PMMI Appoints Patty Andersen as First Female Board Chair

PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Printing Technologies, has appointed Delkor Systems’ Patty Andersen as the 2023 chairperson of the Board. The move is significant since this is the first time a woman has held the position in the association’s history. 
 
Patty served as a co-owner and vice president of human resources and after market services at Delkor Systems which made her a great fit for the chairperson position at PMMI. 

“Patty has provided PMMI with valuable guidance as a leader and a Board member. We are excited as she takes on a larger role in the strategic direction of PMMI as our first female chair,” said Jim Pittas, president and CEO, PMMI. “Her more than 20 years of packaging industry experience coupled with her ability to inspire others to work together and think creatively to solve problems, makes her an incredible asset to the association.”
 
Patty has been in several leadership positions within PMMI, as she started her journey with the association in 2010 as part of the Education & Workforce Development Committee. She later became the chairperson of the Education & Workforce Development Committee in 2015. Patty has also served as a member and chair of the Employee Development Committee, the vice chair and chair of the Strategic Planning Committee. She was a founding member of the Packaging and Processing Women’s Leadership Network. 
 
Patty has earlier assisted the automation and robotics leadership councils of several local colleges, and her experience in capital equipment manufacturing and organizational needs analysis further bolster her wide range of qualifications for the role.
