The Midlands Packaging Society held this year’s Pack to the Future conference at Loughborough University. The conference, with over 110 attendees was devoted to the subject of AI within the packaging industry.
During this event, we were pleased to present a Certificate of Outstanding Service to Christian Rössel in recognition of the dedication and support given to the society over many years.
Christian, who is also a Fellow of the Institute of Packaging/Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (IOM3) and a Chartered Engineer, has over 35 years’ experience in the European packaging industry working for companies such as Teich/Constantia, Rigid Containers and Titan Strapping Systems. In later years Christian set up his own business offering advice on packaging optimisation, cost reduction, strategic marketing and business development for sustainable growth. Markets included flexible packaging for the food and pharmaceutical sectors, strapping and wrapping of industrial goods for transport and corrosion protection.
During his service to the society, he has championed membership, supported our Pack to the Future conferences and chaired the Society in 2014 and 2015 when he also served on the board of the Packaging Society.
The award was presented by our Chairman, Tim Barbary, who said. “From a personal perspective, I and others on the committee have always valued Christian’s support, advice and passion which has ensured that the Midlands Packaging Society remains the respected society it is today”.
