Impaxx reorganization integrates multiple packaging services
Impaxx Inc. (Schaumburg, IL) has organized its 11 packaging companies into four dedicated extended business groups: Impaxx Machine Systems, Eastern Packaging Group, Western Packaging Group and a Pharmaceutical Group that will increase its packaging services to the pharmaceutical industry.
The restructuring, according to Impaxx president and CEO Rick Majewski, is part of the company's plan to provide integrated packaging services to its customers through one contact point. "With this new organization, we will be better able to leverage our strengths across markets and geography," said Majewski.
Impaxx Machine Systems is headquartered in Fullerton, CA, and is under the direction of Arno Proctor, president. This new expanded business group unites Trine Labelling Systems , Label-Aire and CMS Machine Systems into a focused company that will offer packagers a single source for a full range of label application equipment choices.
The Eastern Packaging Group will focus on strategic packaging market segments under the direction of newly appointed president Steve Criscuolo. The group will be headquartered in South Plainfield, NJ. This organization will include Innovative Folding Carton Co. and Gilbreth, which makes full-body and promotional shrink-sleeve labels and tamper-evident bands. This business group will cover the eastern portion of the United States for Impaxx.
Lars Ho-Tseung will be president of the new Western Packaging Group, which will provide integrated packaging services to Impaxx customers in the western portion of the United States. Headquartered in Fremont, CA, the group is comprised of four Impaxx companies: Label Express, A.C. Label, Pac-West Label and Graphics, and I.L. Walker.
The Pharmaceutical Group will specialize on the ethical pharmaceutical market and operate under the established brand of Arlington Press Inc., a supplier of pharmaceutical inserts, outserts and labels to pharmaceutical manufacturers. Arlington Press, which is headquartered in Brooklyn, NY, and operates manufacturing plants in New York and Raleigh, NC, has been a wholly owned business unit of Impaxx since 1999. Robin Henfling has been named president of the new organization.
"The new structure will allow us to serve our customers more efficiently," said Pat Serpico, Impaxx vice president of sales and marketing. "The sales organizations and production resources of these new groups will make it even easier for customers to buy multiple packaging services through a single representative."
