Solving packaging problems is what has made Steve successful
After achieving a number of sales honors, the Georgia-Pacific Corporation, later to become Packaging Corporation of America, asked Steve to join them in developing not only brown box sales, but also value-added packaging. This included retail packaging and displays. Again Steve achieved many sales honors.
Steve’s experience in retail packaging led him to Smurfit-Stone and later with Buckeye Boxes, Inc., where he developed his patent for the poster industry and became a preferred packaging consultant for Ohio automotive manufacturers. He continues to help companies solve packaging problems, reduce costs, and increase packing efficiencies.
