Schlager will lead the sales and marketing efforts of the three Massman Companies Liquid Filling Business Units: Ideal Pase – Madison, WI and DTM – Hingham, MA. Consolidating the sales and marketing activities and customer-facing programs across all three liquid filling business units will further enhance Massman’s strategy of “automating liquid filling packaging lines” for the benefit of its customers.

Integrating the expertise, experience and production power of its business units allows the Massman Companies to expand their ability to meet growing customer needs for complete packaging line solutions.

The Massman Companies began with the founding of Massman Automation and Design in 1978. In the years since, acquisitions have created the Massman Companies, a group of machinery and technology companies devoted to the principle of “Streamlining Production Through Automation.” That growth will continue as new technologies and packaging systems are added and the integration of production line capabilities continues for the benefit of Massman’s customers.
