VOLUME 67, NO. 1&2 T But far more than the distance, it is the long-inthe-tooth excuse of a high Canadian dollar that makes the plant shutdown announcement look so naively premature. With the Canadian dollar trading at a fairly reasonable US90-cent level as this issue of Canadian Packaging was going to press, citing high currency to add some sort of intellectual legitimacy only seems to add insult to injury. According to the company’s own press release, the Penetanguishene operation was showing “improved results in 2012 and 2013” when the Canadian dollar was f lirting with historically high exchange rates, so it would not be a stretch to suggest that those improvements would continue to firm up well into 2014 just based on the currency devaluation alone. And even at that, the whole high dollar argument is just so 2Oth Century to begin with. In this day and age, a truly competitive Canadian manufacturing enterprise should be able to hold its own even with the Canadian dollar being at par with its U.S. counterpart—it’s a basic requirement for the post-NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) manufacturing skillset. As it is, CCL Industries is recording a onetime $11 million restructuring charge related to the plant’s closure and financial assistance to the affected employees. In addition, it plans to spend another $25 million in various infrastructure upgrades at the Hermitage and Guanajuato facilities to accommodate the added production transferred there from Penetanguishene. It’s just a hunch, mind you, but something tells us that for a fraction of that combined sum, the Penetanguishene plant could have done sufficient infrastructure and capital upgrades of its own to help it overcome whatever competitive shortcomings it may have been struggling with that ultimately made it choose the easiest, and yet a highly regrettable, way out. Publication mail JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2014 ime is money, we’re so often reminded, in the world of business, and the packaging industry is no exception to the widely accepted axiom. Hence it is really bewildering when companies who should by all rights know better make hasty ill-timed decisions that with the benefit of hindsight look more short-sighted with each passing day. A case in point: the recent decision by Torontoheadquartered packaging products group CCL Industries to pull the plug on the company’s aerosol canmaking operation in Penetanguishene, Ont., which according to CCL has been losing money since 2009 due to the high Canadian dollar and the lack of major CPG (consumer packaged goods) end-user customers nearby. “Because our operation in Ontario now exports its entire output into the U.S., the distance from key customers and the steep exchange rise of the Canadian dollar over the last decade combined to significantly impede its competitiveness,” CCL Industries president Geoffrey Martin explained in a brief press release, adding that all of the plant’s production will be shifted to the firm’s CCL Container aerosol factories in Hermitage, Pa., and Guanajuato, Mexico, by mid-2015. While being physically close to customers is always a good idea in principle, geographic distance is not in itself an overwhelmingly compelling argument for making far-reaching investment decisions in the context of today’s globally operating supply chains. And it would bother us less if the factory in question was a division or subsidiary of some U.S.-based corporation, but the fact that CCL Industries has never been overtly shy about its Canadian roots and origins, dating back to 1951, makes the announced closure seem an exceptionally cold-hearted move— especially for the plant’s 170 employees.

Derived from the pure extract of the stevia plants, the so-called steviol glycosides has been used as a natural sweetener in South America for hundreds of years, according to the brandowner’s parent Merisant Company, and is now used to enhance foods and beverage products in many countries around the world. Originally sold in Canada in 50-piece one-gram sachet packs and 275-gram granulated bags for cooking and baking, the Pure Via Stevia brand has recently been expanded with the launch of new 800-packet boxes at the Costco chain of clubstores across eastern Canada. Designed for both home use and with foodservice and hospitality outlets in mind, the colorful litholaminated microf lute corrugated boxes— designed by the Chicago-based Graphidea Design and manufactured by Color-Box, LLC of Atlanta, Ga.—boast a convenient ‘kanga pack’ design for easy dispensing of the one-gram, poly-lined paper sachets. Manufactured by Terrebonne, Que.-based packaging converter Prolamina, each one-gram sachet contains a zero-calorie sweetening equivalent of two teaspoons of sugar, according to Merisant, which produces and packages the Pure Via Stevia brand at its manufacturing operation in Manteno, Ill. 106 6 01PAC-NWS-TAB.indd 6 JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2014 14-02-07 2:19 PM TODAY 20,000 OUTLETS 22 MACHINES Dave’s Outlets WeighPack Machines 2010 19 14000 2004 15 1500 1999 6 400 1994 David Lipson, President of International Foodsource Inc, started his business 20 years ago.

To keep that green momentum going in full swing, some of these leading global CPGs, including the world’s largest food company Nestlé S.A., have joined the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) in a new international initiative aimed at accelerating the use of bioplastics—derived from agricultural materials such as sugar cane, corn, bulrush and switch-grass—to reduce reliance on petroleumbased plastics to manufacture consumer packaging. Called the Bioplastic Feedstock Alliance (BFA), the group also includes other leading global CPG brand-owners—notably CocaCola, Danone, Ford, Heinz, Nike, Procter & Gamble and Unilever—who will work with authoritative experts from industry, academia and civil society to develop and support informed science, collaboration and education for standard evaluation and sustainable development of renewable materials that can be made into bioplastics. “Joining the alliance means we will be able to help build a more sustainable future for the bioplastics industry, while addressing issues such as land use, food security and biodiversity,” says Nestlé’s global sustainability manager Anne Roulin, adding that bioplastics made from sugar cane and other plant-based materials are already used to package some of the company’s brands. Since early 2012, Roulin notes, several sizes of the company’s VITTEL bottled water brand have been packaged in innovative PET (polyethylene terephthalate) bottles made from 30-percent plant-based material, with Nestlé now looking to develop new packaging solutions from second-generation bioplastics such as molasses or cane residue, as well as nonfood sources like algae, cellulose and waste products. According to WWF, one of the alliance’s key objectives will be to “guide the responsible selection and harvesting of agricultural materials used to make bioplastics” without reducing the availability of land for agricultural uses. “Ensuring that our crops are used responsibly to create bioplastics is a critical conservation goal, especially as the global population is expected to grow rapidly through 2050,” says WWF spokesperson Erin Simon. However, fears of having to make hard choices between the two land-use options are largely overblown, according to a recent study from the authoritative research institute European Bioplastics e.V. of Berlin, Germany. Using statistics from the Food and Agriculture Nestlé’s popular VITTEL water brand packaged in plastic bottles made from 30-percent plant-based material. Organization of the United Nations and calculations developed by Bioplastics and Biocomposites Institute of Hanover, Germany, the amount of land used to cultivate feedstock for bioplastics adds up to just a tiny fraction of one percentage point of land mass currently used for farming and grazing activities. “Our market data depicts production capacities of around 1.2 million tonnes in 2011, which translates to approximately 300,000 hectares of land-use to grow feedstock for bioplastics,” says the Bioplastics: Facts and Figures study. “In relation to the global agricultural area of five billion hectares, bioplastics make use of only 0.006 percent,” the report points out. “Metaphorically speaking, this ratio correlates to the size of an average cherry tomato placed next to the Eiffel Tower.” 2013 a “Busy Year” for the CCCA CCCA Chairman Peter Moore Report of Board Chairman Peter Moore's Address to Members of the Canadian Corrugated and Containerboard Association (CCCA) On November 21, 2013, the Annual General Meeting of the Canadian Corrugated and Containerboard Association was held in Brampton, Ontario. In his opening remarks, Chairman Peter Moore, CEO of Moore Packaging Corporation, described 2013 as “an exceptionally busy year” for the CCCA. A year-long rollout of the Association's Strategic Plan in accordance with its “Five Pillar” set of strategic objectives had generated a constant flow of projects created on behalf of all Members for the betterment of their industry. 3 FLEXIBLE PALLET OPTIONS. CAN YOUR PALLET PROVIDER DO THAT? Topping the list of achievements, a major communications initiative was launched to convey the unique attributes of corrugated board and demonstrate the intrinsic strengths that make corrugated containers the preferred choice for safe Food and Beverage packaging. A comprehensive advertising and public relations program emphasized performance advantages of corrugated compared and contrasted with other packaging materials. CHEP CAN! In a campaign overseen by a dedicated CCCA Marketing Committee and executed by communications firm, Smithcom, bilingual advertisements in selected Canadian Food Industry and Packaging journals were supported by editorials and advertorials reinforcing the key messages. Throughout the year a series of targeted seminars and informational sessions covered specific areas of industry importance. Three “roundtable” sessions addressed Human Resource and Health & Safety issues. Human Resources meetings involved personnel from both Mill and Converting members and included the first dedicated “stand-alone” Health and Safety session convened by the Association in many years. Four major seminars were developed for CCCA members, associate members and AICC guests: • Global Update with Mike Harwood (January) • Wax Replacement Update (April) • Global Update with Mike Harwood at the Quarterly Board Meeting in Halifax (August) • “Dick Target LIVE!” Production & Printing Techniques (October) STRINGER HALF BLOCK Working in tandem with the Paper and Paperboard Packaging Environmental Council (PPEC), the Fibre Box Association, Corrugated Packaging Alliance, American Forest and Paper Association and the International Corrugated Case Association, the CCCA addressed significant issues of common concern, and participated in two Government Lobby groups: the Coalition for Competitive Power Rates in Ontario and the Canadian Manufacturing and Exporters Association.

