WELCOME LETTER SEPTEMBER 2021 | SPECIAL ISSUE

IT HAS BEEN TOO LONG, LET’S CATCH UP

I

t has been an eventful and often scary two years since we were last together in person for 2019’s PACK EXPO Las Vegas, with the 18 months since March 2020’s PACK EXPO East having been especially topsy turvy.

We’ve all been through it in our own individual ways, so we’ll spare you the cliché-filled recap. But we do want to share a cautious but certain sense of relief, even though it seems we sometimes take two steps forward and one step back on our way out of this pandemic. It will be a relief and a pleasure to see you in person once again at PACK EXPO Las Vegas 2021 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, which it bears mentioning is among the first convention centers in the nation to gain accreditation as a Global Biorisk Advisory Council (GBAC) Star Facility.

But we haven’t been sitting idly by binging Netflix, learning to bake, adopting pets, and waiting for our next chance to get together in person. Last year, during the height of the pandemic and resulting lockdowns, PMMI Media Group launched PACK EXPO Connects, a first-of-its-kind digital packaging event that connected the packaging industry during a physically fragmented period. And this year, as we carefully but confidently return to the tradeshow floor in this first major packaging event to be back in-person, PMMI has a few more new tricks up its sleeve.

The pandemic highlighted just how essential packaging is and has been over the years—really since the industrial revolution. Through the recent COVID-19 lens, we saw an accelerated pace of change and a total recalibration of channels required to get products to people safely, hygienically, and intact. And we saw packaging suppliers and their CPG, food, and beverage customers meet the extraordinary challenges of the day.

In the spirit of the foundational necessity of packaging, that PMMI presents PACK to the Future, a curated, historical look at packaging over the years. Punctuated with prototypical early machines and material artifacts, the exhibit winds its way through packaging’s changing character over time, and ultimately shifts to look forward to what’s next at the PACK to the Future Stage. After a waltz down memory lane, we’ll gaze into the future, too.

The Processing Zone, which is back due to popular demand at PACK EXPO Las Vegas, is getting a major upgrade in educational firepower in the form of the Processing Innovation Stage, which will focus on the latest advancements specific to processing. No registration is required; stop by whenever you can to take a break and learn something new.

Despite best efforts and intentions, these past few months have demonstrated that not everyone will be able to travel to Las Vegas to join us. Travel isn’t fully back to its robust former self yet, even if we are. We took a lot of what was learned from PACK EXPO Connects to offer a digital platform that’s accessible anywhere, PACK EXPO Xpress, as Plan B. For only $30, you’ll have access to a My Show Planner account, which is a personalized resource planning tool and directory, to start making the packaging supplier connections you need even if you’re not at the show. And if it turns out you can travel after all, just upgrade to in-person attendance.

We’ll be expecting you.

The above doesn’t even begin to mention the tried-and-true favorite events and tracks that will be back in Las Vegas next year, but that’s what the ensuing pages are for. You can expect the Innovation Stages to be forward-looking and productive, the Forums to be lively and collaborative, and the Amazing Packaging Race to be inspirational. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Check out the Quick Facts on page 6 for a snapshot of everything that’ll be happening or read about them in detail in the pages that follow. And, please be sure to check out the many exhibitors advertising in this special issue in the profile section beginning on page 48.

Above all, welcome back to PACK EXPO Las Vegas. As the kids say, it’s been a minute. PW

PPWLN’s New World of Work

E

veryone has had to work differently over the past year, with some of those adjustments driving long-term transformations in the way we work. Things like increased digitalization and automation on the plant floor, the push for diversity and gender parity, and how to attract the next generation workforce—together are creating the new world of work.

The Packaging & Processing Women’s Leadership Network (PPWLN) breakfast at PACK EXPO Las Vegas and Healthcare Packaging EXPO (Tuesday, Sept. 28) will bring together a panel of experts to discuss different perspectives on how to thrive in this fast changing world. First, PPWLN welcomes Tracey Noonan, co-founder and CEO of Wicked Good Cupcakes, as its keynote speaker.

Noonan and her daughter turned a small home-based baking business into a multimillion-dollar corporation through creativity, perseverance, and an investment from Shark Tank’s Kevin O’Leary. Her business having been recently acquired by Hickory Farms, Noonan will reflect

on her experience of scaling an e-commerce business and managing a growing workforce, and share her insights into how the food and beverage industry is evolving.

Following her keynote, Noonan will join Yolanda Malone, vice president of global RD Foods at PepsiCo, and AJ Jorgenson, vice president of strategic engagement at The Manufacturing Institute, for a candid conversation about the new world of work, what it means to the future of manufacturing, and what we can do to make a difference. Visit pwgo.to/7244 to RSVP for the event. Note: To attend, you must be registered for PACK EXPO Las Vegas. Register at www.packexpolasvegas.com. PW

Digital Option for Those Who Can’t Travel

F

or the first time in its history, show-producer PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies, is offering a virtual component to PACK EXPO Las Vegas and Healthcare Packaging EXPO (Sept. 27-29, Las Vegas Convention Center).

PACK EXPO Xpress will allow those unable to travel to access products and innovations in digital showrooms and connect with solutions suppliers during the event while also serving as a supplement to the on-site experience for the person attending or their co-workers back at the office. Registration provides access to a My Show Planner account, PACK EXPO Las Vegas and Healthcare Packaging EXPO’s personalized resource planning tool and directory.

“The goal of PACK EXPO Xpress is two-fold, offering access to the show experience to larger portions of the packaging and processing community, some who can better serve their customers remaining back on the plant floor,” says Laura Thompson, vice president, trade shows, PMMI. “At the same time, it allows in-person attendees not to have to choose, for example, one education session over another, helping alleviate the stress of trying to see everything PACK EXPO Las Vegas and Healthcare Packaging EXPO has to offer.” PW

VERTICAL PERSPECTIVES BROUGHT TO YOU BY:

S

ince packaging serves so many disparate markets, we tend to think of ourselves as a horizontal industry. We cover a whole lot of CPG, food, beverage, and pharmaceutical real estate, but we tend to focus on a comparatively narrow band of operations in the supply chain that centers around the packaging step. That’s why it’s always interesting to piece together our now-annual Vertical Perspectives section, which appears in every PACK EXPO Showcase issue. My colleague Joyce Fassl, editor of Packaging World’s sister publication ProFood World, joins our six editorial counterparts at Sosland, a publisher of food industry publications, in diving into their respective markets from points of view that packaging-focused CPGs might not consider.

While each vertical market has its own unique set of challenges and opportunities, there are a few common takeaways. The biggest shared theme is that while demand prospects for food and beverage are strong and getting stronger, and producers are seeking new equipment to support this growth, the biggest obstacles remain on the input side of the equation. Consumers are returning to foodservice destinations, eating snacks and comfort food, and feeding their pets (at remarkable rates, in fact). But workforce shortages, ongoing supply chain disruption for both equipment and ingredients, and that dirty word inflation are common hurdles across these industries.

The workforce and supply chain wrinkles are interconnected since even if a processing facility might be able to effectively replace human labor with automation, where is that automation coming from? How quickly will it get there?

Will you be able to get change parts? Some of these questions can be asked of material inputs and ingredients, too.

Assuming you can procure and install that automation, are you ready for all that data? How quickly will you be able to leverage it for continuous improvement?

