MMC has recently announced the the firm will soon be enjoying having local representation in Brazil.  Mr. Gadi Melamed Barqui has been with MMC since 2008 and with the company's vast portfolio in post-molding automation equipment in hand, now is the perfect time for Gadi to take charge of MMC's interests in the burgeoning South American market and offer services closer to customers.

"We have no doubt that he’ll deliver an exciting new chapter in MMC’s Business Development," said Mr. Philippe McNally, President & Owner of MMC Packaging Equipment.

Post-molding automation industry for cap manufacturers is definitely a niche market with a small circle of customers, and competition can be fierce. "We are glad to have established great relationships and loyal partnerships throughout the years and this move will strengthen our ties with customers even more," said Gadi Barqui.  "I’m highly motivated and up for this new challenge," added MMC’s Sales Director, also representing the Mexican market as well as acting as a liaison with the Iberian Peninsula.

According to the 2013 Freedonia Report, the demand for caps and closures in Brazil totalled $1.1 billion in 2011, representing 55% of the aggregate market for Central and South America. MMC began its efforts in this territory in 2005.