The winners proudly credit their star players, great team chemistry or a brilliant coach. The losers rant about the lack of spending to get the stars, certain players are inept and fire the coach. There is some truth in the comments but the cause and effect goes much deeper. You have to look at the root cause, as culture is the uberglue. To appreciate the impact that culture has on a business look no further than some prominent professional sports franchises. Most importantly, look to the creators of core values and the behaviour of the founders and leaders. Much can be learned from these sports influencers and applied to a business enterprise. In a May 2013 Forbes article on Leadership, Ken Holland, General Manager of the Detroit Red Wings states “Managing a hockey team is just like managing a business; you need to have a vision and stick to it.” Note 1 Once the vision and core values are set, strategic execution and patience are required. Holland argues that it’s all about winning and giving your fans something to cheer about. In the world of business the fans are the customers. They buy because they have a need but want and expect value for money. Based on consulting with several hockey professionals the article identifies five key themes behind a winning culture. • Communication/transparency: Build an open and transparent organization. • Trust: Trust is key between management/players and between fans/team. • Passion: You need people that are passionate: a burning drive to succeed. • Stability: High turnover is bad for team spirit, culture and sustainability. • Mentorship: A culture of caring and cross generational support is critical. Let’s take a closer look at some successful hockey, football and baseball sports franchises and their culture and values. Detroit Red Wings – Loyalty & Don’t Stop Believing… In 1982, Mike Ilitch, the Little Caesars Pizzas magnate acquired the Detroit Red Wings. Ilitch embedded his culture (as referenced by Holland) and since 1991 they have been one of the most successful NHL teams, winning the Stanley Cup four P R O D U C T’S F I R S T L I N E O F D E F E N S E 12 • WWW.CANADIANPACKAGING.COM 01PAC-IMP-TAB.indd 12 times in six Finals appearances. Their playoff streak currently stands at 22 in a row (1991–2013), the longest current streak of post-season appearances in all of North American professional sports. Players love to play for the Red Wings. An example of loyalty is recently retired Nick Lindstrom who played 20 years with the Wings. Steve Yzerman played 22 years and served another 4 years in the executive office. He is now the general manager of the Tampa Bay Lightning and the 2014 Canadian Olympic Team. His right hand man is his former Detroit GM Ken Holland and coach is the current Red Wing coach, Mike Babcock. New England Patriots – Humble Leadership and the Team In 1994 Robert Kraft, purchased the New England Patriots and in that year they made the playoffs for the first time since 1986. Under Kraft they have made the playoffs 15 times in 20 years. The team has won the AFC East title 13 times and they have won 3 of their 7 Super Bowl appearances. Kraft is described as a humble owner and entrusts his football decisions to his football professionals. In 2000 Kraft hired head coach Bill Belichick. Belichick is the team architect and Tom Brady is his consummate field commander. At the core of this success is the Team. In their first Super Bowl the players broke from ritual and rather than go into the stadium one-by-one when announced they all ran out together. Belichick was quoted as saying “That’s the reason we won, because we played as a team.” Humble and understated are often the words used to describe Kraft, Belichick and Brady. New York Yankees – Legacy and Winning at all Costs One of the most successful franchises in professional sports history, the New York Yankees, has been owned by the Steinbrenner family since the 1970’s. The Yanks have won 18 division titles, 40 AL pennants, and 27 World Series championships, all of which are MLB records. Most baseball players want to wear the Yankee pinstripes because of the legacy of the organization. Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle and current players Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera are just some of the star power. And the Yankees are the perennial payroll leader at around $200 million annually. Passion and winning describe the departed George Steinbrenner. He fired his manager Billy Martin on five separate occasions over 13 years. Martin, equally combative, played on 4 Yankee World Series teams and managed one for Steinbrenner. Toronto Maple Leafs – Show Me the Money 2017 will be the 100 year anniversary of the Toronto Maple Leafs. In their first 50 years they won the Stanley Cup an impressive 13 times or 26% of chances. Eleven were won under the ownership of Conn Smythe and in the later years his son Stafford and two partners. Since 1967 the Leafs have neither been to the finals nor won the Cup. It is the longest current drought of all the James D. Downham CEO & President teams in the NHL. PAC Over the past half century the Leafs have been owned by a bully who ran three Hall of Fame fan favourites, Horton, Keon and Sittler out of town; a grocery store magnate who made it to the semi-finals once; a strikeprone $129 billion Ontario teacher’s pension fund (the highest returns of biggest 330 public/private pension funds in the world) and today a JV between two “telephone cable guy” behemoths who are the fiercest competitors for Canadian media dominance. Under this brilliant money-first hodgepodge Forbes 2013 ranked Leafs #1 in the NHL in value at $1.15 billion. Conversely, in ESPN’s North American Ultimate Fan Ranking of 122 professional teams Leafs were at # 119, 122, 120, 121 and 120 over the past five years while the fans pay 20% more on average than the next highest priced ticket in the league. It’s an extraordinary business model – charge 20% more while delivering less value. The owners get rich while the fans get zilch! So here are four different cultures and business models to consider. The loyal Red Wings, team Patriots, win at all costs Yankees or show me the money Maple Leafs. The proverbial 1967 Maple Leaf logo tattooed on my……..tells you the players I line up with, but I’m yearning for Ilitch or Kraft to buy the team.

JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2014 • CANADIAN PACKAGING 01PAC-AN-TAB.indd 15 ifelong employees are something of a rarity in the modern workplace, especially in Canada’s much challenged and unsettled manufacturing sector. But Iain McColl is more than happy to be bucking the trend in his role as president and chief executive officer of Hibar Systems Limited—a remarkably successful Canadian high-tech manufacturing enterprise he joined shortly after graduating from Ryerson University in Toronto with a bachelor of mechanical engineering technology degree back in 1985. It’s a career decision the soft-spoken native of Toronto has never had a reason to regret, as he told Canadian Packaging during a recent visit to the company’s global headquarters and manufacturing operations in Richmond Hill, Ont.—except maybe for the fact that so many young Canadians these days are missing out on the solid career opportunities that Canadian manufacturing still offers them in spades. Sadly, McColl laments, they more often than not go begging due to the country’s chronic skilled trades deficit that often drives domestic manufacturers like Hibar to look to recent immigrants or offshore for the qualified people they need to fill some very well-paid, highly rewarding positions that belie the popular notion of Canada’s allegedly ‘walking dead’ manufacturing sector. In fact, things just keep getting better from year to year for Hibar Systems, founded in 1974 by German-born engineer Heinz Barall to manufacture precision dispensing pumps used in industrial machinery to dispense a multitude of different liquids inside a broad assortment of containers— from sauces and condiments in the food industry right through to harsh industrial chemicals and pharmaceutical formulations. Record Growth Nowadays enjoying record annual revenues, the company’s deep-rooted manufacturing prowess and devotion to product quality and innovation has steered the privately-owned enterprise through 40 years of consistent global growth that saw it emerge as the world’s leading manufacturer of battery assembly systems. Today, Hibar supplies virtually all the best-known consumer battery brand-owners with leading-edge battery manufacturing machinery, while successfully diversifying its product portfolio and vastly expanding its customer base around the world. WWW.CANADIANPACKAGING.COM • 15 14-02-07 1:59 PM AUTOMATE NOW The Hibar facility houses a total of 22 highly-automated CNC machining centers to fabricate the diverse range of parts and components used in the assembly of the company’s high-performance automated machinery. A row of Hibar-made metering pumps awaiting their turn to be installed inside fully-automatic filling machines. A Baldor break motor is mounted onto a side of a Hibar machine frame to provide robust conveyor driving during high-speed battery assembly. Heavy-duty SEW-Eurodrive motors integrated into Hibar’s high-volume battery manufacturing equipment to ensure efficient power transmission and low maintenance. With exports accounting for over 95 per cent of its sales, Hibar’s formidable manufacturing capabilities—well-respected across a multitude of key foreign markets—include design and manufacture of advanced automated dispensing systems; sophisticated high-speed assembly machines; custom-engineered packaging machines and turnkey lines; and other high-performance automated production systems. With a well-established and balanced customer base comprising some of the world’s leading brand names in the global food-and-beverage, personal care, cosmetic, other CPG (consumer packaged goods), pharmaceutical and technical industries, Hibar today employs about 140 people at its manufacturing facilities just north of Toronto in Richmond Hill’s Beaver Creek Business Park, which the company built starting in 1982 to accommodate robust business growth. Adding up to 130,000 square feet of production space on a company-owned 6.3-acre site, with approximately 1.9 acres available to meet any future expansion requirements as necessary, Hibar currently operates a steady one-shift, 5.5-days-perweek schedule to manufacture its diverse product range using some of the most advanced manufacturing technologies around. This includes 22 state-of-the-art CNC (computer numerical control) turning, milling and machining centers running f lat-out in impeccably tidy, cleanroom-like surroundings staffed by a dedicated, loyal and high-skill workforce with an average tenure of about 14 and a half years, according to McColl. “There is a very high degree of pride in the work they do, as well as the fact that many of them really love the content of their work,” McColl states. “We are getting involved with all kinds of stateof-the-art projects and a lot of development of brand new technology that does not yet exist—it’s all very exciting.” But as head of the senior management team of company co-owners formed after Hibar founder Barall passed away in 2006, McColl says one of the roadblocks to growth in manufacturing companies like Hibar is the shortage of skilled trades labor, calling the skillset mismatch “a very weak point in Ontario manufacturing.” Sound Advice As a participant in recent economic consultations with prime minister Stephen Harper, which included executives from several other local manufacturers, the subject of Canada’s lagging technology skills was addressed as a key hot-button issue, says McColl, adding he is often frustrated by the inability to find good home-grown skilled labor. “For a variety of reasons, our apprenticeship programs are not really that effective,” he states. “Despite both provincial and federal levels of government offering incentives to students to go into these programs, and incentives for businesses to hire apprentices and graduates of these programs, there appears to be a real social stigma—often originating with parents—making students shy away from skilled trades like electricians, machinists, Hibar makes extensive use of Festo’s pneumatic actuators and other automation devices in the assembly of the company’s automated liquid dispensing systems and filling lines. 16 • WWW.CANADIANPACKAGING.COM 01PAC-AN-TAB.indd 16 CANADIAN PACKAGING • JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2014 14-02-07 1:59 PM AUTOMATE NOW CNC operators, toolmakers and so on. “This sort of home-grown skilled labor is very hard for us to find, especially here in Ontario,” McColl asserts. “It got so difficult at one point several years ago that Hibar actually went to Germany in order to recruit skilled tradesmen directly from there.”. Unfortunately, he sighs, the situation has hardly improved in the years since. “There is a definite vacuum out there,” he says, pointing out that in recent years Hibar has become solely reliant on ‘new Canadians’ that have been trained abroad to fill the shortage of home-grown skilled labor. “We have a posting with several colleges right now to hire some recent grads from their apprenticeship programs, McColl says. “In some cases in the past we have posted available positions and received zero response.” When discussing the problem with the Harper government, it was suggested to consider more and better incentives to convince students to pursue a career in skilled trades, complemented by a proactive education campaign to show that these careers do not fit the stereotype of low-paid, backbreaking labor. “Today’s reality is that motivated, skilled and experienced trades persons can make a very comfortable living in rewarding, high-tech careers,” McColl states, “but I don’t think the message is really getting out there.” While McColl acknowledges that the prolonged erosion of Ontario’s manufacturing base—particularly during the recent Great Recession years—may be fueling the problem by creating a perception of a ‘dead end’ industry, he insists that it’s nowhere near the point where available talent pool exceeds the existing demand for skilled trades by local manufacturers who have weathered the economic turmoil and are trying to regain lost ground. “I really do not think we’re quite there yet,” he asserts. “Manufacturing in Canada has definitely not declined to a point where there are no jobs, and most other local manufacturers I talk to also tell me similar stories of being unable to find young people with the skills they need, so this vacuum is still a serious problem that needs addressing.” “When it comes to subsidized technical education, we really must look to the European models: countries like Germany have really got it down pat compared to us.” Sales and marketing manager Greg Bartle takes a close-up look at one of the finished Hibar metering pumps. Like all Canadian exporters, Hibar had to contend for some time with a resurgent high Canadian dollar that tempered its ability to compete globally, especially in the nearby U.S. markets. “Having the Canadian dollar at higher levels than the U.S. currency a few years ago was certainly challenging: it was a very difficult period for exporters,” McColl recalls. Dollar Woes “While we do take financial measures to mitigate the effects of a high dollar, buying futures when we secure a big contract to minimize our risks,” he reveals, “it definitely makes it much easier for us to be competitive with a lower Canadian dollar— especially when it comes to our standard-issue types of products. “We have also been pretty fortunate in having a very diverse customer base servicing a variety of different industries. “We are not dependent on any single industry such as the automotive sector, with its up-anddown cycles, and this has enabled us to weather the worst of the economic storm,” McColl says. “And being quite diverse geographically—sup- Flanked by Richmond Hill member of parliament Costas Menegakis (left) and Hibar’s chief executive officer Iain McColl, president of the federal government’s Treasury Board Tony Clement recently announced a $26,000 federal grant to assist Hibar in upgrading the company’s existing ERP (enterprise resource planning) systems infrastructure. JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2014 • CANADIAN PACKAGING 01PAC-AN-TAB.indd 17 plying our products to Asia and South America, in addition to our American cousins—has also helped us to overcome the economic doldrums.” With China quickly becoming one of Hibar’s most lucrative markets—accounting for nearly half of its global revenues last year—Hibar also has to deal with competing against low-priced knockoff products, which McColl says is a commonplace problem for many Canadian manufacturing exporters. “Protection of intellectual property is a major problem; I hear about it in manufacturing circles time and time again,” McColl states. “We address it to some extent by having taken out patent protection in China for some of our technologies, but even then you are quite limited in what you can do, and it can be a lengthy and expensive process. “Our mantra is that by far, the best solution for this problem is to continue to innovate,” McColl proclaims. “So whatever product we may be selling in China today we will continue to keep on improving it and making it better and more costeffective in order to maintain our market share. “So even if there’s the odd copy of our product out there, by the time it’s out in the market in a major way, it’s already old technology or obsolete,” McColl reasons. “It’s all about staying ahead of the competition, even if it happens to be shady competition.” Adds Hibar vice-president Steve Mark: “We are a very lean and versatile company that is able to react very quickly to the customer’s requirements for their machines, which is really one of our fortés. “Moreover, being vertically integrated, with all our engineering functions kept in-house along with all the parts manufacturing, machine controls, testing, etc., gives us complete control over all the variables in the process,” Mark explains. “This has enabled us to develop good relationships with our customers, particularly the contract packagers who may have started out just buying pumps from us, and then would come back with new special packaging requirements that would prompt us to grow our capabilities to a point where we would build complete turnkey packaging lines for some of our clients.” In a similar vein, these extensive capabilities enabled Hibar to evolve into the world’s preeminent manufacturer of battery assembly lines, including the most common alkaline, lithium WWW.CANADIANPACKAGING.COM • 17 14-02-07 1:59 PM AUTOMATE NOW Incorporating a high-speed Flexlink plastic conveyor system (inset), the newly-assembled liquid filling machine undergoes some final testing before shipment to customer. ion, and lead acid batteries used by consumers all over the world to charge up all kinds of consumer electronics and other battery-powered devices and appliances.

