CMM Selects McFarland as Converter of the Year

One of the industry’s most prestigious honors, the Converter of the Year award is presented biennially to a converter, supplier, educator, or consultant who has significantly advanced converting technology, business practices, industry education, or standards development.

In the summer of 2007, Ampac Flexibles acquired Mohawk Northern Plastics, an Auburn, Washington-based flexible packaging converter specializing in co-extruded films, full-service prepress, high-quality printing, and bag-making. The facility, based just outside of Seattle, targets the frozen foods and fresh produce packaging industry. As part of the acquisition, McFarland remained as President of the Seattle-area operation, becoming President of Ampac Flexibles’ Performance Printed Films business unit.
