Teaching Packaging in China

摘要

For the past several years I have been teaching professional English for the printing industry at the University of Wuhan, China. I had delivered lectures there while I was president of the NPES, The Association for Suppliers of Printing, Publishing and Converting Technologies. After retirement, I was asked if I would teach the subject for a 3-month period to which I readily agreed. I was well prepared because, for 30 years, I had served as the CEO of the association which had offices in Tokyo, Shanghai, New Delhi, Sao Paulo, and Moscow, and I frequently made presentations about the state of the U.S. printing industry. My entire working life was in the printing industry, one way or another. Of course, printing and packaging are closely related so I was also involved in developments of packaging as they related to the printing aspect of the process.
