American Packaging again among 'best of best'

For the second consecutive year, American Packaging Corporation has been awarded the "Best of the Best" designation among the "Best Workplaces in the Americas" for their exemplary human resources practices. Begun to specifically honor printing companies that provide a superior work environment, 2008 marks the eighth year of the "Best Workplace in the Americas" program.



A panel of highly respected human resource professionals with decades of experience in the graphic arts industry reviewed the submissions. All of the winning companies actively show their employees that they care about their work environment and their personal goals and ambitions, as well as the needs of the company. Applicants were judged on eight criteria: management practices; work environment; training and development opportunities; financial security; workplace health and safety; work-life balance; recognition and rewards; and health and wellness programs.



"It is an honor to once again be recognized by the industry as a company that offers an outstanding workplace," said Peter Schottland, president and chief executive officer. "This accomplishment can only be realized through the commitment of each and every one of our highly valued employees. Being recognized as the 'Best of the Best' is a tribute to the dedication of the entire American Packaging team." American Packaging Corporation is a company specializing in the manufacture of flexible packaging laminations for a variety of specialty markets. APC is a privately held company that has been serving the packaging industry for more than 100 years.
