Sean S.

We are very excited to announce that as of February 24, 2020, that Sean S. has taken on the role of Plant Manager for our Carol Stream, Illinois facility!

“Sean has done a fantastic job for Packaging Personified since he joined our team as Pressroom Manager. Throughout his time at PPI, Sean’s commitment to the success of all team members has been demonstrated through his daily actions. Within the last 12 months alone, the press room with his leadership has achieved many important milestones including; zero safety incidents, 42 training levels completed, record production numbers in 5/12 months, our lowest scrap total for a year and the 2nd highest year of throughput in company history. Most importantly, he has fostered a team-first environment. It is that commitment to the PPI team and an excellent work ethic that has made him our choice for this position. Congratulations, Sean!”

Robby B.

We’re are excited to announce Robby B has taken on the role of Press Room Manager in Carol Stream. Robby has been with Packaging Personified almost 9 years now, starting as a First Pressman, then taking in the role of a Shift Lead in the press room and ultimately moving now to Pressroom Manager.

"Robby Bottcher has been instrumental to the success of the Carol Stream pressroom. His technical background and a strong understanding of flexo is a huge resource to the department and the entire PPI team. His organization skills and vision have made a great impact on safety, quality, and efficiency. He has also been instrumental in the pressroom’s training program, from organizing the training of new hires to the continuous skills training. Robby has also been personally responsible for the training of many new operators on Press 6. In fact, in the last 2 years, we have introduced 3 new lead pressmen to the Press 6 team.

Robby has also done a fantastic job of managing our hazardous waste program. His efforts have led to a 30% reduction in hazardous waste.

Robby’s leadership and commitment to teamwork will undoubtedly lead to success in his new role as Pressroom Manager."

Team working making the dream work

We want to recognize a huge accomplishment as a direct result of our Personified Exchange Program.
On the very first intracompany visit, Noel was able to identify an area for improvement on one of our Carol Stream extruders. After collaborating with managers at both locations, his proposal was set into action.
Kevin then took on the management role for the project with the support of the Carol Stream maintenance team. After completion, we saw an outstanding output increase of 30% on the extruder.

We are thrilled with results and the teamwork displayed throughout the entire process.

"It is always better to give than receive, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. This would not have been possible without the Personified Exchange Program. I look forward to my next visit, and hope to help out again."
- Noel W.

Thank you to everyone involved in this project, and a special thanks to Noel and Kevin for their efforts.

Annual Sales Meeting

Several football-sized burritos consumed during our annual sales meeting lunch left just enough room for dinner. 

Thank you, Sparta, for being great hosts!

HAPPY RETIREMENT, NEIL!

Congratulations, Neil!

We had a double celebration on our hands this month! Neil is retired his birthday!

We want to thank Neil for his time with Packaging Personified and wish him the best of success in retirement! Enjoy!

“Neil's dedication to Packaging Personified is exemplified by his thoughtful approach to retirement. He gave multiple months' notice so he would be able to help train his replacement and make sure everything is in good hands. We will miss Neil in the office. Thank you, and enjoy retirement!”

Pizza Feast

Not a good day to be a piece of pizza at Packaging Personified.

An estimated 9988 pieces of pizza consumed today, which looks an awful lot like our defect-free rate of 99.88%.

Shout-Out!

Shout-out to Jimmy G!

Jimmy is currently our Graphics Coordinator and has grown within the organization his entire tenure with Packaging Personified. His journey started in extrusion and took him into the finishing department. On Monday he returned to his roots to help cover one of our slitters.

His incredible versatility, dedication, and willingness to help are infinitely valuable to our organization. Jimmy's understanding of multiple departments not only helps him in his current role but strengthens his ability to grow as a whole. After a year and a half out of the slitting department, Jimmy jumped right back in and ran at 90% efficiency. Thank you, Jimmy, your desire to help embodies everything Packaging Personified strives to be.
