This is what you will learn on today’s Machinery Minutes podcast with Ron Shinn, in which we round up three impactful stories from the past week:  Can companies continue to make packaging profitably while heading off regulations that could put plastics on the chopping block?  Russ LaBelle, the well-known founder of Wilmington Machinery, died at the age of 86. He developed specialized plastic machinery solutions that have since been adopted by companies around the world.  Good news for injection molding machinery builders in third-quarter sales totals. Not so much for extrusion machinery manufacturers.
