“We are excited to have Art on our team,” said Greg Ashbeck, Director of Operations at ADCO. “Art embraces Lean manufacturing practices and will be our guide and trailblazer to help move us even further forward in this area.”
The Sanger, California Company manufactures high-end packaging machinery, including horizontal and vertical end load cartoners, top load cartoners and closers, sleevers, tray formers, and robotic case packers.