And, of course, data usage only invites the specter of cyber breaches, which many food producers have experienced of late, as Joel Crews mentions in his piece.

Also, for obvious shelf-life and cold-chain related reasons, the food and beverage industry has lagged behind other CPGs in e-commerce, but could pet food be a breakthrough market in the space? Can other processors learn e-comm tips from this outlier that got such a boost during the pandemic?

Meanwhile, reports of sustainability’s demise—at the hands of the pandemic and at the altar of hygiene—have been greatly exaggerated. In fact, today’s consumer may be even more attuned to global health matters, as Charlotte Atchley suggests on page 19 and the big brand owners are taking notice with aggressive sustainability goals for their entire operations.

All these issues are interconnected; none of them exist in a vacuum. How to navigate between them is the real question. I’ll leave it to the following seven experts to better explain, and hope you enjoy theses columns as much as I have.

Unprecedented Challenges Call for Prescient Thinking

W

hat I started to think about writing about a column to encompass all of the food and beverage industry’s most pressing challenges and put them in context with the upcoming PACK EXPO Las Vegas show, I envisioned more than 15 different converging dilemmas.

My thoughts included the following questions: • What’s in the offing for automation, controls and software?

• When will inflation slow down?

• How long will supply chain disruptions continue?

• How will e-commerce and omni-channel shopping affect future manufacturing and supply chain demands?

• How will ongoing labor market woes be resolved?

• And finally, what types of unprecedented manufacturing planning tools will be needed in a post-pandemic environment?

While virtual factory acceptance testing became the norm for many capital expenditure projects during the pandemic, some projects still require in-person equipment inspections. With overseas travel still prohibited in many parts of the world, the time it takes to get a project from inception to completion is longer than ever. Plus, cyberattacks remain a constant threat to CPGs and OEMs alike.

The solutions to these challenges can only begin when we determine how to use change management techniques to solve problems and how to upscale existing staff skills to meet higher-level job requirements. Building excellent, sustainable company cultures are essential to gain employee trust and loyalty, as well as tap into unused ingenuity. Employees need to feel they are respected, valued, and that their work is making a difference.

While the pandemic has caused a lot of challenges and shifting priorities for the food and beverage industry, one front burner matter is constant, and that’s food safety.

As the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ushers in its New Era of Food Safety, some of its main intents are to increase digitalization of traceability and modernize and create food safety cultures within each processing plant.

Food safety leaders are committed to producing the highest quality and safest foods, while training and empowering their staffs to do the same. This is certainly not a new approach. The difference is now processors will be rated on how well they create a food safety cul-

ture. But here lies the rub. A qualified and experienced workforce remains elusive.

One bit of good news is that the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) has become The Consumer Goods Forum’s (CGF) Coalition of Action on Food Safety. The coalition’s goal is to operate with more agility and increased transparency. It will be led by CGF board members Dirk Van de Put, chairman and CEO of Mondelēz International, and Danny Wegman, chairman of Wegmans Food Markets.

The coalition’s aim is to address food safety systems in supply chains, help raise the bar on food safety globally, strengthen and harmonize food safety systems to feed a growing global population, and develop markets that can deliver food safely worldwide.

In my recent conversations about new plant technology with industry suppliers and food manufacturing leaders, phrases like “the best partnerships ever” and “we couldn’t have done it without our partners” keep popping up. The importance of partnership and teamwork has accelerated over the past decade and also shown its necessity to overcome the food industry’s challenges. During the pandemic, processors leaned on their partners more than ever and overcame challenges together. What was learned and implemented during tough times will only strengthen the industry’s response to the next challenge.

Today, savvy processors are creating contingency plans for the next great business debacle. Supply chain disruptions will surely go on as the pandemic lingers.

Inflation is no longer knocking at the front door but is now sitting in our midst.

Automation, software, and robotics are proven entities that continue to take the food industry to the next level of technology, but along with that comes tons of data. The questions become: how do we deal with all the data, determine which data is truly meaningful, and then decide how and when efficiency actions should be implemented.

There are resources to help food and beverage processors meet the pressing challenges of this demanding era. I don’t have all the answers, but a good place to start is at PACK EXPO Las Vegas this September.

The last 18 months cannot be compared to any challenges the food and beverage industry has faced in the past, but it must use the right resources, latest technologies, and the brightest minds to overcome them.

Innovation at the Eye of the Storm

T

he shifts seen in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic continue to ripple across the wholesale baking and snack industries. Many of the early challenges—protecting employees and foodservice slumps—have evened out as vaccines have become available, making it safer to work side-by-side and dine out again. But ripples remain.

The bright side has been that consumer purchasing of bakery products and snacks have remained enthusiastic. Bakers continue to stay optimistic about their ability to hold onto buyers who rediscovered packaged baked goods during the pandemic. According to IRI data for the 52 weeks ending March 28, 2021, commercial aisle bakery dollar sales reached $65 billion, an 8% increase in dollar sales compared to the previous year. And current numbers from IRI show that consumers still have an appetite for snacks, even when compared against the largest gains of 2020. The total salty snack category saw an 8.2% increase in dollar sales in the 52 weeks ending May 16, 2021 compared to a year ago. Put that increase against the 1.9% rise in unit sales and 2.6% hike in volume sales, and that reveals a robust industry poised to take advantage of consumer interest.

This strong demand has bakers and snack manufacturers expanding production at a rapid pace. White Castle, Pretzels Inc., Grupo Bimbo, PepsiCo, General Mills, and Gruma have all announced plans to invest in existing production facilities or new ones in North America and around the world.

None of this is surprising considering the Baking & Snack/BEMA U.S. Commercial Baking Industry Capital Spending Survey published in the February 2021 issue of Baking & Snack. In that report, 52% of baker respondents indicated they would be increasing their capital investments in 2021 compared to 2020. Much of these investments were to maintain existing production lines and equipment, upgrade those lines, or add new equipment. And this data mirrored the boom in demand for bakery and snack products as 68% of baker respondents cited that their main goal was to increase capacity for existing products.

Despite this sunny outlook, the pandemic ripples still loom. One of the biggest waves to crest from the pandemic that still threatens the industry is the supply chain challenges everyone in manufacturing faces.

Input costs for products have remained elevated as

is the case with raw materials for the equipment bakers and snack manufacturers are so keen on purchasing right now. This has caused delays in investments these companies are anxious to make.

The current of workforce challenges shifted in 2020 to a focus on keeping employees safe from the coronavirus. In 2021, however, the previous challenges of finding and retaining workers have only become more urgent. The pandemic created an ultra-competitive market with potential employees having their pick of jobs, benefits, and wages.

In this storm of increased demand, production expansion and supply chain challenges, innovation is brewing. Baking and snack companies are creating new products to retain those new buyers and dollars accrued during the pandemic. They are also looking to serve the new needs of e-commerce as well as foodservice customers that had to adapt to survive during the pandemic. That means not only new products but also new packaging to preserve quality in an environment where restaurant-quality food must be delivered in a timely manner and at dine-in quality standards.

Baking and snack companies are looking for automation to reduce their reliance on an unskilled workforce. This is especially true in the packaging department, the only area in a bakery where things get crowded. Bakers are redefining how they calculate return on investment, taking into account labor savings, and investing in projects that in the past might have been too costly to justify. Acceptance of robotics as a viable option accelerated during the pandemic and only continues in its aftermath.

