with suppliers. Nestlé and its suppliers are using remote assistance tools, including smart glasses, 360-deg cameras, and 3D software, to work on complex projects at its facilities around the world. Nestlé has used these various AR technologies to set up or redesign production lines and carry out vital maintenance with suppliers. For example, R&D teams in Switzerland remotely worked with employees at a Nestlé factory in Thailand to upgrade existing production lines and install new production lines and technologies that make ready-to-drink dairy products. AR tools also helped Nestlé install a production line at a facility in China that makes infant cereals and a pet food line in the U.S. In addition, the company used AR to help with maintenance at its factories in Colombia and Ecuador. Nestlé is transforming its operations by digitalizing its supply chain and manufacturing. The goal is to create a competitive edge through data, artificial intelligence, automation, and predictive analytics, according to the company. The pandemic has also resulted in some sustainability concerns, but TerraCycle has created a zero-waste solution for safety equipment and protective gear. Plants can collect waste, such as masks, disposable garments, gloves, hair nets, and shoe covers, then ship them to TerraCycle. The collected waste is separated into fibers and plastics. The fibers (such as paper or wood-based products) are recycled or composted. The plastics undergo extrusion and pelletization to be molded into new recycled plastic products. As the nation and world pleads for an end to the virus, the food industry continues to meet the challenges of keeping the supply chain intact. Here at PACK EXPO Connects, the technology to keep our industry robust and growing are now just a few computer keystrokes away.

BAKING & SNACK

Navigating a New Landscape Through Change and Inconsistency There’s no shortage of challenges that COVID-19 brings in its wake, but one of the biggest—and for some, the scariest—is its consistent inconsistency. We’ve seen that in nearly every aspect of the virus. And consumer response has followed suit, bringing stark changes in dollar sales for entire product categories as well as drastic shifts in online spending that may otherwise have taken years to accomplish. Before COVID-19, the startups and incubators were shaking up the status quo by launching unique products in the digital space with a relatively low barrier to entry and grass-roots efforts that involved sampling in places like supermarkets, tradeshows, and local events. But in the early days of the pandemic, public gatherings halted and grocery shopping was all about the essentials, so new snacks with a compelling story behind them often fell off consumers’ radar. As stay-at-home orders were issued, foodservice operators closed their doors and people found themselves leery of venturing out even for the necessities, so many turned to online shopping. When people were getting bored eating every meal every day at home, those smaller incubator companies had the power of agility to pivot and change course with their product launches and strategies. That said, consumers were also looking for comfort foods, so standbys like Pepperidge Farm’s Goldfish have done really well, sliced bread experienced a resurgence as the PB&J was restored to its former glory, and pretzels have seen double-digit growth, even in sub-categories that were in decline this time last year. With all the change, bakery and snack plants also kicked into high gear, either cranking out product to restock the barren shelves or diversifying lines to compensate for lost foodservice business. And some have even been thriving in this environment. For example, operators like Nashville-based The Bakery Cos. This bakery has been experiencing a robust 2020 with acquisitions, new hires, and even breaking ground on a brand-new production facili-

ty set to start up before the year’s end. All of these companies share a common denominator: change. Some companies, like Kemper Foods International, have it in their DNA. This New Albany, Ind. -based producer is built on a model of flexibility that creates a wide array of individually wrapped handheld products for a diverse customer base, changing production on a dime when customers came calling for help was like just another day at the office. While staying nimble and diverse in product offerings will be the key to survival, many baking facilities are finding they need to make adjustments in the packaging area, the spot in any bakery operation where social distancing can be the hardest. Add to that the cautious consumers increasingly seeking out individually packaged food and a whole new normal in school foodservice, and we are experiencing the dawn of a new era in bakery and snack packaging. These manufacturers are facing transformation in every aspect of their businesses, and while change may be the only constant, it’s not necessarily consistent. These companies are modifying processing and packaging lines to support social distancing while also building in flexibility to shift on a dime once the next surge in demand or— heaven forbid—shutdown happens. Not long ago, a shrinking workforce was one of the biggest challenges commercial baking and snack producers were facing. Today, fewer people on the plant floor is a necessity for the foreseeable future. Automation is going to play an integral role in how these companies operate moving forward, but it will not likely play out the same as we envisioned even just five years ago. Brands have to meet needs of their customers, consumers, and workers in ways none of us could have imagined. In the end, we have no way to predict what the future will look like, but baking and snack companies have to be ready regardless. It’s not only the strong who will survive but also the agile, decisive, creative and—above all—courageous.

