In response to continued growth in the Printing, Coating & Laminating (PCL) division at Paper Converting Machine Company (PCMC), global sales director Mark Gillis has announced the promotions of Andy Gillis and Mike Reedy to product development managers.

In their new roles, Gillis will be responsible for PCMC’s Mid & Narrow Web PCL product lines, while Reedy will focus on Wide Web PCL machinery for applications 40 inches and wider.

‘These individuals have been selected because of their leadership experience and capabilities, as well as their demonstrated ability to contribute to the company’s success in meaningful ways,’ said Mark Gillis, who recently assumed expanded responsibility as global sales director for both the PCL and Nonwovens Converting divisions. ‘The passion and energy Andy and Mike bring to their work is commendable.’
