Berry Plastics Group Inc. is expanding the size of its board, making room for the appointment of a former Bemis Co. Inc. official.
Scott Ullem becomes the newest member of Berry Plastics' board after the Evansville, Ind.-based company increased its board size from nine to 10.
Ullem is a former chief financial officer Bemis, a Neenah, Wis.-based packaging company, and now holds the same position for Edwards Lifesciences Corp. of Irvine, Calif., a heart valve and blood flow monitoring company.
“Scott's career and industry experience will further strengthen our Board's existing business acumen, while bringing additional insights and perspectives on the industries and markets we serve,” Berry Plastics CEO Jon Rich said in a statement.