Meeting Challenges During the first quarter of 2020, the themes from 2019 were playing out in what was shaping up to be another year of innovation, growth, and plenty of reason for optimism among stakeholders in the meat and poultry processing industry. Quietly in the background though, a historically devastating threat to human life was spreading and gaining momentum, like a tsunami of biblical proportions. Meanwhile, the meat and poultry processing industry went about business as usual, with a proverbial bullseye developing on production facilities across the globe. Indeed, plant-based food sales, which topped $5 billion in 2019, showed no signs of slowing in 2020 and held the attention of processors of animal-based foods as the new year began, while progress was edging forward between U.S. trade officials and their global trading partners, boding well for the future of US meat and poultry shipments to linchpin countries including Canada, Mexico, China, and Japan. Animal diseases, most notably avian influenza and African swine fever outbreaks in China, were the sources for both opportunity and volatility in the first two months of the year as meat and poultry producers and processors scrambled to fill the void created by widespread shortages of pork and poultry. Elsewhere in the industry, initiatives to bolster sustainability and transparency in early 2020 continued to garner the attention food companies around the globe and the meat and poultry industry planned for another busy year of conferences, workshops and trade shows. One of the year’s biggest annual trade shows, the International Production & Processing Expo in Atlanta, turned out to be one of the first and last global gatherings of the year for the year. By early March, reports of positive cases of COVID-19 among line workers started as a drip and developed into a flood of outbreaks, illnesses, and even deaths among meat and poultry line workers in the months since. Since March, the well-documented shift in demand from foodservice to retail resulting from widespread closures of business of all kinds in an effort to stem spiking infection rates in the U.S., had meat and poultry processors scrambling to adjust to an abrupt demand swivel. Headlines suggesting meat shortages at grocery stores compounded the challenges facing meat and poultry plant operators already

coping with unfounded scrutiny, unrealistic expectations, and misinformation from regulators, politicians, and some media outlets. As many plants have been forced to close to deep clean facilities, implement preventative measures in plants and adopt new testing and screening regimens for workers, the meat and poultry industry is mounting a comeback that is raising the bar for the entire food industry. In the wake of unprecedented challenges, stakeholders in the meat and poultry industry are rewriting the script for the remainder of 2020, featuring a theme of perseverance, a renewed focus on worker safety and health, and an overt appreciation of the entire supply chain it relies on, from frontline plant workers to truck drivers and even meat department workers, grocery store clerks, and foodservice professionals. One of those stakeholders is the leader of one of the world’s largest processors. In late June, Kenneth Sullivan, president and chief executive officer of Smithfield Foods Inc., literally penned the core of his industry’s script for the future. A June 22 letter sent by Democratic Senators Elizabeth Warren and Cory Booker to the top leaders of Smithfield Inc., Tyson Foods Inc., JBS USA, and Cargill salted a growing wound using sweeping generalizations and assumptions about a complex industry with which the lawmakers proved they were unfamiliar. It was an attack on the integrity of the people leading the industry into battle against COVID-19 and one responded in a manner that embodied the passion and fire burning in the belly of inspirational leaders. Smithfield’s Sullivan said the uninformed points spouted in the letter missed the mark regarding the industry’s dynamics and its response to COVID-19. “What would you do if thrust into our position? I suspect you would do as we have done, which is to implement every possible mitigating employee protection you can think of and accept the awesome responsibility of maintaining our food supply,” Sullivan wrote. This sentiment has been the battle cry embraced by many in the industry as the entire world moves through the remainder of 2020 and into 2021. While the challenges of the pandemic have tested the mettle of businesses of all kinds, the meat and poultry industry is proving once again it might be down, but never out.

FOOD BUSINESS NEWS

Returning to ‘Normal’ May Remain Elusive in 2021 The North American food and beverage industry’s outlook in 2021 hinges on what happens during the latter half of 2020. The coronavirus has upended the market, accelerated long simmering trends, and stands to remain the leading change agent next year if it is not eradicated or brought under control. Change began to ripple through the marketplace in March after many states closed or limited how restaurants may conduct business. The limitations led to a dramatic shift in where and how consumers buy food and beverages. Food and beverage manufacturers were still adjusting as summer turned to fall and companies continued to operate under COVID-19 restrictions. In August, Tyson Foods, Inc., Springdale, Ark., said it spent an additional $340 million during the company’s third quarter of fiscal 2020 on employee bonuses, safety equipment, and safety measures. Hormel Foods Corp. estimated such costs will be in the range of $80 million to $100 million during its fiscal year. And the specter of plant closures and supply chain disruptions continue to hang over the entire industry. With that backdrop, manufacturers were adjusting to a new normal where retail had become the dominant sales channel and foodservice operators adjusted. The surge in retail sales prompted retailers nationwide to restock shelves with the SKUs. But even as the market returned to steadier levels of demand, some CPGs company executives said they saw the shift away from slower-moving SKUs continuing. John Murphy, chief financial officer of The Coca-Cola Co., offered a similar sentiment during a May investor presentation, when he said the company has seen a falloff in “small innovations.” Murphy expected the focus of retailers on faster-moving SKUs to last through 2020. Some slower-moving items may make their way onto shelves the following year, but those brands that rely on long tails of incremental innovation may find future retail shelf space limited. The pandemic also has been a boon for consumer trial and adoption of e-commerce. Consumer demand for digital shopping showed up impressively in the quarterly earnings reported in August of Walmart, Inc. and Target Corp. Walmart e-commerce sales shot up 97% during the quarter

