U.S. Packaging Machinery Exports Reflect Upward Momentum

According to PMMI’s 12th Annual Shipments and Outlook Study, released in September 2006, growth in U.S. packaging machinery shipments can be attributed to end-users expanding production lines to accommodating new product introductions and package designs. In effect, end-users continued to replace older packaging machines with new models featuring state-of-the-art technology and promising rapid return on investment.
