New England Machinery offers a very versatile range of products. One of our lesser known, but certainly well-received products, is our Scoop Feeders. Our scoop feeders come in different models. One is a scoop feeder dropper. It sorts, feeds and drops scoops into empty containers. The other model is a scoop feeder placer. This model sorts and feeds scoops and places the scoops into filled containers. The machine then gently presses the scoops down into the product in a manner that does not raise dust (which can prevent induction sealing from working), and it precludes scoops sticking up above the lid area (causing lidding issues).
NEM engineers have even designed a scoop feeder that sorted and fed scoops into flexible bags after they were formed and filled and just prior to sealing. Our machines are amazing and our customers love them. If you are in need of a scoop feeder, make sure to contact New England Machinery, Inc. They know scoop feeding better than anyone.

How Have your Products Progressed?
In putting together some new marketing material recently, I noticed how our machines have evolved over the years. As a company founded by packaging machinery engineers, and having design engineering as our core strength, we never stop improving our equipment. To steal a line from a song, we “take the best and make it better” on a continual basis.
We gather feedback and requests from our customers, and determine how best to incorporate their good suggestions into our machines. We research industry trends and look for ways to conform to what the customers are going to need.
In order to stay on top, you must stay current. Your product must be at least as good as your competitors and you can count on the fact that they are working to improve as well. So take a good look at your products as they are today and compare them to what they were like 10 years ago, or even 5 years ago. If there are no changes, you better move fast to start making some, or you will be left behind by more progressive competitors.

Is Your Business Slower In Summer?
The packaging machinery industry is a year-round process. Consumers don’t stop purchasing just because it is summer time. If you find your company doesn’t seem quite as busy in the summer months, it might be that there are a few more people on vacation at that time of year, so you are getting less phone calls and e-mails. Use this time to strategize how you will attack everything when it gets a little busier.
Fall is the beginning of trade show season and for anyone in marketing, it is a hectic time. Just when the trade shows start to slow down, the holiday’s heat up, and before you know it, it’s the start of another busy year. So spend time this summer in taking courses to enhance your knowledge, read some industry books and magazines to keep up with the latest in your field, and do some networking to re-connect with your peers.

Why Have Refresher Training?
Last week we brought in all of our outside Sales personnel for a week long refresher training. It cost the company a lot of money to tie up our entire sales force plus many hours of our Engineering and Manufacturing personnel time to review our products and services. However, the end result was well worth the cost. It was a great opportunity to help re-solidify our team, to remind them of features and benefits of our machinery that they may have forgotten, and to update them on all the new design changes that we have made in recent months.
Everyone agreed, hands-down that the week was well spent. We look forward to planning another one in about six months. If you can’t bring everyone back to your facility, consider a day-long webinar that allows everyone to at least get caught up on any recent changes in your company.

Why Standarize?
We have quite a number of customers who have standardized on our machinery. It makes a lot of sense for them. Many of our machines have interchangeable parts and it cuts down on the amount of spare parts they need to keep on hand. It allows them to have their operators and maintenance personnel trained on the one type of machine instead of having to know the ins and outs of several. If they are a large corporation with multiple plants they can exchange machines when moving lines about. It is also helpful in getting to know the service personnel with one company as opposed to many.
If you are considering standardizing on one company, however, make sure the company is capable of handling all your needs. When vetting them out, check for their strength of engineering, responsiveness of customer service, number of years in business, and always check for references.

Brag About Your Successes
Do you tell your customers about your successes? Most people like to hear interesting stories and every company has several to tell. A good story usually starts with a plot that includes a problem and ends with a resolution. I’m lucky to work for a company that has a lot of really great stories.
Once I decided that we needed to share these stories, I spent time listening to the various ‘players’ or ‘characters’ involved in each project. I took notes about the issue, sequence of events, and the outcomes. Then I sat down at my computer and wrote the stories. It was great fun to write about how time and again our team of engineers, machine builders, and sales personnel orchestrated a resolution to a production challenge that was perplexing our customers.
We are taking these stories and putting them in a ‘Case Studies’ section of our website so that others can learn more about our amazing capabilities while enjoying a true story. Share your success stories wherever and whenever possible. Everyone loves a good story.