as shoppers shifted away from visiting stores to delivery and click-and-collect. Target Corp.’s results were equally remarkable. Digital comparable store sales spiked nearly 200% during the quarter. Amazon.com, Inc., said its quarterly online grocery sales at the end of July had jumped 200% year over year and that demand was still “super high.” Management attributed the growth to Prime members who are shopping more often. While retailers thrived throughout the spring and summer, foodservice operators struggled. The National Restaurant Association, Washington, DC, estimated that between March and June, the industry lost more than $145 billion in sales and may be on track to lose more than $240 billion in sales by the end of the year. Recovery has been slow as restaurant chains and independents adjust to reopening restrictions and cautious consumers. Quick service restaurant chains have recovered more quickly due to most having drive-thru and instore pickup options. Full-service operators have been the hardest hit as social distancing has limited the number of tables available. But companies are adapting. Starbucks Corp., Seattle, said it will increase convenience-led formats in company-operated locations with drive-thru and curbside pickup options, as well as new pickup-only locations. Taco Bell, a business unit of Yum! Brands, Inc., Louisville, Ky., announced plans to introduce a Taco Bell Go Mobile store format at the end of August. The new restaurant concept is designed for customers to order ahead through the brand’s mobile app and caters to a growing customer base that is shifting toward quicker contactless ordering and pickup options, according to the company. Foodservice category struggles have begun to ripple through to food and beverage company operations. In August, Coca-Cola announced a restructuring plan that will streamline the company’s structure and lead to the elimination of 4,000 jobs worldwide. Part of the reason for the restructuring is company’s exposure to the foodservice category. Uncertainty has been a theme throughout most of 2020. It will remain so into 2021 as long as food and beverage companies must continue to adapt to the new reality of COVID-19.

US Pet Food Market Proves to be Resilient In a survey conducted by Pet Food Processing in March and May 2020, 73% of pet food and treat processor respondents said COVID-19 has not adversely impacted their sales. Market research firm Packaged Facts says pet food is notoriously “recession resistant” and predicts pet food sales will prevail through this year. As the largest segment of the pet industry in terms of revenue, pet food is not expected to be hit as hard as other segments. Packaged Facts is now projecting 4% growth from 2019 sales, compared to its previous prediction of 6% growth over the year. U.S. pet owners spent about $37 billion on pet food and treats in 2019. Looking at the different types of product, kibble is still king but other formats are gaining in popularity. In addition to wet pet food and treats increasing in popularity, cat product offerings are gaining in general. Dollar sales for dog food continues to beat cat food sales, but food for felines has grown and is projected to continue growing at a higher rate than dog food. Treats for both cats and dogs offer some of the best growth potential. In the pet food and treat space, the pandemic is accelerating the shift to e-commerce. Last year was marked with brands unapologetically meeting consumers where they shop. That has not only continued in 2020, especially for e-commerce sales, but has accelerated due to the pandemic’s impact on brick-and-mortar retail. Increased e-commerce sales were reported by 58% of Pet Food Processing’s respondents between March and May of this year, while 19% said sales in the mass market have been positively affected as well. As pet owners shift channels, processors are scrambling to provide the right product, in the right packaging, through the right channel. Good-for-the-planet brand claims seem to dominate the sustainability story of pet food, and novel proteins are becoming popular as a sustainable option. Consumers seem willing to feed their pets lab-cultured meats, yeast-derived protein, as well as insect protein. The industry has seen the introduction of a treat line made with cultured koji, an ancient Asian protein, a meatless complete-and-balanced diet for dogs that utilizes yeast protein as a main ingredient, pet treats containing a lab-cultured meat-alternative protein made from mice cells, and both a treat and dog food line that includes crickets as a sustainable source of protein. As more companies begin to manufacture products with these novel ingredients, product testing and development

are particularly critical steps in the process. Other product trends in the pet food space include grain-friendly, solution-based, rotational feeding, whole-animal nutrition and wet pet foods and treats. Many brands have reintroduced or re-stated the importance of grains in pet diets by expanding lines with new grain-friendly recipes. In the solution-based arena, Purina has debuted a veterinary formula to inhibit a major cat allergen. Consumers seem increasingly willing to invest in formulas that promise functional benefits and this diet from Purina to address cat allergies is a first for the industry. Another trend is the same formula across multiple formats. Rotational feeding across multiple formats has gained popularity among pet parents to achieve optimal nutrition and hydration, and several brands are offering the same formula in dry and wet formats and even in treat options. Many brands are homing in on animal-based proteins and the utilization of other animal by-products, such as organs, cartilage, and bone, with some companies including the whole animal, or as much of the whole animal as possible. Wet pet foods and treats were popular in 2019 and have gained momentum and are now showing up in a variety of ways, including lickable treats, mousse textured supplements, frozen treats, bone broths, and novel canned foods. Fresh and frozen pet diets continue to increase as well. Fortunately, this industry steadily delivers growth and innovation and, like anything else, it can change rapidly, which keeps everyone learning new tricks. .

