PAMC is proud to announce our 20th year serving the Wine, Food and Beverage, and Life Sciences industries.
Our Story
Andy Malcolm always knew he wanted to own his own company. He just didn’t know what type of business it would be. After graduating from Cornell University with a Degree in Mechanical Engineering thanks to a Navy ROTC Scholarship, Andy entered the US Navy and was stationed aboard the USS Barbour County. It was here Andy developed his ability to coordinate and motivate diverse personnel to complete critical projects.
As do so many in the industry, Andy fell into packaging quite unexpectedly. Working as a Maintenance Supervisor at Owens-Illinois Glass Company, he gained practical, real-world experience troubleshooting and maintaining production and packaging equipment along with industrial facilities.
Up next for Andy was a transition to the wine industry as the Production Engineer for Sutter Home Winery, where he learned the ins and outs of all aspects of winery operations, from crushing, through the cellar to bottling. Andy is proud of his achievements here – in particular, his involvement in executing an award-winning redesign of a full line of wine packaging. While he was at it, Andy earned his MBA at St. Mary’s College of California, further convincing the entrepreneur in him that he should start his own business. Consulting seemed like a viable option.
An opportunity to be the Manager of Packaging Technology for Eichleay Engineers allowed Andy to learn the consulting business and formalize his approach to managing engineering and capital equipment projects. Andy credits Eichleay with his exposure to and subsequent involvement in the Life Sciences industry.
Ultimately, in 1999 Andy struck out on his own starting P. Andrew Malcolm Consulting (PAMC) and for the last 20 years has been an independent consultant working on a wide variety of winery, life science, and food and beverage projects.
Andy has enjoyed the diversity of the projects and feels it has benefitted him by strengthening his ability to work with a broad range of clients and packaging projects.
As Andy says, “There isn’t much I haven’t seen or can’t figure out.”
As we celebrate our 20 years in business, we would like to thank our clients for their loyalty and confidence in our work. We especially appreciate the network of friends and peers who have supported us and made the journey so enjoyable. Although it is supposed to be work, Andy feels that we should enjoy what we do and the camaraderie of the people with whom we do it.