And sustainability, which was on the backburner last year, has begun taking its place again, maybe even more prominently than before 2020. Much of the investments made by Flowers Foods, Bimbo Bakeries USA, PepsiCo, and Mondelēz International in the past year improved these companies’ carbon footprint and energy savings. Consumers indicate a more nuanced view of the need for plastics and packaging for food safety and quality but insist on more recyclable materials. This issue is quickly moving from a bonus feature to a must-have response for food companies when it comes to ingredient sourcing, production, and packaging. As the need for more sustainable packaging grows, so will the opportunity for innovative solutions for packaging that is not only effective at protecting the product but also the bottom line.

Dairy Industry Quick to Pivot With Ever-changing Consumer Trends

W

ith rising demand from the retail sector and disruptions in foodservice, dairy processors were far from immune to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The dairy industry as a whole had to rethink its strategy to meet consumers where they are. Amid the chaos, many companies found success in innovative new products.

The U.S. dairy industry continues to play a vital role in the United States, supporting 3.3 million total jobs and $41.6 billion in direct wages, according to the latest economic impact report from the International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA), which represents the nation’s dairy manufacturing and marketing industry.

IDFA’s 2021 Economic Impact Study, which measures the combined impact of the dairy products industry, showed the U.S. dairy industry’s economic impact totaled $752.93 billion.

Snacking emerged as one of the biggest trends over the past year. To meet those ever-expanding cravings, dairy processors developed a range of snack products packaged in a way that also aligns with the demands and interests of today’s consumers.

Consumers have a lot of expectations when it comes to snacking. Taste, variety, convenience, nutrition, portability, and sustainability are often concurrent factors driving innovations in snacks and snack packaging.

The ongoing global health crisis has also impacted snack choice. As consumers shifted to remote work and learning, the propensity to snack has never been stronger.

According to a new report from The Hartman Group, 48% of all food and beverage occasions are now snacking occasions. Mordor Intelligence projects that the global dairy snack market will grow at a combined annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.49% through 2025.

A variety of dairy and alternative dairy products fit the bill for this kind of all-day eating across demographics. The milk, cheese, yogurt, and ice cream categories encompass an array of snacks that can be purchased for single-serve and smaller portions as well as larger and family-sized portions.

Within dairy snacks, some segments have fared particularly well. Snacks with health claims have garnered attention. In its recent research on the dairy snack market, Mordor Intelligence reported that demand for healthy and convenient snack options largely fueled sales of dairy snack products.

Consumers’ changing snacking habits also are affecting packaging. Convenience, a significant driver of packaging innovation for the past couple of decades, contin-

ues to be a hallmark of package design for dairy snacks.

Those who provide dairy processors with packaging materials and equipment have likewise updated and expanded their solutions to reflect today’s marketplace drivers.

The stay-at-home orders spurred a cooking renaissance and an interest in food as entertainment, giving dairy snacks a chance to shine. The popularity of charcuterie boards has led to new packaged charcuterie products, cubed cheese, and even customized multi-compartment trays.

A strong demand for snacks like cheese crisps and cheese curds helped processors make diversified products while keeping up with the need for safety. Opening features for packages include peelable and resealable film and “zig-zag” knife cutting for flexible film that allow for easy consumer access.

Dairy processors are also working toward greater sustainability with various packaging changes for snack foods and beverages. Many dairy processors are investing in sustainable packaging materials and methods to meet burgeoning consumer demand as part of their own corporate responsibility practices. Suppliers are adding more sustainable offerings to their portfolios of packaging materials, including packaging made with layers of plant-based polymers and renewable material.

Finally, customization and connectivity are propelling packaging solutions for dairy snacks.

An already tight labor situation was exacerbated by labor shortages tied to the COVID-19 pandemic. Solutions that keep things flowing in a plant, especially given recent circumstances, are crucial. As the industry becomes more consolidated with larger players, greater automation makes sense from many perspectives.

Amid these challenges and changes, better technologies help curb problems that slow or stop production.

The advent of Industry 4.0, with the use of digitally networked machines, artificial intelligence, augmented reality, blockchain, the Internet of Things, and robotics that represent the fourth industrial revolution, offers an opportunity to create more efficient, time-saving operations in dairy plants.

Those technologies include improvements to existing machinery and updating previous systems with new automated equipment, all adding up to improved efficiencies that translate to a better bottom line.

As the world continues to move back toward some semblance of normal, uncertainty will still remain a challenge as the industry navigates the remainder of 2021.

However, dairy processors have proven time and again resiliency in even the most uncertain of times.

Food Manufacturers Seek Clarity on Rising Costs, Shifting Trends

A

s the North American food and beverage market makes the transition from pandemic-related lockdowns to a return to normalcy, one key question hangs over the industry—What’s next?

An initial dynamic food and beverage management teams are navigating is rising input costs. Many parts of the world, particularly more developed regions, are emerging from the pandemic as vaccine availability becomes ubiquitous. Increased consumer mobility means the industry is seeing a rapid shift in where people buy and consume food, and that is straining global supply chains to meet the elevated levels of demand.

The shift has not been as abrupt as when the pandemic began and much of the foodservice industry around the world had to shutter, but it has been disruptive. As the developed world edges closer to herd immunity, it is expected people initially will flock to restaurants and reengage with their local communities.

This is translating to significant food price inflation.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture in late April forecast prices for all food in 2021 to rise 2% to 3% from 2020, when prices were up 3.4% from 2019. Prices in March 2021 were up 3.5% from March 2020.

High input prices are not a new situation for food and beverage manufacturers. There is a “playbook” focused on pricing and savings, which management teams may follow to offset the rising costs. Newer levers that may be pulled include more effective price/ pack architecture and an emphasis on innovation in the premium space.

“We continue to see signs of North America emerging stronger from the crises,” said Graeme David Pitkethly, chief financial officer at Unilever, in late April. “Demand for in-home foods remains high, and our out-of-home business is recovering faster than we expected.”

In May, David L. Wenner, interim president and chief executive officer of B&G Foods, said he sees the inflationary situation lasting into 2022.

“My personal opinion on the agricultural commodity side is that this is more than a one-year phenomenon, that this crop is not going to fix the problem even if it’s a good crop, and that we will see elevated costs going into 2022,” he said.

“If you look at the history of things like soy and corn oil, and things like that,” Wenner added, “this kind of thing happens every eight, 10 years. And it takes a year or two of good crops to shake it out back to normalized levels. There is a long-term normalized level of pricing in the market for these kinds of commodities. Shortages drive those up, and it may drive it up for more than one year.”

Adding to the pressure of rising prices is food and beverage manufacturers also must discern what consumer behaviors embraced during the pandemic will remain. Increased use of e-commerce, for example, is expected to stick, according to Tim Steiner, co-founder and chief executive officer of Ocado Group, but with caveats.

“This is the new normal and not the old normal,” Steiner said during a June presentation during the virtual Consumer Goods Forum. “Everywhere during the pandemic, we saw acceleration. We will see it continue, maybe [there will be] a bit of pullback, but then more acceleration.”

Pricing, availability, range, freshness, and execution are all attributes retailers competing in e-commerce will need to focus on to get beyond the potential pullback Steiner referenced and reap the reward of the acceleration he expects to follow.

The outlook for restaurants and institutions remains cloudy. Recovery is underway as more people are vaccinated and comfortable dining out, but changing mobility trends may shift where restaurants are located in the future and how they serve customers.