Grain-Based Foods Business Turned on its Head by COVID Traditionally among the more stable segments of the food business and even the entire U.S. economy, grainbased foods have endured wrenching change since March when a national emergency was declared in response to the spread of COVID-19. Some of the poorer performing grain-based foods categories in recent years, including ready-to-eat cereal, sliced bread and family flour, have enjoyed eye-popping growth demand for the last several months in a surge overwhelmingly attributed to the pandemic. Meanwhile, some of the faster-growing areas of the business, particularly those sold to foodservice customers, have suffered. The ready-to-eat breakfast cereal market has been under pressure for years, but in the most recent quarter (ended June 30) Kellogg Co. cereal sales were up by 16%. Sleepy brands that the company had been struggling to invigorate showed standout growth, including Special K, Mini-Wheat and Raisin Bran. The company’s Eggo brand of frozen waffles saw a 26% sales jump while the Kashi business was up 19%. The same pantry stocking that boosted Kellogg business also lifted the North American business of General Mills, Inc., which enjoyed a 36% spike in sales in the third quarter ended May 31. The company did not detail growth of Big G cereals but said it gained 70 basis points of market share over the full year. The star performer in the fourth quarter at General Mills was its U.S. meals and baking unit, which saw a 68% retail sales jump. Drivers of the growth included Pillsbury refrigerated baked foods, Progresso soup, Totino’s hot snacks, Betty Crocker desserts, and Gold Medal flour. In bread, overall sales growth was more modest. Sales of Flowers Foods, Inc. rose 5% in the quarter ended July 11, but sales of branded bread jumped 18%. At the same time store brand sales fell 11%. Meanwhile its “other sales,” which includes sales to foodservice customers, fell 16%.

Sales were up 36% at Bimbo Bakeries North America, a subsidiary of Grupo Bimbo SAB de CV, which is the largest baking company in the world. Adjusted for exchange rate swings, sales were up 12%. “The bread, buns and rolls; breakfast; sweet baked goods; and snacks categories posted market share gains, while the retail and the e-commerce channels outperformed,” Bimbo said. “This was partially offset by weak volumes across the foodservice business, including QSR and schools that are temporarily closed, and lower traffic in channels such as convenience stores due to the COVID-19 outbreak.” The pasta business also has seen dramatic shifts in recent months. Ebro Foods SA, Madrid, Spain, is one of the largest producers of pasta in the United States and has enjoyed considerable growth in recent months. In the company’s mid-year financial results, the company said EBITDA from its US pasta division in the first half of the year equaled the company’s EBITDA total in 2019. Overall, the company enjoyed 50% sales growth across its brands, an expansion in business only possible because Ebro withdrew from a number of private label accounts in 2019. Ebro’s fresh pasta business, which had been growing rapidly in recent years, saw a slowdown in sales during the first half of 2020. As was the case across the packaged foods industry, many grain-based foods companies cited surges in household penetration that was attributed to pantry loading during the COVID-19 pandemic and stay-at-home orders. Finding a way to parlay the large increase in sampling into sustained demand was an oft-cited objective of industry executives. Also an increased priority amid the pandemic has been ways to capitalize on large increases in food purchased through e-commerce. While overall e-commerce food sales remain fairly modest, the dramatic increase in recent month affirmed the need at many companies to participate more fully in this arena.

Packaging Pros Bullish on Security, Salary, Despite Uncertainty Packaging professionals in general seem fairly insulated from much of the economic fallout of COVID-19, though not everyone is weathering the storm equally. By Matt Reynolds, Editor

s is the case for the year 2020 in general, the results of the Annual Institute of Packaging Professionals (IoPP) Salary Survey represent a departure from the norm. Data collection was accomplished on the cusp of when the global pandemic began roll out, from January 23 through April 8 of this year, coloring respondents’ attitudes and opinions on the future. The oft heard descriptors of uncertain, unprecedented, or challenging times may have drifted into the realm of the cliché by now, but uncertainty unavoidably crept into the survey response set. Remarkably, responses remain optimistic without many big shifts from previous years. Coronavirus and job security were frequently mentioned in qualitative responses from all participants (12% and 9% of responses, respectively). However, 71% of domestic respondents still expect to earn a higher salary in 2020, with 91% of those respondents expecting to earn anywhere from 1% to 10% more. Of course, we know this isn’t true of all businesses in the U.S. Shortly after data collection for this report, April unemployment had ballooned to nearly 15% across all industries. Even so, at the time of this writing in June, an unexpectedly positive jobs report indicated that 2.5 million jobs were actually added in May, pushing unemployment down to 13.3% from a w(hopefully) high water mark of 14.7%. This is thought to be largely on the

