Flexible-packaging technology plays a key role in optimizing produce shelf life and in the overall quality of the food product while reducing spoilage in the supply chain.

Preco, LLC is reporting solid growth in equipment sales for the flexible packaging market in the first half of 2014.

For over 30 years, Preco has provided the world's metalworking industry with the most complete selection of laser-based contract manufacturing services and systems, including laser welding, cladding and heat treating.

Partnering with an equipment supplier that can provide a multitude of laser scoring and perforating system options is a critical consideration.

Preco has built its reputation on servicing customers with advanced laser and die cutting technologies as well as contract services.

Two of Preco’s most important core technologies are lasers and galvanometer scanheads.

Last fall, Jason Thoen came back to campus in order to talk to the Advanced Lab class about the usefulness of the skills he learned in the class and also to give some job seeking advice.