Full Package “We continue to sell our pumps to many different packaging machine manufacturers, as well as many leading co-packers who use them to fill the liquids they need to fill for their clients, be it in bottles or sachet bags or whatever other containers. “For anyone ever wondering how the butter gets put inside the microwaveable popcorn bag, for example, I can almost guarantee that it is done using a Hibar-made pump,” says McColl, adding that a healthy packaging industry is “absolutely important” to Hibar’s healthy bottom line over the long term. “That’s why we actively exhibit at the major PACK EXPO shows in the U.S., and why we’re going to the interpack show in Düsseldorf in May—we are very much a part of the global packaging business.” Recently, Hibar hosted a visit from Tony Clement, president of the federal government’s Treasury Board, who announced additional funding towards improving Hibar’s systems infrastructure critical to the company’s manufacturing processes. Says McColl: “I feel that Hibar is very wellprepared for the future, and based on some of the projects and manufacturing improvements that we are working on today we have some tremendous potential to unleash over the next few years. “Our immediate problem is not going to be running out of work,” he sums up, “it’s more likely to be a problem of resource shortages to get that work done. “Hopefully in the near future we’ll be able to get it done with more home-grown Canadian talent than we have been able to up to now.” For More Information: Hibar’s assembly personnel use microscopes and other advanced measuring instrumentation to ensure all the critical finished parts machined at the plant meet their strict tolerances and pre-set specs down to the last micron. 18 • WWW.CANADIANPACKAGING.COM 01PAC-AN-TAB.indd 18 Hibar Systems Limited Festo Inc.

SAFETY IN NUMBERS Niche Ontario dairy processor teams up with leading corrugated producer to raise food product safety up to the global gold standard ANDREW JOSEPH, FEATURES EDITOR PHOTOS BY COLE GARSIDE W hether it’s just small-town mentality or not, just about everyone in the picturesque, tight-knit community of St. Marys, Ont.—located about a two-hour drive west of Toronto—is keenly aware of the economic impact that local businesses have on their individual livelihood, in both boom days and during the more challenging and lean times. And having lived through their fair share of both over the years, this hard-working rural township of 6,655 people—incidentally home to the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame—is in many ways emblematic of the team spirit and “we’re all in it together” fortitude that has helped many local business persevere through numerous economic challenges unleashed by larger outside forces out of their control. And although it’s only been around for just a little over a decade, there is no shortage of this commendable community ethos at the 42,000-squarefoot dairy processing facility operated by Shepherd Gourmet Dairy, home to North America’s largest producer of sheep milk products.

While Cardiff harbors no regrets about turning his back on the banking industry as his main source of income, he relates that it has not been a completely smooth ride for a company that commenced commercial production of feta cheese converted from sheep’s milk with only three full-time employees at a small, 5,000-square-foot facility in nearby Tavistock, about 20 kilometers east of St. Marys. Fresh Start “About 80 per cent of all the sheep’s milk in Canada comes through our doors,” says the company’s founder and president Stew Cardiff, a onetime banking executive who returned to his family farming roots in 2002 to start up a highly successful dairy enterprise to serve a growing and promising niche market for specialty dairy products. “I was actually a full-time banker and part-time sheep farmer at the time,” Cardiff told Canadian Packaging on a recent visit to the St. Marys facility, which specializes in turning sheep, goat and cow milk into Greek-style yogurts, along with a tasty assortment of feta and ricotta cheese blends. “But being a sheep farmer certainly is not a digression for me,” says Cardiff, acknowledging the odd-mix nature of his chosen career pathways. “I’ve been on a farm ever since I was a kid,” he points out. “So it’s an industry and business that I am certainly familiar with,” says Cardiff, citing the company’s hard-earned reputation for high product quality and craftsmanship that continues to expand In the control module at Norampac St. Marys, sales manager Jim Burlingham (left) uses a touchscreen control panel to check production levels of one part of the BHS Corrugator.

As painful as the setback was, Cardiff decided to use it as an opportunity to start afresh—namely by building a brand new 13,000 square foot plant in St. Marys. “I did this while renting space at night in other cheese plants in order to meet orders and keep customers, as I was vertically integrated owning the sheep farms, and had no other market for the sheep’s milk, so I had to keep processing,” reveals Cardiff. “I lived on four hours of sleep per day for months,” he adds, “but the interesting part was that from ground break to completion it was only seven months to the day of the fire. “Luckily for me and my sleep patterns, it was a fast build.” With the new facility, Cardiff and Shepherd Gourmet Dairy gained a larger slice of the marketplace, and soon plans were underway to again increase the facility’s size. In 2012, the company completed a $4.3 million expansion project, more than tripling the size of the factory to its current 42,000 square foot imprint. “Along with the much-needed extra production space, we also purchased new production line equipment,” recalls Cardiff, who reluctantly decided to sell his own f lock of sheep last spring to focus on the dairy manufacturing business. “It was getting to that point where very soon I wouldn’t be able to give the animals the proper attention they would require,” Cardiff explains. “So before that could happen, I had to give up being a sheep farmer, but luckily I still get to work in an industry that caters to them.” CANADIAN PACKAGING • JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2014 14-02-07 1:57 PM FOOD SAFETY To ensure ongoing compliance with its GFSI certification, Shepherd Gourmet Dairy employs a Loma Systems IQ3 metal detection system to make sure no hidden impurities can compomise its high-quality dairy products. Remaining true to his rural Ontario roots, Cardiff makes it a point to use only the sheep milk that he can source from local farmers located within a one-hour radius from the St. Marys processing plant. Says Cardiff: “Quite frankly, a large quantity of the feta cheese that people previously purchased and consumed here in Canada was actually made from powdered milk.” “Our goal is to continue eating into the imported cheese market,” says Cardiff, citing the steady sales growth of the company’s own self-named flagship brand of feta cheese blend, as well as the Krinos range of Greek-style yogurts and cheese blends it co-packs for Krinos Foods, North America’s largest importer, distributor and manufacturer of Greek specialty foods. A new product Shepherd Gourmet Dairy produces for Krinos is the O% All Natural Greek Yogurt made from cow milk with five tasty f lavors, including: Original, Vanilla, Blueberry, Strawberry, and Maple. that because this naturally homogenized milk is made up of smaller fat globules, it is easier on the body to digest than the traditional cow milk. Offering a rich, yet delicate f lavor with a tasty tang, the product is also packed with highly beneficial probiotic cultures that help strengthen the immune system, he adds. “The Krinos Sheep’s Milk Yogurt is glutenfree, rich in magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, zinc and Vitamin B—including B12—with almost twice the amount of calcium and protein in it compared to cow’s milk,” explains Cardiff. For all that, Cardiff quickly points out that simply having a tasty and healthy product counts for nothing if it does not arrive to customers and consumers in the best and safest condition that modern technologies allow—both on the processing and packaging side. To that end, the Shepherd plant underwent an extensive and vigorous process in 2012 to achieve the vaunted Global Standard for Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) certification of the British Retail Consortium (BRC), which is increasingly considered to be the de facto benchmark food safety threshold requirement worldwide. Now being implemented by food manufacturers and their suppliers across North and South America, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, the Far East and Australasia, “The GFSI certification from the BRC is an international mark of excellence for any company that holds one,” Cardiff states. “Even though we already had an excellent safety standards program in place, the BRC showed us that we could be even better,” says Cardiff, calling it a formal validation of the company’s wholehearted commitment to top-level food safety and quality—from upper management right down to the shop-f loor. Zero Tolerance “Just like it says on the packaging, this yogurt is all natural and has zero powders added,” Cardiff asserts. “You can immediately taste the quality in our yogurts.” Nowadays producing a total of 35 different SKUs (stock-keeping units), Shepherd Gourmet Dairy has quickly established itself as a model local corporate citizen in and around St. Marys, Cardiff relates. “We have added 15 more employees to our staff in the past year-and-ahalf,” he says. “It may sound silly, but that’s a 40-percent increase, which is huge for us. “Having 15 more full-time jobs in St. Marys really does help keep our town healthy and viable when you consider the economic trickle-down effect,” says Cardiff, citing product authenticity, unique taste profiles, good-for-you health benefits, and uncompromising product safety as key pillars underpinning his company’s successful track record.

