After having spent nearly 25 years working at PETplanet Insider, I am beginning to think about the future 10 years from now. And I do have to confess that I would like nothing more than to travel the world with Editourmobil and visit all you lovely readers! In order to ensure that the PET industry’s information pool remains in safe family hands, the time has come to gradually involve the next generation. Processors such as Alpla and Bericap are showing the way by bringing in the third generation. And so I am delighted to report that, after two years of working behind the scenes with us, my daughter, Miriam Trotter, will be joining our editorial team. She is moving from her job as a copywriter in the private sector and will initially be in charge of new media technologies. She has gained her first experiences in the industry already as a baby when vising the K fair in Düsseldorf. She was even awarded the youngest visitor of the event. A title she wears with pride to this day. Miriam became more involved in the subject at the VDMA in Kolkata, India. In supermarkets, she looks at injection points and neck rings on beverage bottles first, which tells her more about the quality than reading a list of ingredients on labels. Anyone wanting to meet her in person should call in at Brau Breviale where she will continue a trade fair career that once began in Düsseldorf and which has carried on with her involvement in several Drinktec events. Greetings from the family! Yours Alexander Büchler PS For the sake of completeness, my other daughter, Emma, was in charge of our address marketing, and my son, Valentin, is heavily involved in our brewery operations. Both are currently working with companies operating in diff erent fi elds along the PET value chain.
