“ProcessTechnologyXchange connected us with an automation company we may not have found otherwise, certainly not as efficiently. Through that partnership, we were able to work together to develop a solution for a challenging issue. It was time well spent.”

WHY PTX | WHO ATTENDS | HOW IT WORKS | CASE STUDIES

“Thanks for your help and support over the years. It has been a pleasure to work with you. PTX has been an integral component of our growth over the last five years. I have recommended that we continue this partnership after my retirement.”

- Ralph Hernandez, Former Vice President, Sales and Marketing, Triangle Package Machinery Company

 

Processors with a commitment to growth and innovation need high-level partnerships with solution providers who can help them advance their operations.


At PTX, you’ll:

+ Create strategic partnerships that position you to turn challenges into opportunities.

+ Experience something you’ll get nowhere else: focused, strategic business discussions between senior leaders. No interruptions.

+ Meet other forward-thinking processors.

 
 

PTX saves me literally weeks and months of back and forth communications with suppliers.  By meeting with the senior management teams of these companies, it accelerates the entire process.” 

Matt Giroux, Corporate Project Manager for Butterball, LLC

PTX CONNECTS industry-leading SOLUTION PROVIDERS WITH top FOOD & BEVERAGE PROCESSORS LIKE THESE.

 
 
 
 

We do the legwork so that you can focus on real conversations & results.


Detailed Preparation

Our research process identifies each individual processors’ challenges and interests. Then we find suppliers whose products/services align with the processors’ need and match the two for onsite PTX meetings.

Pre-PTX Communication

Matched processors & suppliers connect prior to PTX to make introductions & set a mutually-beneficial meeting agenda. This allows the suppliers to cater each meeting specifically to your operation.

Real Discussions

PTX meetings are one-on-one with high-level executives– the decision makers. By taking out the middle man, you can accomplish real business onsite & build meaningful strategic partnerships.

Follow-Up

We provide processors & suppliers with personalized feedback from each meeting to help with follow-up of any action items discussed on-site, so partnerships continue to develop even after PTX.

 
 
 
 

“For Matrix to meet with the high-level personnel for the processors is very important. To have high level conversations to talk about their capital budgets and plans, whether for this year, next, or those coming years is very important for us, to understand where they are going and if Matrix can be a part of that solution.”

Dave Blaida, Executive Vice President for Matrix Technologies
