Group's Technical Conferences Promote Learning and Sharing
Fourteen conferences held in the past eight years have aimed to deliver timely and relevant educational value for packaging production employees.
The Independent Carton Group (ICG), an association of 17 independently owned and operated folding carton companies, recently wrapped up its fourteenth semiannual technical conference. ICG technical conferences have increased in frequency over the past eight years, and each conference aims to deliver timely and relevant educational value that benefits ICG members and, ultimately, their customers.
“We have a wealth of programs that empower our members to support each other and better serve their customers,” says Jay Willie, executive director of the Independent Carton Group. “If a member faces operational disruption, our production continuity program is called into action to ensure order fulfillment. Our group purchasing program saves members money on equipment, paperboard, ink and other supplies, and creates a ripple effect with members passing the savings on to their customers. And these technical conferences provide a forum where members come together to learn from industry experts and from one another, and network with their peers.”