A big part of implementing and maintaining these standards is ensuring that the company’s key supply chain partners also follow the rigid safety protocols at their operations, which is what the dairy’s corrugated packaging supplier Norampac has done in f lying colors at the company’s nearby St. Marys Division plant. Operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Canada’s leading forest products group Cascades Inc., Norampac has spent millions in recent years to upgrade and modernize what is now a state-ofthe-art, 275,000-square-foot facility that converts 100 million square feet per month of single wallequivalent corrugated paperboard into shipping boxes and carriers for a diverse range of CPG (consumer packaged goods) manufacturing industries, including the retail dairy sector. Along with equipping the facility with many bestof-breed converting and boxmaking technologies, Norampac also made the St. Marys plant become the very first corrugated supplier in Canada to earn the advanced SQF2000 Level 2 certification under the GFSI—taking its existing HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points)- accreditation to a whole new level. “Because we store our products in corrugated cartons, we certainly believe that it is very important for Norampac to follow such a stringent food safety protocol as the SQF2000 Level 2,” says Cardiff, relating that for many food producers, corrugated packaging can often be a frustrating Norampac St. Marys is the first Canadian corrugator to obtain the stringent SQF2000 Level 2 certifictation, providing an additional level of food safety assurance for the corrugated cartons manufactured for Shepherd Gourmet Dairy. source of dust, mold and other unwanted particulates or contaminants. Having the SQF2000 Level 2 certification essentially provides a firm assurance that all such issues have been addressed at the Norampac facility well before Shepherd receives its regular shipment of pre-printed corrugated boxes to be filled with product and distributed to customers, who ultimately receive their retail-ready products in impeccably clean condition. “I also appreciate the fact that Norampac has an open-door policy in regards to inspecting their facilities, and their commitment to the various safety programs they have implemented provides us with a great measure of comfort in knowing that our products will always arrive safely to our client destinations,” Cardiff states. “Our customers told us they wanted us to provide them with a globally-recognized program certification, and we always listen to our customers,” asserts Jim Burlingham, sales manager for the Norampac St. Marys operation. Lead Role According to the plant’s general manager Steve Cousins, Norampac has always been a proactive company when it comes to global standards for both manufacturing excellence and safety, citing the fact that Norampac was the Canadian pilot launch company in 1992 for AIB (American Institute of Baking)’s entrance to Canada for international certification for global food safety supply chains. Obtaining the SQF certification at its highest level “provides a level playing field at a higher level,” he notes. “Already being IS0 9001- and IS0 14000-certified, along with the HACCP, made us more than ready and prepared for the task of getting our SFQ2000 Level 2 certification,” Cousins relates. “It actually wasn’t a long, drawn-out process,” says Cousins, recalling that one of the biggest challenges to achieving the certification related to modifying the behavior and work practices of the plant’s employees in terms of personal hygiene, sanitation, and regular deep-cleaning of the entire facility. “They were already doing a great job before we went for the SQF,” he recalls, “but we learned that we needed to take things to another level—and so we did,” he says. “It’s something that Norampac customers like Shepherd Gourmet Dairy really appreciate,” Cousins asserts. Having such a stringent certification in place is especially impressive considering the vast assortment of high-performance production machinery employed throughout the plant f loor to produce topquality product, which includes the state-of-the-art, 37.5-inch, four-color EVOL high-speed printing press—manufactured in Japan by Mitsubishi— purchased in 2011 for about $5.5 million.

In addition to the exceptional high-speed performance and lighting-quick changeovers, Cousins says he is equally impressed with EVOL’s ease-ofmaintenance and reliability that ensure maximum productive machine uptime. “Although the Mitsubishi EVOL is often described as being a ‘plug-and-play’ technology, even that portrayal doesn’t do it sufficient justice,” states Cousins. “We installed the press on July 15, 2011, and we were literally shipping products later that very same day,” he extols. “It has really exceeded all our expectations,” says Cousins, highlighting the machine’s operator-friendly features such as the OT-12 touchscreen interface, manufactured by Valco Melton, and the camerabased vision inspection system from the Vancouver, B.C.-based ClearVision Technologies—a recent addition to the Valco Melton family—to ensure that all adhesive application is performed within the operator-programmed parameters. After the corrugated f lats are completed and stacked by the EVOL, they pass through a Mosca Strapping Systems machine featuring a Siemens Simatic Touch control panel that automatically lets the operator know if the bundles need to be straightened out or otherwise adjusted before the strapping is applied. Although Burlingham says that the Norampac plant was already a cost-efficient producer even before the most recent capital upgrades, the arrival of new production equipment and completion of several machine refurbishments will not only help Norampac keep up with the competition, but actually lead the way well into the future. Some of these recent capital improvements include: • installation of a BHS corrugator; • startup of two high-efficiency steam plants and a new scrap system; • installation of a refurbished 37.5-inch, fourcolor Martin 924 f lexographic press with inline die-cutting; • installation of one refurbished 24-inch, twocolor Saturn Mini f lexographic press; • startup of a second end-of-line shipping line. Although not part of the new capital investment, Burlingham says Norampac still gets great performance from three Ward rotary diecutters and an existing 50-inch, two-color Langston f lexographic press. Combined with the boxmaker’s exceptional customer service record, Cardiff says he is proud to have a supply chain partner of Norampac’s size, stature and prestige among his company’s key packaging suppliers—especially at a time when Shepherd is focusing on extending its geographic market reach. “As we have gotten bigger, we began to rely more on specialized food distributors to get our products into the major centers of Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver,” he says, “and it’s good to know Stretchwrapped tightly to ensure no tipping and to keep dust and dirt out, 80 cartons of product await shipment to customers across Canada. that our products will make it to our customers in prime condition wherever they are.” While reaching big new markets is an exciting development for the company, Cardiff is adamant that it “will not come at the expense of the smaller grocers and specialty shops here and around St. Marys.” As Cardiff points out, “Soon after reopening our business in St. Marys, we opened up our own tiny retail shop—consisting of a small cooler located inside the main doors of our office—where locals can come in and easily obtain any of our products under the Shepherd brand or the Krinos brand. “It’s just a small gesture of thanks to the community for helping support us and continuing to support us,” sums up Cardiff. “I look at it as a service to the community I live in,” he concludes. “Our employees also live in the community, and they and their friends and neighbors all want to be able to buy the great products that we produce locally right where it’s made.” And since success hasn’t spoiled him yet, Cardiff says that during 2014, the company will be investing another $2.3 million in equipment “to continually innovate for our customers.” For More Information: Shepherd Gourmet Dairy utilizes a Domino A300 plus inkjet printer to add smudge-proof lot codes and best-before data to the wet plastic tubs of its feta cheese, as well as to the containers of yogurt and bags of ricotta.

