By nature, I’m an inquisitive person who loves solving problems. I relish the investigative process exploring options and the satisfaction when a creative solution is found. While some people may think the packaging industry isn’t a sector for innovation, nothing is further from the truth. With sustainability initiatives and online shopping exploding, the opportunities for innovation are extensive.From simple beginnings, I’ve steered the company through numerous milestones with a focus on innovation, sustainability and customer satisfaction. Today, Metropak is the leader in eco-friendly solutions for ecommerce, retail, gift and promotional packaging. The largest online companies and leading retail brands put their trust in us to design eco-friendly packaging that provides an exceptional experience for their customers.I love the packaging business!Few people are as passionate or motivated as I am to develop innovative solutions that solve the sustainable and environmental friendly demands of our customers. When government mandates in the various states banned plastic grocery bags, we delivered RagBags. This patented solution, made from biodegradable material is re-usable and provides a “second life” as a super absorbent rag.We created another innovative product called OceanPoly bags that addresses the waste of plastic flowing into oceans. Certified by SCS, the premier organization for post consumer recycled certification, it's made from the reclaimed and recovered plastic waste. We help solve a global environmental issue and deliver new sustainable packaging solutions to our customers.With our online business booming, we’ve created another green innovation called ReThinkPoly. These plastic bags and poly mailers use 90% post consumer recycled materialAlong with eco-friendly initiatives, Metropak is known for its outstanding design capabilities. From creative to process fulfilment, my team approaches our customer not as a supplier, but as a packaging design and execution partner. From simple poly mailers to elegant gift packaging designs, we bring decades of experience and a passion to maximize the packaging experience.Packaging is the first thing people experience when they receive a product. I’ll never stop thinking about how to make the experience rewarding for consumers, efficient for our customers and friendly for the environment.