The work-from-home trend is expected to accelerate even as some offices reopen. Hiring managers participating in a survey by the company Upwork, a connectivity platform, said they expect the number of people working remotely to nearly double by 2025 from where it was pre-pandemic. In other words, an estimated 36 million U.S. workers are expected to be working from home in four years.

More people working from home offers consumer packaged goods manufacturers a long-term opportunity, and many are adding capacity to meet the perceived increased demand. Conagra Brands, General Mills, J.M. Smucker, Kraft Heinz, Nestlé, and many other companies are investing in capital projects to expand production capacity.

The past 18 months may be described as a great experiment born out of necessity. It has reinvigorated the frozen food and center aisles of supermarkets, pushed many consumers to become more comfortable in their kitchens, and accelerated consumer adoption of e-commerce and other digital platforms.

These accelerated trends emanated from stay-athome orders put in place to bend the infection curve of the virus. As the pandemic fades, it is expected that each trend will decelerate as consumers revert to a pre-pandemic normalcy. But no one knows what that new normal will look like or how it will affect the sales channels food and beverage manufacturers serve daily.

Battle Tested and More

A

s meat and poultry processing companies continue down the path toward recovery after historic setbacks and operational challenges caused by COVID-19, many of them are now facing new hurdles related to labor, transportation, feed costs, labor shortages, and threats to cybersecurity that again spotlight the fragility of the industry’s supply chain, from farm to fork.

In early June, JBS USA reported a hacker breached the company’s servers in North America and Australia, forcing its leaders to make the difficult decision to pay an $11 million ransom to minimize the impact of the cyber attack. This was one in a series of events in 2021 that is testing the mettle of an industry that was down, but never out, throughout the enduring pandemic.

In most quarterly earnings reports from some of the industry’s highest-profile companies, many executives have issued warnings of looming price increases as input costs have tempered sharp increases in sales, especially in the resurging foodservice channel. A shortage of front-line plant workers, which fueled operational headaches long before the pandemic, were exacerbated by well-publicized outbreaks of the virus at many plants, forcing companies to offer higher wages, hiring and referral bonuses, and richer benefits packages. Even so, most plants have not seen production at pre-pandemic levels and are scrambling for workers.

Meanwhile other rising operational costs are not relenting in 2021 and will likely continue well into 2022.

Expectations for sustained high feed costs have many chief financial officers executing hedging strategies to temper the impact on the second half of the year.

Companies like Hormel Foods, facing corn feed prices that increased by 40% early in 2021, not only raised prices for its Jennie-O Tukey Store products, but also caused the company to reformulate its feeding formulas to use more soybean meal and less corn. Earlier this year, Sanderson Farms said its average feed costs per lb of poultry products processed increased nearly 27% so far in 2021. Offsetting higher market process for chicken boneless breast meat, chicken breast tenders, and especially jumbo wings (priced 89% higher than last year), prices for Sanderson’s chicken products increased by nearly 33% (22¢ per lb) in the first quarter of the year. Poultry processors are holding out hope that the chicken sandwich war among QSR chains and, more broadly, the continued reopening of foodservice operations, will continue to bolster demand in 2021 or at least until inflation-induced costs flatten.

The U.S. pork industry is hoping for continued

large volume and value of exports in the year ahead, especially to China. Pork production for 2021 is expected to be flat with 2020, and broiler production is expected to be up 0.5%.

Dan Halstrom, president and chief executive officer of the U.S. Meat Export Federation, expressed cautious optimism about the prospects for exporters as of the first quarter.

“Transportation challenges are currently a dominant concern, particularly the congestion and container shortages at our West Coast ports where shorthanded crews are handling record-large cargo volumes,” Halstrom said. “Labor is also at a premium in processing plants, which affects the industry’s ability to fully capitalize on demand for certain labor-intensive cuts and variety meat items.”

In early May, Donnie Smith, then chief operating officer and group president of poultry with Tyson Foods, echoed the concerns of other meat and poultry companies coming out of a global pandemic, facing the fallout and new challenges. He said the company’s pork plants are short staffed, and in addition to juggling schedules and adjusting wages higher, the company is like others in its investment in automation and technology “to try to alleviate these more difficult and high-turnover jobs.”

“It’s been taking us about six days to do five days’ worth of work because of turnover and absenteeism,” he said.

For Tyson and other beef processing companies, however, demand and margins helped this industry segment survive and thrive despite the pandemic and the market challenges of 2021.

However, according to Cattle Buyers Weekly Publisher Steve Kay, in his mid-year report for MEAT+POULTRY, published in June, beef producers’ woes have continued while processing fed beef has been quite profitable.

“Cattle producers at all levels struggled from pandemic-depressed prices,” Kay wrote. “Live cattle prices mounted a modest rally this past April but then began to fall back even as wholesale boxed beef prices soared.”

USDA’s weekly comprehensive cutout (cuts, grinds, and trim) advanced more than $53 per cwt in the six weeks leading up to the end of April.

“This was the biggest rally in such a period in industry history,” according to Kay. The result was operating profit for fed beef processors that soared from early in the year to unprecedented levels, according to Kay, averaging a positive $310 per head in the first quarter and exceeding $600 per head the last week of April.

Grain-based Companies Strive to Hold 2020 Gains

E

ven while facing uncertainty about the outlook for business given a resurgence of the COVID-19 pandemic, grain-based food companies in 2021 have sought to maintain and build on gains achieved since March 2020 in retail sales, while also capitalizing on the gradual recovery of markets like foodservice hit hard by the pandemic.

For example, Hostess Brands, Kansas City, enjoyed strong results in the first quarter of 2021 and affirmed its outlook for 3% to 4.5% sales growth and strong earnings growth. The company appeared to be enjoying the best of both worlds, with strong supermarket sales and growing business from outlets, such as convenience stores that had suffered through much of last year, said Andrew P. Callahan, president and CEO, in late February.

“We continue to experience elevated at-home consumption, while at the same time, increased on-thego snacking and consumer mobility are benefiting our profitable single-serve mix,” he said.

Bread bakers also achieved success. Grupo Bimbo achieved record results in its first quarter this year, paced by strong U.S. demand for branded bread, buns, breakfast products such as baked and English muffins, sweet goods, and snacks. The parent company, a major global baker, hit all-time first-quarter highs for sales, profits, and margins.

Branded business also has been a driver at Flowers Foods. In the company’s first quarter, strong growth was achieved by Canyon Bakehouse and Dave’s Killer Bread, while heritage brands Nature’s Own declined modestly. Overall, sales of packaged bread at supermarkets remained elevated above pre-pandemic levels in the first months of 2021.

Like other center-of-store categories, ready-to-eat cereal sales have grown during the COVID-19 pandemic, though not as quickly as breakfast-at-home alternatives, such as eggs and pancakes. Following a strong start to the company’s 2021 first quarter, Kellogg raised its guidance for the year. Still, it was the company’s snack business that propelled company growth in early 2021, while cereal sales slipped after sensational gains in the first quarter last year.

While the past year has not been an active one in mergers and acquisitions, particularly among major

grain-based foods companies, it has not been completely devoid of activity. Most notable was the sale earlier this year of the North American business of Aryzta to private equity firm Lindsay Goldberg for $850 million. Swiss-based Aryzta had been struggling for some time, leading to the sale of the North American business, which has been renamed Aspire Bakeries and which operates several baking businesses, including brands such as Otis Spunkmeyer and La Brea.