AUTOMATIC RESPONSE Industry insiders weigh in on urgent need for more automation investment to shore up Canada’s bruised and battered manufacturing base BY GEORGE GUIDONI, EDITOR PHOTOS BY COLE GARSIDE I f the science of today really is the technology of tomorrow, as world-renowned physicist and socalled “father of the hydrogen bomb” Edward Teller once famously asserted, tomorrow couldn’t come soon enough for many Canadian manufacturing industries looking to get any kind of a technological competitive edge to stay afloat in the cutthroat global economy, which has been mercilessly harsh to the country’s manufacturing sector so far this decade. With dramatically high-profile plant closures and mass layoffs at venerable food manufacturing stalwarts like Heinz Canada and Kellogg’s Canada seeming only to accelerate the steady and prolonged erosion of Canada’s once-robust manufacturing landscape—especially in the presumably recession-proof food-processing sector—the very notion that the country’s manufacturers can still hold their own in the new world economic order by boosting their productivity through better and wider use of industrial automation technologies has become a highly debatable point. So naturally, there was no shortage of opinion on the subject when Canadian Packaging invited several inf luential industry insiders several weeks ago to the Toronto headquarters of the magazine’s parent company Business Information Group (BIG) for a frank exchange of views on just how much life and fight our domestic CPG (consumer packaged goods) industry still has in it, just as our key trading partner south of the border is finally emerging from its post-Great Recession fog. Just enough to save itself from outright irreversible drift into obsolesce, according to the common consensus emerging from the lively half-day discussion involving representatives from prominent food industry, automation and packaging machinery suppliers, and business academia taking part in the magazine’s second Automate Now Roundtable forum. But only if it does many things right in terms of getting maximum productivity payback from the new-generation industrial automation technologies in which it cannot afford to invest in, they pointedly agreed. “I don’t believe in just bringing people in off the street and making them buttonpushers. If we just put in a robot with a button-pusher, we’re no further ahead.” Mike Estepa, Engineering Manager, Gay Lea Foods Co-operative Limited JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2014 • CANADIAN PACKAGING 01PAC-AN-Roundtable.indd 25 As Bill Gates, no introduction required, so perceptively observed: “The first rule of any technology used in business is that automation applied to an efficient operation will magnify the efficiency. “The second is that automation applied to an inefficient operation will magnify the inefficiency.” Given the billions of dollars spent by Canadian manufacturers to improve their competitiveness since the beginning of the 21st Century, a real solid return on all that investment—at least in terms of healthy employment levels and as share of the country’s GDP (Gross Domestic Product) output—still remains frustratingly elusive, most roundtable participants concurred. Due Payback “The erosion of the manufacturing in Canada has certainly been clearly visible recently, and I don’t think there is any doubt the currency exchange in the past four or five years since the economic turmoil of 2008 has contributed to that,” said Mark Liddell, principal of leading Ontario-based packaging machinery distributor and systems integrator PLAN Automation. “Fortunately we’re now seeing a reset of the odometer on the currency, and if we continue to further see downward pressure on the Canadian dollar, some of the robust growth that we saw in the early part of the 21st Century will return to the primary consumer packaged goods and food manufacturing industries here in Ontario, and hopefully all across Canada. “Losses like Heinz are huge, but even with the occasional dark clouds on the horizon, I don’t think it’s a historic trend,” said Liddell, adding that his company is already engaged in talks regarding possible systems integration projects down the WWW.CANADIANPACKAGING.COM • 25 14-02-07 1:52 PM AUTOMATE NOW “At a certain point we will need to have our governments, federal and regional, to have some kind of a focused industrial policy to help manufacturers make better-informed decisions on how to make all this automation successful.” Luc Richard, Business Development Manager for BU & OEM, Schneider Electric road with some potential new owners said to be contemplating purchasing some of the mothballed Heinz plant’s production machinery and other useful capital assets. “There is some glimmer of optimism about the Leamington plant’s future,” said Liddell, pointing out while some globally-operating multinationals have decided to scale back their manufacturing in Canada, some of their competitors are doing the opposite—citing a massive infusion of capital investment at the Procter & Gamble (P&G) manufacturing operations in Belleville, Ont. “Procter & Gamble has invested about $600 million to expand its manufacturing facility there,” Liddell pointed out, “while Maple Leaf Foods is building a new, multimillion-dollar greenfield meat-processing facility in Hamilton that will house world-class, state-of-the-art automation capabilities for the packaging of food products. “So on the balance, both multinationals and the smaller mid-sized, privately-held companies are still driving growth both in employment and the incorporation of automation technologies,” said Liddell, citing continuous double-digit business growth for PLAN Automation since the company was founded four years ago. “It’s a matter of developing relevancy with manufacturers: both in terms of the manufacturers we represent and the return that they potentially get by making them more efficient through automation,” Liddell stated. “While it’s safe to say that 2014 is probably going to be a relatively slow-growth year for most manufacturing, the projections we hear for 2015, 2016 and 2017, based on the surveys and inquiries that we made, are looking extremely robust,” he enthused.

