In its effort to focus on engineered printing solutions, Pad Print Machinery of Vermont (PPMOV), East Dorset, VT, added four members to its engineering team and doubled its machine-assembly squad. “This expansion brings our engineering and machine-assembly team to a full one-third of our staff,” says Julian Joffe, president of PPMOV. “One of our major areas of expertise is customizing automation systems for our clients, and we have been fortunate to find the quality of engineering talent we required to fulfill our needs…. This broadening of engineering expertise allows us to respond quickly to our customer’s needs and be flexible to changing market dynamics. Especially with US-based companies resourcing back home, efficiency through automation is the name of the game.”
Paul Poulin, vice president of engineering, says, “We now have a greater representation in the areas of CAD modeling and design, automation design, new-machine conceptualization and execution, automation process control engineering, and Microsoft systems software programming.”
