La Verne, CA – Paper Pak Industries, a leading manufacturer of absorbent food safety products, announced today that Millennium Packaging has been selected as PPI’s 2010 Distinguished Distributor Award winner. Millennium Packaging, headquartered outside San Antonio with several branches throughout Texas, has represented Paper Pak Industries since 2001.
John Terrien, Paper Pak Industries’ Vice President, Sales and Marketing, noted, “Millennium Packaging was selected as the inaugural winner of PPI’s Distinguished Distributor Award based on Millennium Packaging’s significant sales growth during the last decade and for their outstanding customer service to local grocery retailers. Millennium Packaging has consistently provided Texas and Southwest grocery retailers with the absorbent food safety product that is ideal for the particular packaging application.”
Millennium Packaging was founded in 2000 by packaging industry veterans Bob Knoll and Greg Payne. Today, the company represents nearly 250 different manufacturers and stocks over 3,000 different items in its five Texas warehouses. Mr. Knoll stated, “We are honored by the selection of Millennium Packaging as Paper Pak Industries’ 2010 Distinguished Distributor. We are proud of our long-standing relationship with Paper Pak, a company that is recognized for its line of innovative absorbent food safety products.”
PPI’s commitment to innovation coupled with Millennium Packaging’s expertise in the distribution of packaging products, has been instrumental to the companies’ mutual success. Mr. Payne pointed to Paper Pak’s development of an active absorbent food pad as an example of the two companies’ strong business relationship. “Millennium Packaging continues to work closely with PPI’s sales and technical teams to introduce Texas and Southwest retailers to UltraZapXtendaPak, a revolutionary active absorbent food pad. Our retail grocery customers are increasing their meat department sales and profitability by using UltraZapXtendaPak food safety pads in their store-packed fresh protein.”
Millennium Packaging is currently introducing to the Texas and Southwest markets a new PPI absorbent product. UltraZapSpillGuard absorbent safety pads provide retailers and facility managers with a fast, safe way to initialize the clean up process and mark an area as a hazard to surrounding patrons and employees.
