    Jeff Falash

    Jeff Falash, research and development manager for Neenah, Wis.-based NERCON, joins Dairy Foods for Episode 49 of the “Let’s Talk Dairy” podcast to discuss packaging trends.

    Falash began his career at Nercon 37 years ago. He started in assembly on the plant floor, spent time as part of its field services group, and eventually moved into his current role as R&D and service manager. 

    Falash spends most of his days solving problems and consulting with NERCON’s applications team to solve customer issues as well as developing new solutions that will help customers achieve their production goals more efficiently. 

    During this podcast, Falash discusses the following:

    1. How NERCON’s approach to the dairy market changed in the past five to 10 years. What new trends has he seen?
    2. What is important for dairy manufacturers to consider when evaluating their needs for conveyor systems as part of their packaging (and production) lines.
    3. How conveyor systems change in the future. What new trends are expected down the road?
