Eyes on the packaging marketDerek Thomas, marketing director at Emerson, describes the most significant trends, challenges and opportunities driving demand as follows: “We’re seeing continued investment in automation to improve productivity. As manufacturers seek to differentiate their packaging, machine builders also look to improve productivity and differentiate their machines. Greater competition and scarcer resources are putting increasing pressure on the market to improve the performance of their operations.”

We are evolving and aligning our capabilities to more fully serve our customers.”