According to Hallick, the older model of having multinational producers operating massive-sized manufacturing operations in Canada with North American or global production mandates is simply no longer as attractive or feasible for some foreign brand-owners in the new global economy as it may have been in the past. “If you are not the lowest-cost producer, you are at risk—especially if you’re one of the larger plants that are not Canadian-owned but operate as Canadian divisions,” Hallick asserted. Talk is Cheap “When you are a division of a large U.S.-held company, you have to be the cheapest producer, or you’re not on the map anymore,” said Hallick, adding the Heinz plant closure is just one of the more painful manifestations of the emerging ‘new normal’ reality for Canadian manufacturers. “I don’t think we should be looking at this reset as necessarily losing everything,” he said, “but rather as transitioning from huge 700-employee operations to much leaner ones. “That’s the sort of companies the Canadian market needs—fast, f lexible and value-added,” Hallick stressed. This sort of transition will naturally necessitate boosting productivity levels through further deployment of the most leading-edge, automated manufacturing technologies out in the marketplace, stressed Luis Garcia, chair of the Craig Richardson Institute of Food Processing Technology at the Conestoga College Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning in Cambridge, Ont. “The most important point here is that the overall productivity levels in Canadian manufacturing are behind the U.S. productivity levels, and both are very much behind European productivity levels,” Garcia said. “So if a multinational has to choose which of its global operations to close down, it’s going to be here,” said Garcia, noting that he has personally witnessed a fair bit of capital investment being poured into automation technologies by Canadian food manufacturers as a way to counter the adverse effects of the high Canadian currency. “If it takes something as dramatic as a high exchange rate to push companies to invest in more automation, better innovation and, hopefully, increased productivity levels, so be it,” he said. “But even in spite of the plant closings we have seen in the last few years, our food-and-beverage manufacturing industry has grown even during the recession,” Garcia pointed out. “It’s not a double-digit growth industry, but it’s steady growth, which is forecast to continue into the next 20 to 30 years. “Unfortunately, we tend to pay more attention to negative stuff than to the positive factors, but the food industry is doing quite well overall.” This vibrancy in the food sector is well-ref lected in the notably growing shipments and sales of robotic systems to Canadian food producers and distributors, noted Mikael Packalen business unit manager for robot products & automation for leading robotics suppliers ABB Inc. of Brampton, Ont. “We are seeing tremendous growth opportunities in our robotic automation business in the food industry,” said Packalen, adding that the sales of ABB-made robots in Canada have increased in each consecutive year since 2009. “Today we see our sales to food-and-beverage companies account for a bigger portion of our total business than we have ever seen,” Packalen noted. “It may have something to do with a lot of people who were laid off from the automotive business years ago and going into other industrial sectors, where they’re starting to drive the idea that there are better and more efficient ways to do things through automation,” he ref lected. “Whatever the reason, we are really seeing a lot of our growth reaching out into the food-and-beverage business this year.” Added Jack Cerny, vice-president of product management for packaging for leading packaging and printing technologies distributor Unisource Worldwide Inc. of Norcross, Ga.: “Not so long ago, we would sell maybe 700 semi-automatic stretchwrappers a year, which would account for about 60 to 65 per cent of our overall automation equipment program sales. Bigger Share “Today our automation business now accounts for about 70 per cent of what we do in Canada, and our equipment automation group overall was up almost 15 per cent in revenues for 2013 from the year before,” said Cerny, who moved to Canada about three years ago to help boost Unisource’s business here. “We see a lot of equipment manufacturers in the packaging industry expanding more into what we call an ‘integration mode,’ whereby instead of just installing a specific stand-alone automatic or semiautomatic piece of equipment, that equipment is now being integrated with robotics and other automation systems. “We are seeing far more integrated kinds of machine projects than we have ever seen before,” Cerny stated. “Automation is absolutely a necessity for us to create a factory of the future, where you have fewer and fewer people. READERS’ RESPONSE “Globalization has presented great opportunities. With the right technologies and processes, there really is no barrier to having more Canadian success stories.” Mark Liddell, Principal, PLAN Automation JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2014 • CANADIAN PACKAGING 01PAC-AN-Roundtable.indd 27 WWW.CANADIANPACKAGING.COM • 27 14-02-07 1:52 PM AUTOMATE NOW “That’s a huge driver for automation,” said Cerny. “At the end of the day, it is about understanding where companies need to go to be competitive on a global basis in terms of lowest-cost producer— and that’s where automation comes in.” Despite being a relative newcomer to the Canadian marketplace, having spent most of his 30-year career at Unisource’s U.S. operations, it didn’t take Cerny long to identify another one of the industry’s biggest challenges—the shortage of well-trained technical personnel that knows how to make the best use of existing and future automation technologies. “Despite the relatively high unemployment in some parts of Canada, it is becoming harder to get qualified staffing for manufacturers,” he said, “and it will be even more critical as unemployment levels come down some.” Hallick agreed: “One of the biggest frustrations for my plant is that before I even think of purchasing some new technology, I must figure out if I have someone on staff that can understand what this technology is supposed to do and how to support it. “To me, one of the biggest things missing is understanding what the person at the f loor level needs to be successful—not just in how the equipment works and what it is supposed to do, but so that they can be a participant in the problem-solving,” Hallick related. Thinking Minds “I am lucky in that I have hired people that could think through a problem and solve it on the f loor, but it’s that level of expectation on the f loor that really trips up a lot of great automation projects. “An operator can’t just f lip to chapter five, page 123, to find an answer to a problem,” he said. “They should be able understand what the equipment is supposed to do and fix the problem right there and then, but much of the time the only training I see is specific work instruction telling you what steps you have to follow if you’re operating in a perfect world,” Hallick related. “If you have 700 people in your facility, the odds are pretty good that if you have the engineering core and the cross-functional ‘figure-it-all-out’ team of people who will make things run right. “But it’s much different for smaller companies,” Hallick said, “and that may be part of the reason why the smaller companies aren’t implementing as many automation projects as they could be.” Sadly, there is no instant magic cure for Canada’s technology skills deficit, Conestoga College’s Garcia observed. “It is true that Ontario food processors see a big skill gap that prevents them from finding the qualified skilled employees to operate and maintain their equipment. “That’s one of the main reasons our [Craig Richardson] Institute exists: to develop those types of skilled employees,” Garcia said. “But for us, the biggest challenge is not finding employment or co-op program positions for our graduates—that part is easy—but rather having the industry send us their employees for further skill-training. “I think it’s going to take some time because this is not something that has been available to industry before in terms of formal training—especially for the plant-f loor employees—because it’s not part of their HR (human resources) structure or part of their operations budget,” stated Garcia. “There clearly needs to be a stronger under- 28 • WWW.CANADIANPACKAGING.COM 01PAC-AN-Roundtable.indd 28 “If you are not the lowest-cost producer, you are at risk—especially if you’re one of the larger plants that operate as Canadian divisions.” Brian Hallick, Vice-President of Operations, MeMeMe Inc. standing of return-on-investment in training,” he reiterated, “instead of seeing it just as an expense.” This is where the governments could prove to be a handy partner by extending the various funding programs they offer manufacturers to invest in new technologies to help train their personnel on using them, agreed the roundtable participants. In fact, the province of Quebec is already doing just that, according to Luc Richard, business development manager for BU & OEM with leading industrial and process control systems group Schneider Electric. Working out of the company’s Montreal location, Richard said he sees a lot of merit in the recent formation of the Quebec Economic Development Fund, championed by the provincial minister for industrial policy Élaine Zakaïb. “As part of this program, a manufacturer who buys a new machine can get credits from the government to train its people on that machine,” Richard related. “So if you buy a machine and send one of your employees for training on that machine for three weeks, the government will reimburse you for those three weeks,” he explained. “At a certain point we will need to have our governments, federal and regional, to have some kind of a focused industrial policy—something like they have in Germany—to help manufacturers make better-informed decisions on how to make all this automation successful for them,” Richard said. “Be it in Canada, the U.S. or globally,” Cerny agreed, “companies have to invest in people for purposes of talent retention, efficiency, productivity and all those other competitive reasons, because ultimately it is those people who actually engage and execute all this automation. “It is critically important for the manufacturing sector to invest in human capital in order to retain good talented folks,” he added. “It may be expensive, but if you don’t invest you are just going to keep a revolving door.” According to Garcia, “In Europe almost everyone hired to work in a food-processing facility has had some type of formal training, which I think that has a lot to do with productivity. “Having somebody understand how to think in terms of continuous improvement is key to keeping an operation running and driving towards better productivity. “The other factor that plays a big role in Europe, and which we don’t see much here, is the much closer interaction between industry and academia in applied research,” Garcia pointed out. “The larger multinationals that deal with universities here do help fund basic research, but universities are not very quick to respond—typically being involved in long-term, multiyear projects. “But in countries like The Netherlands, they have what they call ‘knowledge institutes,’ which take basic research from the universities, put it into applied research, and turn it into a real-life solution. “It’s a very practical system, with very quick turnaround benefits for the industry, but for one reason or another we are still seeing very little of that here,” he sighed. People Power For Mike Estepa, engineering manager at the Toronto-headquartered dairy products manufacturer Gay Lea Foods Co-operative Limited, proper skill training is an integral part of constructive employee empowerment to enable f loorlevel employees to contribute positively to the company’s bottom-line results. Said Estepa: I don’t believe in just bringing people in off the street and making them button-pushers. “We need people that can back up our automation technologies and work with them to innovate and grow as a team,” he stated. “You really need the people on the f loor to be able to support the decisions made by the higherups, and for the management to make “proper decisions for the business. If we just put in a robot with a button-pusher who’s calling outside for help every time there is a technical problem, then we’re no further ahead,” Estepa said. Added ABB’s Packalen: “Everyone thinks that a robot can do everything and anything, but they can’t. “They are wonderful pieces of technology—with the best meantime between failure of any other piece “We see our sales to food-and-beverage companies account for a bigger portion of our total business than we have ever seen.” Mikael Packalen, Business Unit Manager for Robot Products & Automation, ABB Inc. CANADIAN PACKAGING • JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2014 14-02-07 1:52 PM AUTOMATE NOW “There is a general consensus among many medium-sized companies that the U.S. market is not going to be what it was even 10 years ago, so they are actively looking for new markets outside of North America.” Luis Garcia, Chair, Craig Richardson Institute of Food Processing Technology, Conestoga College Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning of automation on the planet—but you have got to find the right home and the right application for it. “There are some places where robotic automation won’t work, but the technology has reached a point where it has become more and more f lexible in terms of being able to handle more frequent turnovers, changeovers, tool changes, etc. “Today you really can have robotics and automated machines working side-by-side with humans in lots more applications than ever.” Happy Days Offered MeMeMe’s Hallick: “I think it’s a fallacy that a happy employee is a productive employee. “It’s actually the other way around: a productive employee is a happy employee,” he stated. “You can have all the [payroll] benefits in the world, but if the work is terrible, it doesn’t matter what those benefits are—people will look to go elsewhere,” Hallick reasoned. “If you are running a ‘Santa’s workshop’ with 40 people shoulder-to-shoulder on the line, bickering and complaining, it’s a bad day for everybody no matter how many benefits you offer.” Said Hallick: “I’ve been to some smaller companies that put in automation, with a couple of people on the f loor, and the whole place runs quiet, peaceful and smooth, with the people seeming to be super happy about their work.” This actually happens more often in Canada’s far-f lung food industry than many people think, concurred Liddell, citing a Saskatchewan-based coconut oil processor, Bioregional Food And Science, for whom PLAN Automation did some key integration work recently, including installation of high-end product inspection systems. “This small company is located 3,000 miles from the nearest sea port, being based in Saskatoon, and yet they are the world’s largest processor of organic coconut oil,” Liddell marveled. “They buy about 35 per cent of the global supply of coconut oil, exporting their products through Asia, Europe and South America,” he extolled. “Globalization has really presented some great opportunities to Canadian manufacturers,” Liddell asserted, “and with the right technologies and processes, there really is no barrier to having more Canadian success stories.” Garcia agreed: “There is a general consensus among many medium-sized, and even larger-sized companies, that the U.S. market is not going to be what it was even 10 years ago, so they are actively looking for new markets outside of North America. “And there are plenty of markets out there to help them improve their productivity performance,” said Garcia, reiterating the need for further investment in skill training not only at academic institutions, but also as part of ongoing staff development by both product manufacturers and their automation suppliers. Brian Rundle, industry sector manager for process, packaging, printing and converting, Bosch Rexroth Canada Corp., Burlington, Ont., concurred. “As an automation component supplier, one of our big things is training on use of our components, precisely so the staff doesn’t end up being merely button-pushers,” said Rundle. “Some of the automation technologies today are too sophisticated for the simple button-pushers, so a big part of our business as a components supplier is to provide the effective training for these technologies—both to the OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) and their end-user customers.” Said Rundle: “It is no secret that many major fastmoving commercial foods producers like Nestlé, P&G and various leading companies in coffee and bottling industries are as successful as they are precisely because of continuously investing in their people to boost their productivity performance.” Because the technology is developing at such rapid pace, Rundle argued, end-users must ensure that their critical staff gets that training on a continuous basis as well, instead of implemeting it in “It is no secret that many major fastmoving commercial foods producers are as successful as they are precisely because of continuously investing in their people to boost their productivity performance.” Brian Rundle, Industry Sector Manager for Process, Packaging, Printing and Converting, Bosch Rexroth Canada Corp. JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2014 • CANADIAN PACKAGING 01PAC-AN-Roundtable.indd 29 sporadic one-off projects. “We are seeing a lot of electrification—with a lot more things going from pneumatics to electromechanical operations—and it’s a big shift,” Rundle related. “We are also marrying servomotors with drives into one product now, which can be placed closer to the machine with less cabling, less cabinet space—all those things that ultimately save money for the OEMs and consumers. “And we’ll soon be seeing a lot more of washdown-rated servomotors and electronics out there for food industry applications,” said Rundle, pointing out that Bosch Rexroth is also developing new technology-based tools to help both OEMs and end-users to make their transitions to new-generation automation products easier and smoother. “The next thing that is coming for us is the use of smart technology—be it an iPhone, an iPod or some other type of ‘smart device’—to control your components and to provide remote machine control,” said Rundle. “We are already developing apps for smartphones to let users look inside the core of our drives to do self-diagnostics and troubleshooting by phone.” Added Schneider Electric’s Richard: “Linear motion is not new, but we don’t really use it all that much in North America, where we moved really fast from standard automation to robotics. “In North America, it sometimes just seems easier to just put in a robot that can do anything, because it has a six or seven axes. “But sometimes, just one or two axes is really a good fit for liner motion technology,” Richard pointed out. Growing Up “I think there is a lot of opportunity to grow in this market in Canada by improving the productivity of the packaging machine already in place with this technology, rather than robotizing the whole operation,” Richard added. “When you use a servomotor, you also gain a lot of energy efficiency in the end to go with better machine performance,” he added, “and they are cheaper than robots.” But for all the automation systems options available to Canadian manufacturers, none of them will amount to anything bigger than the sum of their parts without an adequately skilled Canadian workforce, roundtable participants agreed. As Liddell aptly summed up: “Looking at the barriers to manufacturing growth in Canada specifically, and in North America as a whole, speaks to a larger societal problem. “Here in North America our universities graduate 50 lawyers for every engineering candidate that we graduate, an astounding number, whereas China graduates 50 engineers for every lawyer they have,” he ref lected. “That speaks to a larger issue: What have we got wrong in the North American model that devalues the professional objectives that don’t speak to immediate wealth generation and greed?” Said Liddell: “There has been a lack of leadership on the government side to recognize that if you are going to continue to have a healthy manufacturing sector, you have to incentify the students—the next generation that’s going to come up and to lead the charge into the future. “And while I don’t pretend know what the answer is, there are many glowing examples from the rest of the globe suggesting why we should change our approach.” WWW.CANADIANPACKAGING.COM • 29 14-02-07 1:52 PM SEW-CanPak11x16.pdf 1 8/14/2013 12:16:47 PM C M Y CM MY CY CMY K FOR MORE INFORMATION CIRCLE 117 SEW.indd 1 14-02-07 2:38 PM 2014 Packaging Machinery Specifications Manual HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL Check the list of packaging machinery headings to discover the heading which addresses your packaging needs.