After going through an ownership change in late 2019, The Bakery Cos. rebranded as Crown Bakeries earlier this year and has been active in the mergers and acquisitions front.

In 2021, Crown Bakeries acquired Lawrence, Mass.-based Bagel Boy, a baker of premium, New York-style bagels, and Michel’s Bakery, a Philadelphia-based baker specializing in large-scale, private label baking for distributors and quick-service customers. A year earlier, The Bakery Cos. acquired a baking plant in Smyrna, Ga., from Specialty Bakers.

The plant produces and distributes laminated dough items, including croissants and Danishes, as well as sweet baked goods for in-store bakeries. Also in 2020, the company bought Steck Wholesale Foods of North Sioux City, S.D., a baker of English muffins and biscuits.

In international transactions, Mondelēz International in May agreed to acquire Chipita, a global baker of packaged cakes and pastries, based in Athens.

In the donut business, two leading chains have “swapped places,” with a privately held business completing an initial public offering and a publicly traded company going private. Owned by JAB Holding since 2016, Krispy Kreme Doughnuts went public July 1. The offering was priced at $17 per share, well below the $21 to $24 range that had been anticipated. Still, the offering valued Krispy Kreme at $2.8 billion, well above the $1.35 billion price paid by JAB five years earlier. The IPO followed by about half a year the December 2020 acquisition of Dunkin’ Brands Group by Inspire Brands for $11.3 billion. Inspire owns several restaurant brands, including Arby’s, Buffalo Wild Wings, Sonic Drive-In, and Jimmy John’s.

PET FOOD PROCESSING

Pet Ownership, Specialty Formats, and E-commerce on the Rise

D

espite challenges, pet industry sales in the U.S. exceeded $100 billion in 2020 for the first time ever, according to the American Pet Products Association (APPA). Petfood and treats accounted for $42 billion of that record-breaking total and represented a 9.7% increase from 2019.

Overall, pet ownership has increased in the U.S., according to the APPA 2021-2022 National Pet Owners Survey. APPA estimates 70% of households own at least one pet, up from 67% reported in its previous survey. Illustrating the importance pets hold in our lives, APPA found that 35% of pet owners reported spending more on petfood, wellness-related products, and other pet supplies over the past 12 months than in previous years. Consumer preferences for ethically sourced, environmentally friendly products remain high, with APPA reporting 51% of pet owners said they are willing to pay more for these kinds of petcare products.

Although dry dog food remains dominant in the market with 57% of the sales, several up-and-coming petfood formats—while still a small subset—are growing faster than the overall market. Dehydrated dog food sales in 2020 totaled $239.9 million, which was a growth of 10.7% over 2019, according to NielsenIQ. Frozen petfood sales were up 14% for a total of $236.1 million, and fresh and refrigerated petfood sales grew an impressive 20.7% for a total of $78.3 million in 2020.

Brands launched a total of 569 new petfood and treat products in the U.S. between June 2020 and May 2021, according to Mintel. Tree Top and Mintel partnered on a report detailing key formulation trends seen in the U.S. petfood market. This report found that functional petfood formulas, specifically those claiming digestive health support, are currently coming out on top.

Roughly 58% of pet owners who participated in the survey said they are interested in petfoods and treats with “healthy digestion” claims, followed by 52% who are interested in mobility support, 49% in skin and coat health, 46% in immune system support, and 40% in cardiovascular health products.

While the mainstream retail channel—which includes grocery, mass, club, dollar, and military outlets—is still the largest point of sale for petfood and treat products and actually grew 3% last year, e-commerce sales for these products hit $9.4 billion in 2020, officially overtaking brick-and-mortar pet specialty, according to NielsenIQ. On average, total petfood volume sales on e-commerce grew 47.4% from 2019, with dry food volume sales growing 43.1%, wet food sales growing 49%, and treats leading the growth at 58.7%. This shift increased e-commerce’s share from 21% of the petfood and treat retail market in 2019 to 27% in 2020.

Similar to all other consumer goods industries, sustainable packaging is an important topic in the petfood industry. According to the Pet Sustainability Coalition (PSC), roughly 300 million lb of flexible petfood and treat packages are manufactured in the U.S. each year, of which almost all are produced through co-extrusion and laminating multiple layers of film plastics. These materials are “nearly impossible” to separate to be recycled, the organization said. Because of this, an estimated 99% of petfood packages in the U.S. wind up in landfills rather than recycling streams.

In February, PSC gathered more than 400 attendees at its virtual UnPacked21 conference that touched upon nearly every aspect of the packaging supply chain, from resin and biofilm producers to finished goods manufacturers to retailer partners. Some of the top takeaways from that conference for petfood and treat processors were to increase the recycled content no matter what type of packaging in use, minimize the size of packaging, and reimagine the opportunities that e-commerce might bring to eliminate packaging when possible.

In today’s increasingly proliferating petfood and treat marketplace, brands are answering consumer demands for better nutrition, a variety of tailored options, and more eco-conscious products.

Cautious Salary Optimism Returns After a flat salary year in 2020 with heightened uncertainty and worry about both traditional salary increases and bonuses, 2021 results indicate that confidence is returning. Meanwhile, job security is high and fewer people are seeking greener pastures at new jobs.

By Matt Reynolds, Editor Getting down to brass tacks, overall reported salaries rebounded slightly in this year’s reporting, up 5.7% after a dip last year. But only a little more than a third of this year’s 828 respondents also took the survey last year, with another quarter who may or may not have (they don’t recall). The remainder absolutely didn’t take it last year. Since people are mostly different, the reported salary number is less of an indicator of what’s happening than the reported change in salary. We’re looking for change velocities more than dollar figures.

That stands to dropped by 1 percentage point, and the number of those earning between $70,000 and $100,000 dropped by 5 percentages points. During that same time, reason. Packaging was proven an essential job function during the last 16 months, and lots of brands/CPGs fared percentages of those earning $100,000 more increased by 6 percentage points.

Are we there yet? Is it safe to say we’re emerging from the uncertainty of a pandemic into the (forgive the now-cliché) new normal? Are we recalibrating to adjust to what global consumer trends monitor Mintel calls the “next normal?” If the results of the annual Institute of Packaging Professionals (IoPP) Salary Survey are any evidence, the answer seems to be “kind of.” Uncertainty is diminishing, and confidence is returning.

We’re on the downslope, but we aren’t fully there yet.

Salary Range

Avg. (x $1,000) Base: 602*

*Note: The 2020 (reported in 2021) average salary $122,420 is based on 828 total responses among 19 job function categories. The graphic above only illustrates eight highly pertinent packaging job functions with a significant number of responses, explaining why the base numbers here add up to 602 instead of 828. The other 11 job duties, like Human Resources, Quality Control, Warehouse Logistics, or Education, comprised the remaining 226 base responses.

extremely well, struggling only to keep up with demand. As long as food, bev, and personal care CPGs could handle the swing away from foodservice and hospitality, and toward retail and e-comm, business was good.

But respondents are still battle-worn from the last 16 months. One indicator that we’re not fully back to normal is that people are exhibiting quite limited job-seeking behavior (page 42). People are still in “hunker down and hold on to what ‘ya got” mode, and loyalty is high to companies who kept respondents employed in uncertain times. Job security is as high as we’ve seen it in this survey, and people are sticking around and avoiding the risk of seeking greener pastures.