Methodology and Year-Over-Year Comparisons Information illustrated in this report is derived from a survey conducted by the Institute of Packaging Professionals (IoPP), PMMI, and Packaging World from January 23 to April 7, 2020. Of the 1197 total responses, 201 responses reporting primary business outside of the U.S. were removed from the data set to avoid currency exchange and cultural variables, leaving a base of 996 highly qualified packaging professional respondents. Year-over-year comparisons are made many times throughout this report. However, only a portion of respondents reflected here are the same respondents as last year. As such, though similar, demographics are not identical. Commentary on year-over-year comparisons is intended to be in view of an evolving workforce, rather than a direct 1::1 comparison. PW

The average salary was down slightly in 2019 (as reported in early 2020). Notably, this year’s survey respondents skewed older than in previous years. Those over 65 in age reported a relatively even salary distribution across all salary ranges, instead of the more typically high ranges you’d see in 45-54 and 55-64 cohorts. This influx of older respondents impacted the overall compensation. Overall, qualitative responses reflect optimism despite the year-over-year comparison. backs of healthcare, with elective or non-urgent medical procedures being phased back in, and professions like dentistry opening doors. Regardless, packaging professionals appear quite insulated from other industries’ troubles, and those reporting that they are somewhat or very secure in their jobs actually added a percentage point over last year’s report, from 75% to 76% reflected this year (see page 14). The conclusion? Packaging professionals appear to occupy rarified air in a bear market. Part of this is due to the verticals we serve. Fully a third of responses came from food and beverage manufacturers, with an additional 17% in healthcare/pharma packaging. These are the very definition of essential industries. Still, not everyone fared equally (see page 11). The following pages will tease out trends and sentiments that we hope all packaging professional find valuable, both as a prognosticator and as a benchmark for your own career. PW

2020 SALARY SURVEY Predictors of Salary outside of Job Function What were the top predictors of a salary? After the obvious job function variable, experience, education, and age are the most accurate salary predictors. However, we see some evidence of drift away from this correlation, particularly in the age and experience categories. Unfortunately, gender has long been a salary predictor too, with a significant gap between men and women. Yet the gender variable appears to be slowly becoming less entangled with salary—good news for the industry, diversity, and gender equality, but there’s a long way to go.

Education ■

■

75% of those without undergraduate degrees earn less than $100,000, up from 62% in 2019. The biggest salary jump based on education, a 33% salary difference, was reported between a high school/some undergraduate ($84,500), and an undergraduate degree ($112,280). Ensuing pay percentage gains—from undergraduate to graduate degree (16%) and graduate degree to doctoral degree (8%)—decrease exponentially, so the greatest pay gains by percentage are correlated with an undergraduate degree. The two extreme ends of the education spectrum reported the greatest drops in salary year-over-year. The biggest drop was reported among PhDs, who reported making 16% less in 2020 ($141,820) than in 2019 ($168,800). The second greatest drop in salary was among high school grads/some undergraduate, who fell 12.1% in 2020 ($84,500), compared to 2019 reporting ($96,170).

Gender* ■

■

87% of those with 1-2 years’ experience earn less than $100,000, down from 90% in 2019. 78% of those with 20+ years of experience earn more than $100,000, down from 81% in 2019.

■

The biggest salary jump based on experience, one of 24%, came between the 3- to 5-year range, and the 6- to 10-year range, meaning that the 5-year mark is a good indicator of when an average employee might begin to expect to really see pay scale gains. On the other side of the coin, if we ignore the $100,000 benchmark and look instead at percentages, those with 1-2 years of experience actually saw a saw a 6% reported salary jump (see page 37, Not All Packaging Jobs Fare Equally, under Fresh Faces).

Age ■

■

0%: Not a single respondent aged over 65, nor one under 34, reported earning more than $200,000. These top salaries are concentrated in the 55-64 (15% reported) and in the 45-54 (11% reported) -year-old cohorts, with 7% of the 35-44 age group. The oldest 65+ cohort reported the greatest drop in salary year-over-year, from an average of $138,680 in 2019 to $107,250 in 2020. That’s a 23% drop.

14% of respondents over 65 earn less than $50,000, perhaps an indicator of reduced workloads in advanced careers. In fact, the 65+ age range was the most randomly distributed of all age cohorts. The greatest jump in average salary, of 41% from $82,000 to $116,000, occurred between the 18-34 and 35-44 cohorts. In terms of percentage, the greatest gains come earlier in careers, but after some seasoning.

The reported average salary difference between genders dropped from $18,500 in 2019 to $16,900 in 2020. Women are far more likely to be younger, with 60% being under 45 years in age, compared to 45% of men. Women are still less experienced, with 55% claiming 10 years or less in experience compared to 39% of male respondents.

Women are every bit as educated as men if not more, with

slightly more women claiming advanced degrees (30% to 28%), more women claiming undergraduate degrees or unfinished graduate studies (61% to 56%), and fewer without undergraduate degrees (9% to 14%).

