Great American Packaging, Inc., Welcomes A New President.

Online, May 5, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Bruce Carter joined Greg Gurewitz, CEO, and the Great American Packaging management team in 2011 to help take the 46 year old custom poly bag manufacturing company to the next level. "We opened our doors in 1966 when the world of plastic packaging was just starting to develop. Now we are looking to take our business to new heights and help keep the packaging industry relevant and current." Greg Gurewitz, CEO.

In the last year, Bruce has focused the company on several key initiatives to support a growth business model. To achieve those initiatives the company has implemented several programs including the expansion of the customer support team and the introduction of a lean program with manufacturing and front office. The company has also taken significant steps forward by introducing new products (Bio Plastics, high strength materials, polypropylene, high density polyethylene), the launching of a new website, www.greatampack.com, and new marketing initiatives.

While the wholesale plastic bag manufacturing company grows its product offerings and marketing efforts, it is also very focused on preserving the one-to-one relationships with their customers. Great American Packaging prides itself on knowing their customers' business and tailoring their service to the customers' individual needs.

"We have a great company with a quality product, but what has made us so successful in the past is the relationships we have maintained with our customers and our dedication to help them achieve their own success. Now we want to leverage that success and build on it." Bruce Carter, President.

With the introduction of Bruce Carter into the plastic bag manufacturing business, Great American Packaging is bridging the gap between the brick-and-mortar existence of yesterday and the online opportunity that exists tomorrow. By embracing new technology Great American Packaging will be able to expand their reach in the market while continuing to remain faithful to their valued customers.
