Ref: Organizational Changes October 3, 2011

I would like to take the opportunity to announce several personnel changes.

The first of these changes is that after four years operating as a management consultant, Rick Keene and I have mutually agreed that the time is right to wind down Rick’s consulting role. With PennPac’s continued growth and the changing landscape in the flexible packaging industry, it is a priority that PennPac focuses on the development of a permanent, fulltime management team. Rick has successfully assisted PennPac in the  development of its business model as well as helping to develop a solid and reliable supplier base. I would like to thank Rick for his valuable services over these past years, and wish him great success in the future.

Rick will continue on in a limited role until November 1, 2011. Please don’t hesitate to contact him regarding any existing projects he may be working on. All communication regarding new or future projects should be directed to either Heather or me.

I would also like to take this opportunity to announce the addition of Don Muckel to the PennPac’s management team as Manager, Material Planning and Production. Don has a planning and production background in the offset printing industry. His most recent responsibility has been in Graphic Communication, developing real work experience for young people to enter into the work force. It is these skills and experiences that I feel are critical elements to support our ongoing employee training that will enhance our Premier Service Center Model initiative.

In August 2010, Angi Rosenberry joined the company as Manager, Product Reliability. Angi has a B.S in Chemistry and has worked diligently in developing the necessary corporate governance policies to ensure PennPac’s compliance with the ever- changing regulations in our related industries. 

Heather Puskar began working at PennPac through our intern program, and was promoted to Customer Service Supervisor shortly after her graduation in 2010, with a degree in Business Administration from Millersville University. She’s done an excellent job in developing the protocol to ensure timely and accurate information is available to support our Premier Service Center Model initiative.

There are some exciting company-wide additions that we will be announcing over the next few months as we launch our new Premier Service Center Model initiative in 2012.

Thank you again for your continued support and business as we move forward.

Best Regards,
Bill Palmer