■

Experience

The average salary reported by women ($103,900) still trails that of men ($120,800) by 16%, meaning the gender pay gap persists. However, there are some positive signs that may point to a slowly eroding differential.

The drop in average domestic salary between 2019 and 2020 was felt more by males, who saw a decrease of 3.4%, as opposed to women who saw only a 2.5% decrease. Note: The overall salary decrease of 4.1% from 2019 is non-adjusted and does not account for changes in sample size.

“It’s encouraging that year to year we see progress with companies closing existing wage gaps between men and women. It also shows we still have some ground to travel, but we are hopefully headed the right direction. With this information we also need to have quality conversations next to quantity. Are there enough women in the job pool? Are women in higher level jobs including management and c-suite? Where are opportunities for us to all improve diversity because we know there is strength in diversity?” – Jasmine Sutherland, President, Texas Food Solutions Visit pmmi.org/ppwln to join the Packaging & Processing Women’s Leadership Network to receive information on upcoming events, access professional development resources and learn about ways to get involved. *Note: For a fair salary comparison year-over-year, the sample’s shares of male and female respondents must be consistent. The adjusted average salary accounts for the increase in female respondents in 2020 (+3%, from 26% to 29%), who have generally lower salaries than male respondents, and the corresponding decrease in male respondents (-3%, from 74% to 71%) who have generally higher salaries. Revised for gender share consistency, the overall average domestic salary dropped 3.2% from 2019, as opposed to the unweighted average drop of 4.1% referenced elsewhere in the report. SHOWCASE 2020

2020 SALARY SURVEY Not All Packaging Jobs Fare Equally The overall salaries reported in this survey dipped by 4.1% in 2020 compared to 2019 results, but not all job functions or demographic groups fared the same.

Winners bucking the trend

Supply Chain and Logistics jobs experienced 10% salary growth, the only job duty to increase in salary over the previous year, from an average of $108,750 to $119,420. The balance between channels that constitute the omnichannel—including e-comm, retail, foodservice, and hospital/institutional channels—is fundamentally shifting. The evolution in supply chain and logistics was well underway in 2019, as reporting here suggests, before getting drastically accelerated in early 2020 due to the pandemic. However, the pandemic likely didn’t affect current salaries as reported for this survey, collected in primarily in February and March 2020, as much as it did expectations for the future.

Respondent Age Skews Slightly Older

orporate Management, Engineering, and R&D stayed about even, C losing a respective 0.2%, 0.7%, and 1.1% in salary since 2019. Compared to the overall average, that’s a win. F resh faces are faring well. Unrelated to job duty, respondents with the least experience (1-2 years) report earning 6% more than they reported earning over the same interval last year. The lack of qualified talent, and the need to compete for new talent and retain them over time, may have pushed salaries up for new hires. Note: Experience and age aren’t the same thing. Younger respondents didn’t fare as well (see “youngest age cohort” below). Skilled, middle aged to older career changers likely buoyed this 6% figure.

This group of 106 self-identified Marketing and Sales specialists track almost exactly with the total 996 responses, which fell 4.1%. Sales salary fluctuations are historically a good bellwether for the industry at large.

Production jobs dropped by 28% in salary when comparing 2019 ($121,090) to 2020 ($87,550). It’s important to note that the number of responses reporting “Production” as a job duty more than doubled between 2019 and 2020 from 23 to 49, so the larger sample size may account for the regressing mean. Regardless, the stark drop is noteworthy. Consultants have reported 10% pay reduction between 2019 ($141,900) to 2020 ($127,500). The oldest age cohort, 65+ reported earning 23% less than they did in the last survey, again perhaps reflecting a transition into reduced duty, semi-retirement, etc. However, the increase in the number of older response in 2020 may also contribute the average decrease in salary for this cohort.

“Overall, the health of the packaging industry is strong. Packaging is the last stage of manufacturing before it reaches the consumer. I expect to see higher demands for packaging professionals due to major regulatory changes coming up at end of 2020 and 2023. Salaries, raises, and bonuses will be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Companies had to spend a lot of money-making accommodations to their employees to protect them, which consumed many of the companies’ budget as it was not planned for. These funds will unfortunately come from budgeted salary increases. Employees will be happy just to have a job at this point.” – Aladin Alkhawam, Director

PMMI’s Free Career Toolkit: Promoting Awareness of Packaging and Processing Careers Prior to the pandemic, studies expected there to be a shortage of two million workers over the next decade. Meanwhile, COVID-19 has pushed the unemployment rate, as of April 2020, to nearly 15%, meaning the pool of available talent might be deepening. PMMI’s Career Toolkit provides resources to help companies address the critical shortage of skilled employees and promote awareness of careers in the packaging and processing industry.

