Esko Donates Packaging Technology to RIT

The Esko toolkit was delivered in December 2011 and installed in January 2012. Because many of the classes that were planning to use the toolkit were not offered in the spring semester, the software and Kongsberg table were implemented into the fall curriculum. "We were also trying to make sure we were using the technology to its fullest,” stated Tom Kausch about the delay. Kausch manages the Packaging Dynamics and Materials Laboratories at RIT and is a lecturer for the college's Packaging Science program. Plans are in the works for a full-fledged Esko technology lab, spotlighting the company’s contribution not only to the school but to the packaging industry as well.
