Former Sealed Air China President Li Xin Joins
IDC Team Based in Shanghai
In anticipation of scaling up its business in China in 2014,
International Dispensing Corporation (IDC) (IDND) announced that Li
Xin, President of Sealed Air China from 2010 to 2013, has become
the newest member of its Industry Advisory Board. Li joins Bill
Hickey (former CEO of Sealed Air), Markus Brettschneider (CEO
FrieslandCampina Germany), and Aaron Brody, Ph.D. (Packaging
Strategies “Packaging Guru of the Century”).
Based in Shanghai, China, Li will also play an active role
overseeing and developing IDC’s business in the region with both
existing and new customers.
A Chinese national experienced in market entry strategy, sales
and profit growth, food safety, and sustainability, Li Xin (48) has
been based in Shanghai since 2004 with Sealed Air Corporation, a US
Fortune 500 Company. During his tenure, he managed the Cryovac food
packaging business units for the Asia region and built a large
greenfield investment in Shanghai before progressing to the
Presidency of Sealed Air China. For thirteen years prior to his
China assignment, Li held sales, marketing, and sales management
responsibilities for Sealed Air in the US and Canada.
“With a China presence about to become very important for us,
IDC is fortunate to have an executive of Li Xin’s caliber driving
our business in the region,” said Greg Abbott, IDC’s Chairman and
CEO. “Li is a proven winner with a solid track record of
accomplishment both in Asia and the West. Our customers know and
respect him at the highest levels. We are confident that Li’s
experience, reputation, and local presence will significantly
facilitate IDC’s business development in China.”
“I have great respect for IDC’s management and its vision, and
believe that its technologies are big ideas,” said Li Xin. “The
Answer® tap is an ideal innovation for China and other Asian
countries that lack refrigeration infrastructure. The IDC/Cryovac
SpeedFlex™ filler provides another significant competitive
advantage. Together they represent a major advance in being able to
deliver low-cost, low-environmental-impact foodservice packaging. I
am excited about being a part of IDC’s team and about all that we
can accomplish in the region.”
Li has been active with food and beverage organizations in China
and serves as executive director of the China Meat Association and
Vice Chairman of the American Chamber of Commerce Shanghai Food,
Agriculture & Beverage Committee. He attended Shandong
University in China, has a BA in Economics from the University of
Regina in Canada and an MBA from Golden Gate University in San
Francisco.