One noteworthy finding was a fairly clear distinction between generations, age groups, and experience levels. Younger and less experienced folks exhibited the most confidence in their future, and the most upward mobility (as stands to reason when early in careers). There’s a magical

‘five years of experience’ marker that seems to be a jumping off point for the greatest salary increases (percentage wise). With a tight and tightening job market, people are making more at lower age, education, and experience levels, though an undergraduate degree offers greater momentum. Obviously, the highest age, education, and experience levels command the highest salaries. But even so, upward mobility is diminished at that plateau, and there’s less confidence in continued earning momentum. Notably, we saw the words “age,” “ageism,” and “continued relevance” frequently listed, unprompted, as threats to job security in the verbatim section, something we haven’t noticed previously.

As our magazine’s cover indicates, it feels like the post-pandemic thaw is on. The usual indicators of uncertainty that peaked last year are waning, and confidence in a more lucrative tomorrow (more by way of bonus than of traditional salary increase) is improving. PW

Methodology and Year-Over-Year Comparisons Information illustrated in this report is derived from a survey conducted by the Institute of Packaging Professionals (IoPP), PMMI, and Packaging World. Responses were collected between January 25 and April 9, 2021. Of the 996 total responses, 168 responses reporting their primary business was outside of the U.S. were removed from the following compensation reporting to avoid currency exchange and cultural variables, leaving a base of 828 highly qualified domestic packaging professional respondents.

Year-over-year comparisons are made many times throughout this report. However, only a portion of respondents reflected here are the same respondents as last year. As such, though similar, demographics are not identical. Commentary on year-over-year comparisons is intended to be in view of an evolving workforce, rather than a direct 1:1, apples-to-apples comparison. PW

2021 IoPP SALARY SURVEY Not All Packaging Jobs Fare Equally The overall salaries reported in this survey went up by 5.7% in 2020 (reported in 2021) compared to 2019 results (reported in 2020), but not all job functions or demographic groups fared the same.

Winners in a wild 2020 • Corporate management salaries as reflected in this survey went up by 13% compared to the previous year, from $168,370 to $190,970. It is possible that one or a few uncharacteristically high salaries skew this large jump, since corporate management has a less rigid upper bound/vertical limit than roles like Engineering and Package Design.

• The Human Resources job function represented a small sample, but all 8 respondents are doing well and confident in next year. 100% received a salary increase this year, and 100% expect another salary increase next year. This may be a function of a tight labor market and the importance of HR being able to recruit and retain capable workers.

• Quality Control salaries jumped by 27% from $86,350 to $109,370. While this is noteworthy, sample sizes were fairly small with only 24 reporting last year, and 10 this year. Still, 80% of QC respondents got a raise this year, and 90% expect one next year.

• Confidence in earning more next year was at 71% across industries, but people in the Automotive (89% expect to earn more) and Pharmaceutical (80% expect to earn more) industries displayed the most confidence. Both were above average in reporting a salary increase in the past year, also.

• Salaries in the Mountain and Pacific Regions increased by 19% and 11% respectively. The Pacific Region also reported the highest salaries overall at $139,220.

• The 3- to 5-year experience cohort tends to be on the verge of a significant salary bump. The group has the greatest upward mobility, is the most likely to have received a both raise and a bonus in the previous year, are the second most likely to expect a raise in the coming year, and see the largest salary jumps (by percentage of their previous base salary) as they grow into the 6- to 10-year experience range.

• Mid-sized companies, from 500-999 in size, saw a 19% increase in salaries to $120,520, the highest percentage increase of the various company sizes. The largest companies (50,000 employees or more) still command the highest overall salary figures, but the perhaps more nimble, more agile mid-sized companies were better able to quickly adapt in a crazy 2020, resulting in a higher percentage gain.

In-line with the averages • Supply Chain jobs maintained last year’s COVID-19 bump with a 5% increase this year to an average of $125,490, in line with the overall 6% increase.

Last year, these jobs experienced 10% salary growth, the only job duty to increase in salary last year over the previous, from an average of $108,750 to $119,420. It is thought that supply chain management was put at a premium during the pandemic, and that seems to have carried over to this year.

• Engineering job salaries increased from $108,700 last year to $117,800 this year, an 8% bump that’s in line with the 6% overall increase in salaries.

• The youngest cohort, 18-34 experienced the second-highest salary bump at 8%, in line with the overall 6% salary increase average.

Most negatively affected • Innovation impacted? Average salaries for Consultant jobs dropped by 13% between the last survey and this survey, from $127,500 to $111,030.

Purchasing salaries as reported dropped by 17%, from $104,220 to $86,890. And Research and Development jobs saw a 2% drop from $121,500 to $118,970—2% isn’t much, but keep in mind overall salaries went up by 6%. While correlation is not necessarily causation, it’s interesting to note that consultants, purchasers, and R&D mentioned above are all related to bringing innovation & new products to a brand or CPG. Packaging lines for brands and CPGs in food, beverage, and personal care (such as soap and hand sanitizer) were often at capacity in 2020, and these companies were struggling just to keep up with exorbitant consumer demand. This meant less capacity for new lines, new equipment, and R&D into new product SKUs. SKU proliferation actually contracted for the first time in a long time in 2020. Perhaps this impacted consultants, purchasers, and R&D in 2020. Of note, consultants and purchasing as a job duty didn’t fare so well in 2020, but of respondents in the Consulting Services industry 79% expect to make more in 2021.

• Salaries in the Northeast and East South-Central regions were down by 2% and 1% respectively, the only two regions to report decreases compared to last year. The East South-Central region also had the lowest salaries of all regions at $109,690.

• The smallest companies, with 1-9 employees, saw a 7% drop in salary, to $104,2100. Perhaps these companies had the fewest resources to manage a high-pace-of-change 2020.

Mixed results • The oldest cohort, 65+, experienced the largest year-over-year salary bump of 31%, from $107,250 to $140,350. This reflects the smallest sample size of the age cohorts (43 respondents), however, and a few unusually high large salaries can affect averages. Meanwhile, this group is the least likely to expect to earn more next year, and of those expecting to earn more, they expect the smallest bump. Some of this is a natural result of having attained top positions in their field with less remaining upward mobility. However, the write-in/verbatim answers indicate that, unprompted, 4% of all respondents, or 24 people, expressly consider their age, ageism, and continued relevance in a changing world as their greatest threat to job security. This is the first time we’ve seen such an explicit generational divide in the results of the survey.

2021 IoPP SALARY SURVEY Best Predictors of Salary What were the top predictors of a salary? After the obvious job function variable—corporate management makes more than operators on average—the three factors of experience, education, and age are the most accurate salary predictors. However, we see some evidence of drift away from this correlation. Those without undergraduate degrees are doing better than last year, evidence of labor scarcity and the premium on capable workers regardless of education level. Meanwhile, the gender-based wage gap persists, in part due to demographics.

Education

Age

• 63% of those without undergraduate degrees earn less than $100,000. That figure was 75% in 2020, and 62% in 2019.

• The largest difference in salary, one of 31%, occurs between the 18-34 cohort and the 35-44 cohort.

Assuming age and experience are closely correlated, this stands to reason.

• Those without undergrad degrees earned an average of $95,380, up 12% from $84,500 last year. Perhaps this is an indicator of the tightening labor market.

