This year, OpX made significant strides in promoting growth, collaboration, and making a meaningful impact within the CPG and OEM industry.
The OpX collaborators revamped several work products, including "One Voice for Hygienic Equipment Design for Low-Moisture Foods," and “Remote Equipment Access”. Additionally, there was five OpX work products and infographics translated into Spanish, which enhances our ability to connect with and impact the Spanish-speaking community.
In June, OpX attended EXPO PACK Mexico, where we gained valuable insights from Carlos Quintero, Director of Industry Services for PMMI.
Carlos Quintero stated, "EXPO PACK Mexico City was an excellent platform to showcase the exceptional work of the OpX Leadership Network. Over the past 13 years, we’ve developed more than 20 work products that are transforming industry practices. Presenting at VISION 2030 allowed us to connect with potential new OpX Council members from Latin America, inspiring interest in joining this very selective and impactful network. It was truly another powerful show to remember!”
In August, the OpX Executive Council met in Lexington, Kentucky. During this meeting, the council enjoyed a private tour of Schneider Electric's smart factory, which sparked open discussions and collaborations. Additionally, members toured the Buffalo Trace Distillery and participated in a special tasting of their famous bourbon whiskey.
In November, the OpX Executive Council convened in Chicago, Illinois, at PACK EXPO International. This event provided an opportunity for members to reflect on the successes of the year, discuss task force updates, and create an environment conducive to open discussion and building connections.
We are grateful to everyone who contributed to our accomplishments in 2024 and look forward to the growth and development that 2025 will bring!
