Hertzler Systems will host a one hour web seminar for business leaders in the Foods Industry on October 6, 2009. This information-packed seminar will share stories and insights from the company’s more than 25 years of experience of helping food processors and food packagers use knowledge to increase profits and efficiency, and improve regulatory compliance.

Goshen, IN, September 1, 2009 – Hertzler Systems Inc., a leading provider of SPC Software, KPI Software, and Operational Intelligence software, announced today that it will host a free web seminar for business leaders in the Food and Food Packaging industries. Scheduled for 1PM EDT on Tuesday, October 6, the seminar is titled “Managing for Profits: How best-in-class food processing companies drive profits, increase efficiency, and reduce risk”.

The seminar will be led by Tom Albrecht, Vice President of Business Development for Hertzler. Albrecht has been with the company for nearly 20 years. In his role he has helped dozens of companies increase efficiency, improve quality, and reduce costs. Tom brings specific, significant personal experience working with Hormel Foods, Del Monte, Consolidated Biscuit, McCormick Foods, Cargill Cattle Feeders, Darden Restaurants, and Pactiv Corporation.

According to Albrecht, the seminar comes at a time of unprecedented change in the Foods industry: “Business leaders in the Food and Food Packaging industries are getting squeezed from all sides,” he said. “The global recession has set back consumers’ buying power at the same time that material costs have risen at an unprecedented level. Not only that, but compliance issues have come to the front burner thanks to a tougher, more active regulatory environment.”

According to Evan Miller, President of Hertzler Systems, the one-hour presentation will focus on value-added techniques to reduce waste, increase throughput, and ensure compliance. “Tom has great experience and insight from working with a wide range of food processing clients,” he said. “He has compelling stories to share about how customers use knowledge to increase profits and efficiency, and improve regulatory compliance.”

The seminar is free, but registration is required. Please reserve your seat by visiting http://video.webcasts.com/events/pmny001/viewer/index.jsp?eventid=32027