• The biggest salary jump based on education, a 25% difference in salary this year, was reported between a high school/some undergraduate ($95,380), and an undergraduate degree ($122,200).

• People with undergraduate degrees are more confident in a raise. 76%

of people with undergraduate degrees expect to get a raise this year, compared to only 51% of those without undergraduate degrees.

• People with undergraduate degrees feel more secure in their jobs. 52%

feel very secure and 33% feel somewhat secure.

Respectively, those numbers are 37% very secure and 41% somewhat secure for those without undergraduate degrees.

• Ensuing pay percentage gains—from undergraduate to graduate degree (+5%) and graduate degree to doctoral degree (+11%)—aren’t as drastic, so the greatest pay gains by percentage are correlated with getting that undergraduate degree.

Experience • The experience continuum has the most graduated pay scale correlation, with two experience markers that seem to result in a vault forward in pay. More so than any other predictor, the largest salary jumps

occur after the employee gets at least 5 years of experience under his or

her belt.

• The least experienced respondents are most likely to expect a raise next year.

83% of those with 2 years, 78% of those with 3-5 years, and 80% of those with 6-10 of experience expect to earn more next year. Those numbers are 72% for those with 10 to 20 years of experience, and 61% for those with more than 20 years experience, an expected function of greater upward mobility in less experienced cohorts.

• At greater experience levels, upward mobility and room to grow can be diminished. Though most (72%) highly experienced (11-20 years) still expect to earn more next year, they expect the earnings bump to be more modest—92% of those with 11-15 years of experience and 87% of those with 16-20 years of experience expect a raise of less than 10%.

• Experience pays. People with more than 20 years of experience earn 21% more ($150,450) than BOTH the 11- to 15-year ($121,240) and 16- to 20year ($121,660) experience ranges.

• The second biggest salary jump based on experience, a difference of 20%, is between the 3- to 5-year range, and the 6- to 10-year range, meaning that the 5-year mark is a good indicator of when an average employee can expect to see significant pay scale gains, if they keep at it.

• While lower education levels (above) have correlated with rising salaries between 2019 (reported in 2020) and 2020 (reported in 2021), we don’t see the same effect with lower experience levels. People with less than 2 years of experience only earned 0.65% more in 2020 (reported in 2021) than they did in 2019 (reported in 2020).

• Of the 18-34 cohort, 84% expect to earn more than last year. This reflects the greater upward mobility of younger ages. Only 61% and 64% of the 45 to 54 and 55 to 64 cohorts, respectively, expect to earn more next year, and only 57% of 65+.

• Younger people switch jobs more frequently. 39% of the 18-34 age range say they possibly, definitely, or currently are seeking a new job in the coming year, compared 27% of 35- to 44-year-olds, 28% of 45- to 54-year-olds, and 26% of 55- to 64-year-olds.

• 26% of the youngest cohort, aged 18-34, make more than $100,000 per year. That cohort also earned 8% more in 2020 ($88,980) than they did in 2019 ($82,560), beating the average salary increase across all ages of 5.7%.

• 29% of the oldest 65+ cohort earn less than $100,000, perhaps indicating reduction in hours or responsibility. They also earn 5% less ($140,350) than the next youngest cohort, 55- to 64-year-olds, who report making the most of any age group at $147,110.

Gender • The average salary reported by women ($109,210) still trails that of men ($127,900) by 16%, meaning the gender pay gap persists.

• 21% of women respondents are engineers, compared to 29% of men. Current programs attracting women to STEM education aim to bridge that gap.

• 6% of women respondents are in corporate management positions, compared to 10% of men. Programs aimed at grooming women for leadership positions should result in more equal representation in this job function.

• The reported average salary difference between genders for the past three years has been $18,500 (2018), $16,900 (2019), and $18,690 (2020).

• Despite the persistent gap, there’s hope for greater equality. First, female respondents averaged 5 years younger than male counterparts, with an average age of 41 compared to men at 46. Younger cohorts tend to earn less.

• Women are still a lot less experienced, with 49% claiming 10 years or less in experience compared to 33% of male respondents with less than a decade of experience. Women respondents averaged 12 years of experience, 3 years less than men respondents’ 15. More experience correlates with higher salary.

• Women are every bit as educated as men, perhaps a bit more. 58% of women have undergraduate degrees compared to only 50% of men, and we know an undergraduate degree, compared to un-degreed workers, is responsible for the largest percentage of salary jump with education as a variable.

Gender-based wage gap is persistent and frustrating.

Taken together, the above insights collectively indicate that the age and experience distribution of women in packaging is a factor in the salary gap. Women less frequently report their job function as engineering or corporate management, something that many programs are working to change via youth programs exposing women and girls to STEM subjects and leadership skills. The good news, as it was last year, is that the survey reflects a younger and less experienced cohort of women—with collectively comparable or better educations—that should eventually emerge into the upper age and experience echelons they previously didn’t inhabit. If and when the age, experience, and job duty distribution of women more closely matches that of men, considering the education distribution is already even, we will be able to isolate gender as a variable in salary.

Still, the single year-over-year snapshot didn’t reflect any progress, so in the short term, the persistent wage gap is frustrating.

2021 IoPP SALARY SURVEY Findings on Raises and Bonuses Lots of companies understandably tapped the breaks on traditional salary increases in 2020. Even so, respondents’ confidence in earning more this year than in the previous year has returned after early pandemic anxieties about making less than the previous year. Some companies appear to have opted for single-year bonuses instead of more permanent traditional salary increases (raises) to keep compensation temporarily steady while mitigating future uncertainty.

Of the 63% of all respondents who reported getting traditional salary increases last year, most raises (89%) were of less than 10%, with most being under 5%. Under some conditions, when companies aren’t able to commit to permanent salary increases, single-year bonuses are used as temporary compensation. Some of this dynamic may be evident in the bonus findings on page 41.

When asked about expectations of their salary the following year in early 2020, we saw a slight uptick in people worried about making less, probably born from uncertainty. That dropped by 3% when asked again this year, in early 2021, and expectation to earn the same rose by 3%.

Meanwhile, confidence in earning more next year remains flat at 71%.

Greater confidence.

Forward-looking responses on future salary expectations (71% expect to earn more)—not only in whether they expect an increase, but also in how much of a salary increase— display greater confidence when compared to backward-looking responses on existing salary increases for the previous year (63% got more).

Fears of Missing Bonus Unfounded. Last year’s results revealed a 4-percentage point reduction (from 63% in 2019 to 59% in 2020) in the number of people who both received a bonus last year (2019) and expected one this year (2020). Now, in 2021, it appears that number has rebounded back to 63%, indicating that while traditional salary increases were stagnant, fears about not getting a bonus were unfounded. This is further supported by the 4-percentage point reduction (from 11% in 2020 to 7% in 2021) in people who got a bonus last year (2020), but don’t anticipate one this year (2021). Perhaps this hints at some companies being sure to keep singleyear bonuses in the compensation structure in 2020, while not committing as readily to more permanent traditional salary increases.

IoPP, CPP Bump. Once again, IoPP members reported higher salaries than non-members, and Certified Packaging Professionals (CPPs) earned higher salaries than their non-certified colleagues.

Remember, the average respondent regardless of IoPP affiliation earned 5.77% more than they did the previous year. That’s why it’s noteworthy that IoPP members earned 7.7% more than the previous year, beating the overall average, while IoPP non-members only earned 4.0% more than last year, trailing the overall average.

