Lean and Customer Focused

Frank sees three trends in pouches he thinks are likely to continue. One is that of fewer pouches being imported, which he believes has to do with food safety, quality and certifications. Second is the mix of equipment being installed at brand owners' and converters' operations that can both make the pouch and fill it. He also expects the preformed side to grow, both as preformed and printed pouches with zippers that are ready to fill, and as the roll stock Admiral sells to customers who make and fill the pouches on their own machinery.
