FBA Welcomes Kammerer As New Manager Of Technical Services Fibre Box Association (FBA) announced that it will wel- come a new Manager of Technical Services on November 1, 2021. Chase Kammerer will join Mary Alice Drain, Direc- tor of Technical Services. Kammerer will manage the FBA standing technical committees (Technical, Environmental, and Health & Safety) by administering agendas, minutes, and other meeting concerns. He’ll also work with the com- mittees to ensure that the technical publications in our FBA store are current. Beginning late last year, FBA committees meet virtually every six to eight weeks instead of twice a year in person. The boosted schedule has increased each of the commit- tee’s capability to stay better connected and advanced their project slate. The committees have been tackling more of their goals and it will be beneficial to have another technical staff member to facilitate additional work. The Technical Committee has already completed two research projects in 2019 and 2020 on environmental fac- tors and box design. A 2021 project funded by the ICPF on score profiles and their effect on BCT, has just begun. In addition, ICPF has approved a 2022 project related to pal- let overhang. The research projects have also sparked re- newed interest from university research labs on additional corrugated packaging research ideas.
