DistriPakUSA Announces Two New Endorsements: Consolidated Distributors Inc. and Women In Packaging, Inc.
Women In Packaging, Inc. (WIP) has endorsed DistriPakUSA as an association partner and brings a wealth of packaging knowledge to the show. They are a leading international professional organization dedicated to the growth and success of packaging professionals. With over 800 members and a widespread reach in the packaging industry, this organization is a true asset to the goals and objectives of DistriPakUSA. JoAnn Hines, Founder of Women In Packaging, Inc. located in Kennesaw, GA says, “Women In Packaging is proud to endorse and support DistriPakUSA. We feel that the distribution channel for packaging products has not had a concentrated environment conducive to do business in until the birth of this show. Our members will participate in all the show has to offer and look forward to the growth DistriPakUSA will provide to the industrial and food service packaging distribution channel.” Another endorsement of the show has come from Consolidated Distributors, Inc. (CDI), which is a leading marketing group dedicated to the growth of the food service packaging distribution industry. They are associated with 80 preferred manufacturers in the food service packaging industry and maintain a current membership of over 120 locations nationwide. This endorsement from CDI will help grow the food service packaging segment of DistriPakUSA tremendously and will attract key distributors interested in purchasing food service packaging products. Susan Vinson, President of Consolidated Distributors, Inc. based in Monroe, Louisiana, says that DistriPakUSA is a great opportunity and will be highly valued amongst her preferred suppliers and membership. “For the distributor of food service disposables and food service packaging-related products, there is not a single show that is dedicated to these areas. DistriPakUSA, which will be co-located with ISSA/INTERCLEAN ® in 2006, will bring together suppliers/manufacturers and distributors of food service disposables and packaging. This will be an invaluable time saver for CDI’s distributor members. The national restaurant and hotel shows are so large and diverse that it can take a number of days to just cover the floor, an overwhelming and very time consuming experience for a distributor in our market areas. In short, they just don’t deliver a sufficient return on the time invested. Which is why we are pleased to support the NPTA Alliance and its creation of DistriPakUSA.” Both groups are excited and ready to work with the DistriPakUSA team to promote this annual event. These organizations join many others in support of DistriPakUSA, including THE UNITED GROUP ®, Network Services, the Pressure Sensitive Tape Council (PSTC), International Sanitary Supply Association (ISSA), New Jersey Sanitary Supply Association (NJSSA) and Sales Association of the Paper Industry (SAPI). DistriPakUSA is clearly gaining momentum and moving forward.
