A New Vice Chairman

The EPS Packaging Group has appointed Tony Pruchniewicz, Site Manager at LINPAC Moulded Foams in Scunthorpe as its new Vice Chairman. Tony will take over from Gavin Birnie, as Chairman on 7 June 2006.

“I am pleased and honoured by this appointment,” says Tony. “The EPS Packaging Group has done a lot of good work for our industry over the years and I’m looking forward to continuing the good work.

“In particular, I am sure we will continue to strengthen our links with young people through education. The Group has sent the ‘Exceptional Packaging Solution’ DVD to 225 specialist science colleges in England and Wales and to 450 secondary schools in Scotland. Currently, we are looking at other ways to provide schools with useful educational tools about EPS and the properties that make it such an outstanding packaging material.

“School students are the designers and buyers of the future and teaching them about expanded polystyrene is a great way to support our industry in the future.”
Tony is positive about the outlook for expanded polystyrene: “EPS is a widely-used, cost effective packaging material that provides customers with an excellent performance they can rely on. Its protective and insulating properties are superb and I am enjoying working with the EPS Packaging Group to promote the material and to maintain its strong position as a popular packaging material.”
