TLMI forms Global Committee

TLMI is in the process of creating a new committee that will focus on globalization, with a special emphasis on expanding the association's presence in Mexico, Central and South America. The new TLMI Global Committee will be chaired by Avery Dennison Fasson Roll NA’s vice president and general manager, John Wurzburger, and committee members will all have in-depth experience throughout the Latin American marketplace.

TLMI’s goal in the formation of the Global Committee is to bring together a key group of converter and supplier members whose directive is twofold: to report back to TLMI on those globalization issues impacting TLMI members in the current marketplace; and to recruit new TLMI members across Latin America to expand TLMI’s presence throughout the region and to enhance membership opportunities for TLMI’s existing member base.

As global economies like the United States and the European Union continue
to struggle with GDP growth amongst uncertainty; emerging markets still push forward as their economies develop and middle class-consuming populations expand. The TLMI Global Committee will provide a bridge between the North American label converting industry and emerging markets south of the border.

Committee chair John Wurzburger commented: ‘There’s a real opportunity for TLMI in moving into these key markets. The association’s converter and supplier members will
benefit from forming relationships with their progressive Latin American counterparts and by joining TLMI, Latin American companies will be able to deliver real value to their own companies.

‘Borders are shrinking and globalization continues to be a central issue. TLMI’s commitment to expanding into Latin America demonstrates the association’s continuing commitment to its converter and supplier members, and to the greater narrow web industry.’