2021 IoPP SALARY SURVEY General Employment Seeking and Job Security Findings After highly uncertain year, respondents have weathered the storm well. In this year’s findings, they tend to be sticking around at their current companies, are less likely to be seeking new employment elsewhere, and are enjoying stronger job security than we’ve seen in recent years in this survey. The pandemic helped demonstrate how essential the packaging function is to CPGs and brands, resulting in a robust combination of loyalty, retention, and job security.

In a tumultuous year, survey respondents fared quite well, with only 1% reporting unemployment, and an impressive 85% reporting no change at all. At the time of this writing, the national unemployment rate is at 8% (was higher when responses were collected), for comparison’s sake. In uncertain times, people tend to hunker down and stay put.

Meanwhile, the packaging industry— including most of the job functions encompassed within it—were deemed quite essential by employers during the pandemic. Retention efforts by brands were rewarded by workforce loyalty.

Respondents are less likely to be possibly, definitely, or currently seeking a new job than they were in previous years. In times of uncertainty, people tend to mitigate the risk that comes with trying something new. Of course, this is not universally true, but there’s a tendency towards being conservative and holding on to an existing position. And indeed, compared to the previous year we see a 6% combined increase in people who are either definitely not or probably not seeking a new job.

Beckhoff Automation 13130 Dakota Ave, Savage, MN, 55378 Phone: 952/890-0000 Email: beckhoff.usa@beckhoff.com

www.beckhoff.com/packexpo From Flying Motion and adaptive manufacturing with XPlanar to cloud-connected IoT tools and beyond, Beckhoff will showcase new hardware and software solutions that enable revolutionary packaging applications at PACK EXPO Las Vegas 2021. New track-changing and stainless steel IP69K versions of the eXtended Transport System (XTS), along with updates to the fully integrated portfolio of Industrial PC (IPC), EtherCAT I/O, drive technology, mechatronics and TwinCAT 3 automation software technologies, are just a few innovations that will be on display.

The eXtended Planar Motor system, XPlanar, offers unparalleled capabilities for adaptive packaging, material handling and inspection, along with opportunities to shatter conventional thinking in automation, implement non-linear processes and enable true lot-size-1 production.

The Flying Motion system from Beckhoff creates no contamination through contract-free and wear-free movement, and the freedom to use any surface covering – stainless steel, glass, plastic, etc. – makes XPlanar a sanitary, washdown-capable solution. This will be the adaptive manufacturing technology’s in-person debut at a PACK EXPO event.

XPlanar comprises a base of freely arranged planar motor tiles that generate electromagnetic fields to levitate and propel passive movers in multiple sizes. With speeds up to 2 m/s and max acceleration of 1 g, movers carry payloads ranging from 0.4 kg to 4.2 kg (roughly 10 pounds) and can work together for even larger payloads. Path planning, automatic collision avoidance, 360-degree rotation and anti-sloshing functionality are standard in the motor tiles and TwinCAT software. As such, XPlanar delivers unlimited customization, fully integrated functionality and simplified programming for diverse packaging machines.

PACK EXPO attendees can also expect to see the latest updates to the eXtended Transport System (XTS) from Beckhoff. XTS Track Management further boosts the system’s flexibility with the software and hardware functionality to transfer movers between multiple XTS tracks, which enhances customization, quality inspection, automatic defect ejection and other critical production and packaging tasks.

Beckhoff will showcase new technologies from every product family, including TwinCAT 3 software, which offers a comprehensive engineering and runtime environment, along with integrated packages for IoT, analytics, robotics, machine vision and machine learning. Power measurement, overcurrent protection and TwinSAFE functional safety are just a few of the EtherCAT I/O solutions that will be on display. The C60xx ultra-compact IPC series will return to PACK EXPO with new variants to suit even more applications, and attendees will get a comprehensive look at the full IPC portfolio through the Beckhoff Embedded PC, Panel PC and Control Panel lines.

The AMP8000 distributed servo drive system will also be on display in the Beckhoff booth.

Control cabinets are increasingly eliminated from machine design with Beckhoff’s distributed, machine mountable products that include industrial PCs, I/O, drives and motors.

www.multi-conveyor.com Check out our new video "What we do in less than 30 seconds". This link https://youtu.be/WASQqcHPRFw overviews nearly every technology we build in the blink of an eye.

You see, we are a custom and standard conveyor manufacturer. Our products are multiple and unique. No one product defines Multi-Conveyor.

Our designers and engineers factor in safety, ease of use, maintenance, longevity, sanitation and agency compliance (as required) and quality components, making sure to meet or exceed your requirements. Flexibility in product shapes, weights and sizes are matched for increased throughput and future expansion.

We bring technology driven operator-to-controls communications encompassing functional engineering designs; HMI interface and servos that provide faster, more efficient changeovers to feed various line packaging, case packing and pallet forming configurations.

If this research is not done up front and a system is purchased on lowest initial cost, a poorly performing conveyor and extremely expensive retrofit could have you scrambling with interrupted production and a major headache in the process.

When comparing conveyor systems, make sure they’re apples-to-apples. Don’t settle for anything less.

Take the Multi-Conveyor challenge. Even if you’re satisfied with your existing conveyor supplier, let us quote your next project. What have you got to lose?

Triangle Package Machinery Company 6655 West Diversey Ave • Chicago, IL 60707 • USA Phone: 773/889-0200 Email: info@trianglepackage.com

www.trianglepackage.com Since 1923, Triangle has built a legacy of designing and building sanitary packaging equipment that has stood both the test of time as well as harsh washdown environments. We’re still servicing machines that have been running in the field since the 1950s. Today the family’s third generation carries on that tradition with superior engineering, a world-class manufacturing facility in Chicago, IL (USA) and unparalleled customer support.

VFFS Baggers Keeping food and workers safe are our top priorities. Our vertical form-fill-seal baggers are designed with sanitation and ease-of-use in mind. Triangle baggers meet USDA/3A and FSMA standards. All models come with an open, accessible design, sanitary forming tubes and sloped surfaces for easy run-off during washdown. Easy-changeover features include no-tool removal of forming tubes, sealing saws and film rolls, allowing you to run multiple SKUs, package styles and materials, quickly.

Premade Pouch Filler/Sealer For pre-made pouch applications, our rotary pouch machine is designed to run various styles, including Doy bags, and has the ability to store up to 48 recipes on the HMI. Inline Weighers Offering unmatched accuracy and speed, our family of inline combination weighers provides even product distribution, leading to fewer missed cycles compared to traditional circular multihead weighers. In addition, our inline weighers mount directly on top of VFFS baggers, saving valuable floor space and eliminating the need for costly mezzanines.

Horizontal Cartoning Systems Our Flex 1 cartoning solution is ideal for bag-in-box applications such as cereal, rice, cake mix and more. Key features include quick and simple 3D changeover, single- or twin-pack bag capability, servo drives, and a compact footprint. Pairing a Triangle inline weigher and VFFS bagger with this compact cartoner provides a great integrated bag-in-box system...all in a small footprint.

Superior Service & Support Your true relationship with Triangle starts when your machine is installed in your facility. Field service is available out of our Chicago headquarters as well as regionally throughout the US. Our 22 service technicians offer an average tenure of 18 years servicing Triangle equipment.

Spare parts are manufactured in our Chicago facility and are typically shipped the same business day.