SPECIAL ISSUE

Cece’s Veggie Co-Founders Helps Roll Out Regional Brand Accelerators A very patient Mason Arnold, founder of the fast-growing Cece’s Veggie Co. lines of vegetable-based noodle replacements, braved his host Matt Reynolds’ ultra-slow internet speed to tell PW all about the growing Naturally umbrella of emerging brand incubators. Mason Arnold has been an organics pioneer and serial entrepreneur since graduating the University of Texas in 2001. He has founded several companies with sustainability at the core, most recently Cece’s Veggie Co., which a year ago was ranked as Inc. magazine’s 3rd Fastest growing private company in 2019.

Packaging World:

Tell us a little about your background, and how you ended up founding Cece’s Veggie Co.?

Mason Arnold: My prior start-up company was called Greenling, where we did grocery home delivery. We had created a value-added kitchen, so we were processing and selling value-added vegetables that we got from local farms. Often, this local produce isn’t as pretty as some in retail, and so processing them leveled the playing field, and we would sell them chopped or diced. Over that time, I saw a lot of brands come and go, and got pretty good at guessing which ones were going to do well, and which ones weren’t. And then—in what turned out to be a really influential event in leading me to found Cece’s— my family and I had to go gluten-free due to allergies. So, I was looking for the best glutenfree pasta out there, as well as trying to get more vegetables into my kids’ diets, and I felt like that vegetable noodles might be a plausible business model. I researched all the way down to the microbiology of what happens when slicers and blades cut vegetables. With that research, I actually invented the machine that we still use to this day to make pasta out of fresh vegetables. With that machine, I knew I could make a good noodle, and so then the very next question to me was, “what does the packaging need to look like?” I identified where in the store I wanted it to go, and then from there, I decided on what I felt like the best packaging would be. And

SHOWCASE 2020

20_FIrstPerson.indd 34

got some help from a local agency, Shelf Studio, Austin, Texas, to design the perfect package and brand, in order to sell these vegetable noodles.

Are there any specific packaging challenges with vegetable noodles? When you cut a vegetable into a very small cross section, there’s a whole lot of surface area for degradation of that product. And because we sell it fresh, and there’s no kill step [pasteurization or HPP, for example] involved, shelf-life and pathogens are the two biggest considerations. All of that did have to go into it our business model, and how we do that is kind of our black box, our trade secret.

What was the genesis of Naturally Austin? I’ve been a mentor for SKU, a consumer products accelerator program in town, and seeing the community come together around that was inspiring. But even though there was this great accelerator program where entrepreneurs got to meet all of these mentors and suppliers, SKU is mostly focused on the companies who enter their program. I wanted to help create something that extended beyond that, to anyone who wants to be involved in the CPG community. I think it’s really important to have community within industry. Actually, I’m also a mentor at Capital Factory, which is a technology accelerator for all things tech. It’s kind of the central hub for technology start-ups and entrepreneurship in town. And I had watched that grow— the founder of that, Josh Baer was on the board of my last company—and I wanted to create something like that for the CPG community.

2020 EMERGING SALARY BRANDS SURVEY

Rather than the SKU accelerator, which is very focused on growing businesses—and most of them are already revenue and such—I felt like we should create a place where people can just get together, and talk about their ideas, and meet other people doing it. So, I combined the best parts I saw of the two. I saw how much more robust the Capital Factory community was around tech, because they had a lot more resources. In SKU, you kind of had to be in the program to get access to the resources. And as I started to talk to other people in the CPG community, there were multiple people that really wanted the same thing, so we all got together, and we started to ask, ‘how do we build community around CPGs in Austin?’ As we were evaluating the idea, one of the people that we were meeting with knew of Naturally Boulder and said that they were really interested in helping. So, we ended up partnering with them, because they already had resources like documents, structure, and all kinds of things that we could lean on. And so that’s when we decided to form Naturally Austin.

How does it operate, and what does the structure look like? There are multiple phases to it that we sought out from the outset. The first phase was just building community. So, there are membership options for it, and the least expensive one is $65 a year. But really, lots of events are open to the general community. We just wanted to be a resource, and for people to know that they could come to Naturally Austin to talk about ideas, and learn about the CPG industry, and do education. For instance, we get some of the really high-profile CPG brands and personalities in town to talk about different areas that new entrepreneurs will come across. We have educational sessions, networking, and community gatherings in general. And then, as the organization grows, we want to add services, and we want to find a location that we can call the Naturally Austin’s own location to host all these events and such, so we’ve got a lot of big plans. But the first step will be as a non-profit that just wants to help educate people and gather people around CPG entrepreneurship.

Mature brands and brand owners know packaging matters from the beginning. But often, new business owners or entrepreneurs don’t recognize this off the bat. How does Naturally deal with that common dynamic? I personally view packaging as absolutely critical to a CPG brand, and I think it’s one of the things that needs to be focused on and worked out

extremely early. From the Naturally Austin perspective, we communicate that same perspective—that packaging is something that needs to be wellthought-out from the very beginning, and Naturally Austin can provide resources to do that. Because there are a lot of resources out there these days for that kind of effort, and just helping people know that they need to think about it up front, and not wait until they’re at scale.