Continuous carton and product coding Domino's A320i ink jet printer offes a service free printer plus: (1) The operator interface is easy to use-just enter the job and go on to the next task. (2) Simplified display quickly puts the printer in action. (3)Its printhead stays clear of residual ink-you'll see lower ink costs. The A420i's increased ink capability complements the general range of i-Tech inks, with a versatile range of Specialist and Custom ink offerings, such as specialist thermochromic ink for canning. The key to the D-Series flexibility is a smaller i-Tech scan head, connected to the laser tube on a multi-position mount. The head can be rotated through 90 degree steps to allow for many mounting positions, and because it is so much smaller, it can easily fit where bigger lasers cannot. Increased power and speed, combined with an optional IP65-rated version, result in the D620i laser, that is equal to the most demanding applications and environments. RapidScan makes our lasers 20% faster for high-speed applications than other scribing lasers. Domino's i-Tech Ribbon Drive offers 4 ribbon save settings including 'Economy Mode' which allows you to use up to 60% less ribbon per print without affecting print quality. Unlike other thermal transfer coders, the V220i uses intelligent Technology to meet all your general purpose coding needs while keeping your costs as low as possible. Its compact size allows simple retrofit into existing brackets. 650m ribbon rolls for long production runs, with effective length of up to 1625m when Economy Mode is used.

Made in Greece from pure olive oil, the eight-ounce soap bars—marketed here by Kiss My Face LLC, of Gardiner, N.Y.—come in attractive, winter-themed ‘treasure tin’ packaging decorated with sparkling white and silver snowflakes set against a light-green background and bold graphics of ripening olives. The highly decorative reusable tin contains a 230-gram soap bar wrapped inside an 80-percent recycled-content paper overwrap, held together with a festive green ribbon tied around the middle of the green-andwhite paperbox. These festive packaging flourishes help make the act of giving someone a bar of soap feel like a real heartfelt gift with a nice personal touch. At our household, the holiday season often provides an enjoyable opportunity to try out new varieties of cheese products, with the Long Clawson Blue Stilton cheese brand—produced in the English village of Leicestershire—highlighting our home cheese-tasting gatherings with the ‘stinky’ smell of the product and the elegant packaging oozing with quaint, English countryside simplicity. The one 100-gram piece of cheese comes in a miniature, cream-colored ceramic pot—sealed with wax to preserve the product freshness and aroma—and dressed up with lovely cornf lower blue lettering and classy font to create a memorable, upscale presentation that make this brand a crème de la crème item at the appetizer table or in a gift-basket. The new French’s Flavour Infuser 10-minute marinade from Reckitt Benckiser Inc. is a great example of form meeting functionality in a nifty and thoughtful package design. The singleuse 103-ml tube is outfitted with a narrow elongated tip that is intended to actually pierce the meat and dispense the marinade from the inside—thereby saving a whole lot of time from the traditional marinating process of coating and soaking the meat from the outside. The tip’s plastic overcap not only helps to keep the tip impeccably clean, but also provides a steady base for helping keep the tube in a perfectly upright position in the cupboard or fridge, with the plastic overcap keeping it right up to their point of use. Offered in four tantalizing f lavors, each French’s Flavour Infuser tube packs enough marinade to enhance the f lavor and texture of three to four pounds of whatever fresh meat you fancy with minimal fuss or mess. For as long as I can remember, powdered f lour always came in square-bottomed upright paper bags regardless of size—from one kilo right up to 10-kg industrial baking-sized bulk bags—that would inevitably leave powdery spills behind no matter how carefully you handled or stored them. Hence, it’s great to see Smucker Foods of Canada Corp. break out of the old mold with ADVERTISERS’ INDEX For more information on Classified Advertising please contact: 416-510-5198 BEYOND THE CUTTING EDGE · POUCHES · SHRINK BAGS · THERMOFORMING FILM · TRAY LIDDING FILM · SKIN FILM · Print IT Bag IT Form IT Wrap IT Seal IT Shrink IT Preserve IT Sell IT XtraPlast.com [email protected] • 877-435-4555 68 • WWW.CANADIANPACKAGING.COM 01PAC-CHK-TAB.indd 68 R.S.

Photos by Shannon Kaupp CHECKOUT SHANNON KAUPP Drinking plain water may be healthy, but it does get fairly dull and boring in a hurry. And while there are many drink mixes and f lavorings out there to make hydration a more tasty consumer experience, I am a big fan of the so-called liquid water enhancers— highly-concentrated beverage mixes that change water into a f lavorful refreshment just by squeezing out a couple of drops and giving the water a good shake. With the inherent on-the-go portability of these small containers making them easy to carry in one’s purse, gym bag or pocket, it’s no wonder these concentrates have become such a fast-growing product category so rapidly. My current personal favorite is the Crystal Light Liquid Drink Mix from Kraft Canada Inc., which is packaged in a sleek, slender 48-ml BNA (bisphenol A)-free plastic f lip-top container with a lipped lid for easy opening. Securely shrinkwrapped with a full-bodied, tamper-evident label sleeve, the container is nestled in decorative, intricately diecut, 3D paperbox that holds it firmly upright on the shelf or lets it hang out on retail display hooks via a peg-hole near the top.
