We are in the protective packaging business.

We have 4 core products: Air – the air pillows when you open an Amazon box, Paper – void fill and protection, Loose Fill – the packaging peanut, and then Foam.

Goals

  • Focus on Core Business
  • Gain Control of Maintenance Management
  • Implement a Fuel Program
  • Personal Mileage Reporting Program

Not only are we providing the product to protect our customers’ product on the way to their customer, we help them design the most efficient process possible to get their product out the door and on the way to their customer.

We have 18 plants across North America, 360 employees, mostly in major markets coast to coast – from Toronto down to Mexico. Storopack has been working with Mike Albert for somewhere around 30 years, an extraordinarily long time. In fact, I think Mike Albert leased Storopack its first delivery vehicle when they started business in North America.

A little over a year and a half ago, I took on the responsibility of our company car program. When it transitioned to me, the unique thing was, we were intentional in asking Mike Albert to take on more, really as a business partner with us. And really, since that time, it’s been super easy.

When you outsource something you want it to be your third arm. And they are really are acting as our third arm when it comes to our fleet management.

We provide a direction as to what we want the program to accomplish, and how, kinda how we want it to work for our people, and Mike Albert does everything else.

When you outsource something you want it to be your third arm. And they are really are acting as our third arm when it comes to our fleet management.

Instead of us allocating resources, people, capital, time, and space to this very important function, we can use those resources elsewhere - in the core activties of our business. That's the value.
