EAST PROVIDENCE – Precision fluid-dispensing system manufacturer Nordson EFD had its Film-Pak cartridge for packaging and dispensing two-part fluids nominated for 2018 Product of the Year by Assembly Magazine, the company said in a press release.
Nordson EFD, based in East Providence, was one of 12 companies to have products nominated by the magazine and was the only company with a presence in Rhode Island and Bristol County, Mass., to be nominated.
A sustainable product, seven cartridges replace one standard rigid cartridge in landfills, the company said.
“It’s an honor just to be nominated,” said Stephen Suchanek, global 2K product line manager for Nordson EFD. “Film-Pak … provides the same quality mix performance as standard cartridges, but … reduces packaging waste volume by more than 85 percent,” adding only the product lid is thrown out.
A global company founded in 1963, EFD was acquired by the Nordson Corp. of Westlake, Ohio, in 2000.
