Plascon CEO David Peterson noted that the agreement is beneficial to both organizations. “Plascon Packaging has been a leader in flexible packaging for years through our partnership with Cryovac. With this new D C Norris agreement, we can offer complete Cook-Chill systems from the processing equipment to the packaging supplies,” said Peterson. “DCN is known for producing high-quality equipment for the foodservice and food processing industries around the world, but did not have a strong presence in the US market. We are proud to have been chosen as their partner in North America.”

DCN General Manager Ian Jones commented, “As soon as we met with Plascon Packaging, we knew that they were the right partner to increase DCN’s market penetration in the United States. They share our enthusiasm, are customer focused and proactive in their approach to the market. We are confident the two companies will form a close alliance that will lead to continued success in the North American market for both parties”.

Both organizations are focused on customer satisfaction, involving customers at every stage of manufacture, from initial consultation through to final installation. Using state-of-the-art 3D modeling design software, D C Norris creates on-screen simulation of a new plant, enabling a walk through before it is even built.