Do you partner with packaging machinery builders or other packaging suppliers to help members figure out where to start? Yes, we can. And we do have members who are packaging companies, and we have lot of sponsorship opportunities as well for packaging companies wanting to be able to get themselves in front of the Naturally Austin community. Some entrepreneurs invent a product and build a brand with the intent to sell it and move onto the next idea. Others are in for the long haul. We strive for our education sessions to provide information for both of those perspectives, and for Naturally Austin, we don’t necessarily want to lead anyone down either one of those in particular. Both are great paths, and we provide the resources for either path.

Has growing Naturally Austin benefitted your business, Cece’s Veggies, as well? I would definitely say that we’ve benefited in just having the community aspect that I’ve run across, and resources that I may need at the moment—whether it’s additional packaging resources, or transportation resources, or technology and other resources of people that are in the Naturally Austin community. And then, as I need something, I know that I’ve got this community that I can pose a question to and get lots of responses back. No matter what I need in the business, having that community to lean on has been a really great aspect of it.

What’s next for the Naturally network? Naturally started in Boulder, but it’s now joined by a network in San Diego, San Francisco, Chicago, and Austin. Now, the Naturally network is coming together and creating a more national Naturally network. No matter where a brand is, there may be a Naturally member of the network nearby, so they should look and see that. —Matt Reynolds Visit pwgo.to/5716 to learn more about Naturally Austin and the Naturally network.

www.beckhoff.us/packaging Empowering new breakthroughs in packaging machine design, Beckhoff Automation will showcase innovative mechatronics and PC-based automation technologies during Pack Expo Connects. Flying motion with XPlanar, a stainless steel version of the eXtended Transport System (XTS) and other hardware, software and networking innovations will be on display in virtual booth #213 or www.pe.show/213. Beckhoff USA Product Managers will host multiple educational sessions to discuss core packaging technology topics during the week-long digital event from November 9 - 13, 2020. Elevate packaging machine concepts with XPlanar The eXtended Planar Motor system, XPlanar, will demonstrate flying motion during its debut trade show appearance in North America. The system uses planar motor tiles as a base to levitate passive movers at speeds of 4 m/s and acceleration up to 20 m/s². Path planning and collision avoidance software produce extremely efficient and maintenancefree motion control for complex packaging, inspection and material handling applications. Anti-sloshing functionality based in TwinCAT 3 software optimizes XPlanar’s transport capabilities in applications involving liquids, such as filling of beverages, cosmetics and other goods. Wear-free movement and the ability to cover planar motor tiles with stainless steel, glass or another surface ensure XPlanar is a sanitary solution ideal for rigorous cleaning requirements. With these capabilities, the innovative system enables ultimate flexibility and allows machines to achieve lot size 1 production. Next-step linear transport: XTS Hygienic and Track Management XTS, the paradigm-shifting linear transport technology from Beckhoff, returns to Pack Expo with new hardware and software expansions. XTS Hygienic, a stainless steel, IP69K version, is ideal for wash-down production environments in packaging, pharma, food and beverage. In addition, new Track Management functionality allows individual movers to transfer between multiple XTS systems, enabling further customization, quality inspection, automatic defect ejection and more. These features, along with the system’s high speeds, dynamics, small footprint, instant recipe changeovers and real-time integration with robotics, further revolutionize the possibilities in packaging.

www.domino-printing.com At Domino we do more. You might see us supporting manufacturers in their move to sustainable packaging and leading the charge on coding automation. That’s because we are out to do more than just provide industrial printing technology. Our goal is to be the leading global industrial printing brand through applying our industrial printing expertise and reliable solutions to help the world’s manufacturers be sustainable and cut waste, while attracting, informing, and protecting their consumers. For manufacturers, rising consumer demand for variety has led to SKU proliferation, which results in fewer long, dedicated runs of one product and more frequent line changeovers. Automation can help reduce the time needed for line changeovers overall, and it can help reduce the potential for errors when entering new coding data. Coding and marking, which typically take place at several points along the manufacturing line, might seem like a relatively minor part of the whole process of turning ingredients into finished products. But when errors are introduced, the impact can be detrimental. Consider that the average human makes one mistake for every 300 characters entered! We know that as an organization you are tasked to reduce downtime. Domino brings expertise and simplicity in this area. Since 1978, Domino has been honing our experience in the packaging industry, and making unparalleled investment in R&D as a direct result from customer feedback. Our solutions reflect providing reliable, accurate remedies to your biggest coding challenges today (and t Today, Domino offers one of the most comprehensive portfolios of complete end to end coding solutions spanning primary, secondary and tertiary applications designed to satisfy the compliance and productivity requirements of manufacturers. These include innovative inkjet, laser, print & apply and thermal transfer overprinting technologies that are deployed for the application of variable and authentication data, bar codes and unique traceability codes onto product and packaging, across many sectors, including food, beverage, pharmaceutical and industrial. We’ve been a part of the global industrial printing story for a long time, and our solutions help ensure the success of the world’s leading brands. Our ‘Domino.
