Market Value & Logistics in Converting

The Flexible Packaging Converting World is a demanding and unforgiving one. The speed of expected deliveries has increased exponentially due to technology, capacity and competition. Adjusting Supply Chains to accommodate this new reality has become apparent via significant high-profile Mergers and Acquisitions.

Prediction: Big always eats Small (Peaky Blinders / Thomas Shelby).

Corporate Capitalization and Infrastructure - are truly the elephants in the room now. It's reality in the Flexible Packaging World. The Flexible Packaging giants are getting stronger by Acquisition and large Monopolistic Mergers. Small to medium sized players have only one hand to play ... Focus on Converter/Buyer Priorities ... that will enable them to survive in the same Shark Tank. Their Regional Bank Creditors cannot stand up to Wall Street Financing and that simply ends the discussion.

Time, Logistics, Back Office Support and Pricing ... have all come to the forefront simultaneously - because these are the keys to keeping Film Converters humming in the midst of their daily chaos. We're talking about feeding hundreds of millions of people here under USDA and FDA guidelines ... not Somalia or Venezuela. These American Film Converters are the heroes behind your stocked Grocery Store shelves and freezers. This is a fact that carries heavy responsibility and after affects. There's a moral and social responsibility attached as well ... It's not just about Wall Street or Private Equity Quarterly Financial Models.

Endnote:

Big always eats small ... Yet, in our ever-evolving Capitalistic country, Small and Medium sized Food Packaging Film Suppliers are meeting and competing with the MARKET & LOGISTICAL DEMANDS of large CPG producers. Artificial Intelligence cannot simply replace personal trust or time stamped history. Proven track records carry weight. It's an integral part and the secret behind consistent operating efficiencies on the Plastic Film Converting floor.
