Pack Expo launches FastTrack program for small and mid-sized processors
The global economy relies heavily on small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs). Though challenged by resource limitations, SMBs have been at the forefront of innovation over the last century thanks to a relentless focus on streamlining operations, minimizing costs and delivering product profitably enough to grow and expand. These very attributes provide the foundation for the SMB FastTrack program at PACK EXPO Las Vegas 2013 (Sept. 23-25; Las Vegas Convention Center), a new initiative designed specifically to connect SMBs with innovative packaging and processing solutions and other vital resources quickly and efficiently.
“Small- and medium-sized businesses account for 46 percent of private-sector output in the U.S. economy alone. Multiply that out on a global scale, and their impact is undeniable,” says Charles D. Yuska, president and CEO of PMMI, the owner and producer of PACK EXPO Las Vegas. “Creating a special program that makes it easier for SMBs to source innovation, build their network and advance their operations is a natural step in the evolution of the PACK EXPO shows.”
