A Brand New Show! 2015 will be the start of PMMI’s Pack Expo East show. It will be held in Philadelphia, PA from February 16-18 at the Philadelphia Convention Center. NEM plans to be there in booth 925. We are looking forward to showing off our new Pharma-Grade unscrambler. This machine was designed with slanted and curved lines to eliminate flat surfaces (a requirement for clean room and sanitary applications). All material handling surfaces are completely FDA compliant.
The model NEHCPCL-36 includes a fully integrated hopper elevator so that the components are completely covered through the unscrambling process and an integrated ionized air rinser.
NEM will also be exhibiting our model NEMIRS. The NEMIRS is a stand-alone inspection-rejection system. The modular design allows it to be moved from line to line. This versatile machine can inspect using proximity switches, photo-eyes, limit switches or vision system. It can detect skewed caps, missing caps or foil liners, down bottles, miss-coded or un-coded bottles and can be a part of a Track & Trace or Serialization system.
NEM offers full or partial Track & Trace systems through our printer, vision and software partners. Come see us at Pack Expo East to learn more, or give us a call at (941) 755-5550.

Continual Improvement – Use For Everything
Continual improvement is what allows some companies to evolve and grow while others flounder and die. No company can afford to ‘rest on its laurels’ and expect that their business and customers will never stop coming. All industries change over time. It is the companies that continually look to improve on everything that will identify potential threats and new opportunities and jump on them when they need to be there.
A great example of this is that our company holds post-trade show meetings. We take time from everyone who attended the show’s busy post-show schedule and have them communicate their thoughts and ideas about the show. We discuss what we did right, what we could have done better, what we may have done wrong, and how each of these items can be improved upon. We actively solicit new ideas that we can try in the future. We encourage everyone to speak freely and bring suggestions on what they think would improve upon what we do. This quest for continual improvement has led to amazing growth for our company and as long as we are willing to evolve and change with the industry, we will continue to thrive.

How Are You Keeping Your Customer’s Informed?
Are you keeping your customers up to date on your company’s latest developments? How do you tell them when you have made improvements on your machinery? If we were all exactly the same it would be easy to inform your customers when there is something new to tell them. But we all are different, so it will take more than one method to get the word out.
Some of your customers will want to read about it in an e-mail. Others may want you to call to tell them about it. There are still other customers who rather you take the time to stop by and see them on a regular basis to keep them up to date. As you get to know your customers you will get a feel for which method of communication works best for each of them and their schedules. Whichever method works best make sure you keep a list of each customer’s preference so that when the time comes to communicate something new and important, you will be sure to get it to them in the method that will be most effective for them.

It’s Back!!! The Tampa Bay Packaging Machinery Manufacturer’s Open House!
Every February a conglomerate of packaging machinery manufacturers open their doors to visitors from around the world. The Tampa Bay area of Florida is home to dozens of packaging machinery manufacturers. A large number of us have decided to take advantage of this phenomena, much to our customer’s delight. The last week in February, we all open our doors to visitors who wish to see what we do and how we do it. Located within a couple hour’s drive from one another, a production plant manager can spend a week in sunny Florida and visit over a dozen different manufacturers to identify the equipment they need for their plant.
This year New England Machinery, Inc. will once again join the group with an Open House from February 23 to 27, 2015. Make your plans to visit the Tampa Bay area to see all types of packaging machinery including, unscramblers, cappers, orienters, hopper elevators, fillers, form/fill/seal, labelers, case packers and much more. If you want more information, give us a call at (941) 755-5550.

Time To Plan for 2015
It’s hard to believe but another year is almost over. The holiday season is upon us and we will be ringing in the new year before we know it. This is a great time to start preparing for 2015. Make a list now of all the things you hope to accomplish next year. What things do you want to have completed by this time in 2015? Once you have your list, put together the tasks required to achieve your goals. Put due dates down for every task that will have some ‘wiggle room’, but will still allow you to meet your objectives on time.
Once your plan is complete keep it in a location where you can look at it at least once a week to remind you of where you are at and where you are going. If you follow through with all the tasks, you’ll be happy to realize that 2015 turned out to be a productive year. All it takes is planning and follow through.

We’re Back From The Show
This year’s Pack Expo and Pharma Expo were fabulous shows. We met with a lot of great people, were able to show our latest models and are anticipating a busy 2015. We want to thank everyone who worked hard to make the shows a success for NEM and especially thank our customers for their support. Without our terrific customers, we could not continue to do what we love to do best – build great packaging machines.
We are now all hard at work following up with our show visitors and making sure they have the information they need to make important decisions. We are also starting to prepare for our next show, the all-new Pack Expo East 2015 in Philadelphia, to be held February 16-18. NEM will be in booth #925. If you missed us in Chicago, come see us in Philly!
