Pacteon Group, a company specialising in end-of-line packaging automation solutions, has appointed Greg Masingill as its new CEO.

Masingill will take over from Mike Odom, who will continue to serve as a strategic advisor to the company.

Masingill has been a part of the Pacteon family since 2018, when he joined Schneider Packaging Equipment Company, a fully owned subsidiary of Pacteon, as executive vice-president and an early investor.

Before joining Schneider in 2018, Masingill served as president of Seneca Corporation, which designs and manufactures specialised computer hardware and software solutions, catering to various end markets across multiple regions.

Masingill said: “I am excited to assume the CEO role at Pacteon. The company’s commitment to innovation and growth, coupled with its passionate culture will continue to position it well for success.

“I look forward to working alongside this talented team to build upon our strong foundation and lead us into a future of significant growth.”

With this new leadership in place, Pacteon aims to further enhance its commercial and operational activities.

Pacteon board chair Monty Yort said: “The Pacteon board thanks Mike Odom for his contribution to the company and looks forward to him staying on as strategic advisor.

“For the next phase of Pacteon’s development we are delighted to welcome Greg Masingill back to the company.

“He is an experienced manager, strategic leader, and knows the Pacteon team well. We expect Greg to be a significant contributor to the company’s further growth.”
