Their three-year terms will run from Jan. 1, 2016, through Dec. 31, 2019.
“Our latest additions to PMMI’s board of directors met strict criteria to govern, as they will lead our initiatives to connect the global makers of goods with their processing and packaging suppliers,” said Rick Fox Jr., immediate past chairman of the PMMI. Mr. Fox also chairs the Nominating Committee.
Paul Irvine, c.e.o. of Plexpack Corp., will serve as chairman; Mark Anderson, president and c.e.o. of Pro Mach, Inc., will be the vice-chairman and Bill Crist, c.e.o., Kliklok-Woodman will become immediate past chairman.
