We are able to provide innovative packaging solutions and achieve our Brand Promises because of our outstanding people. Meet a few members of the Industrial Packaging team below!
Dave has played a critical role in supporting the company’s transition to second shift, consistently going above and beyond over the past three months to ensure operational success and a positive work environment.
He has demonstrated all three core values through his actions — being a true team player by working 10–12-hour shifts to support both first and second shift without complaint, even stating, “I’ll do whatever the company needs.”
He has embraced continuous improvement by helping move experienced first shift employees to second shift to train new team members, while also partnering with shift leads and Sneyder to improve production results.
Dave treats people with respect in meaningful, everyday ways—helping
train new leads, assisting with breaks, keeping work areas organized, studying schedules to learn new employees’
names, and finding small ways to make others’ jobs easier.
His efforts have ensured second shift has the support needed to meet customer production demands, reinforcing our brand promise and contributing to Industrial Packaging being a great place to work.
Karla is the unsung hero and an overlooked, but not underappreciated team member in the role she plays here.
She has to have a consistently driven personality while dealing with many different personalities and levels within the organization to ensure Food and Facility Safety and Compliance. She does this without a complaint and always with a smile and sense of humor.
She is the epitome of our Purpose "Protecting People, Products and Brands throughout the supply chain." She represents IP well internally and externally and has a passion second to none for her role and its importance!
Sindy is an incredible team player who adheres to our Core Values, Purpose and Promise every day.
She is one of the main drivers behind our Warehouse organizational improvements and for sustaining the results. She never settles for what we did yesterday always looking for feedback and ways to improve. She sets a great example not only for her team members but for her colleagues. She is an asset to IP and will be a critical cog in our growth wheel moving forward.
Sindy is a great co-worker and she has a very positive attitude.
Mercedes is one of our A players on the floor. She embraces change, owns new projects and makes it work. She is a perfectionist, proactive and sharp all the time. Mercedes doesn’t complain and stays late to set up the lines for 2nd shift to
be sure they succeed. She’s a problem solver and a reason why Dave raises the goals on Bluestar, Frost, Overlappers, Delta, etc.
She crushes the numbers in production and is mindful of compliance standards and the people she works with.
Mercedes is one of the most respectful and humble people here. She taught me how to read the overlapper diagrams when I first started, with the best attitude, intention, and patience. She is one of the most loyal, hard worker I have met here. She deserves to win this one!
