The Paperboard Packaging Council (PPC), Springfield, Mass., USA, and the North American Packaging Association (NAPA) have merged, creating a united North American-based packaging industry association. The merged association will operate as the Paperboard Packaging Council, offering expanded member benefits and "a strengthened industry voice." The merger, which brings together nearly 200 paperboard packaging industry companies, became effective February 19. Further details will be announced in the coming months.
PPC Board Chair Tony Petrelli notes that "this is one of the most historic, extremely significant moments in PPC's 80-plus year history. This merger expands and enhances the work, resources, and impact of our association at a critical time in the packaging industry."
NAPA Board Chair Dave Ellis added that "it's a win-win for industry and association members. The synergy established between these two associations throughout the years helped create this unique opportunity to unite as a larger, stronger, and better-positioned voice to address the challenges of our ever-changing global marketplace."
