Print Print this article | Send to Colleague

PaperWorks Industries, Philadelphia, Pa., USA, reports that under the direction of interim President and CEO Dr. Richard F. LeBlanc, the company has reorganized its corporate and executive structure. "As part of our ongoing efforts to be a customer-focused company, we have streamlined the organization to increase efficiency and improve service," Dr. LeBlanc said.

PaperWorks now comprises two business units. The Paperboard Group includes the company's original two mills, and five converting facilities acquired in January 2011 when Manchester Industries merged with PaperWorks. The company's Packaging Group is comprised of 10 facilities from the former Specialized Packaging Group that merged with PaperWorks in 2009, and the more recently acquired Rosmar Packaging.

The company's organizational chart has also been adjusted, with some significant changes. Along with the recent addition of Dr. LeBlanc as interim president and CEO, Mark P. Roy is now EVP of the Paperboard Group, working in parallel with John Hartwell, EVP of the Packaging Group. Kevin Coghlan is acting CFO. Dan Sassi, VP of Human Resources, and Bob Toupin, now VP of Information Systems, will provide executive corporate support.

"We continue to be a company built around a stable core of seasoned executives. Continuity and consistency are the bedrock of the PaperWorks offering," Dr. LeBlanc said.

Founded in 2008, PaperWorks Industries' Packaging Group produces specialized folding cartons, serving clients across North America from its 10 facilities. The Paperboard Group produces some 300,000 tpy of 100% recycled paperboard for a variety of end uses, and further specializes in the cutting and distribution of all paper types according to specific customer needs.
