The Independent Carton Group (ICG), an association of 18 independently owned and operated folding carton manufacturers, has announced that Fujifilm North America Corporation, Graphic Systems Division, is the recipient of its Supplier of the Year Award for 2017. The award was presented during the ICG’s general membership meeting, which was hosted by Zumbiel Packaging, one of the group’s five founding member companies.
“It’s an honor to receive this prestigious award from ICG members. I think it’s a testament not only to our product quality and continued innovation, but also to our exceptional service,” said Dale Schmitt, corporate account manager at Fujifilm, who was in attendance to accept the award. “Fujifilm has made a huge investment in support and training, educating everyone in a customer-facing position so that we can truly be a partner to our customers.”
Fujifilm supplies ICG members with printing plates, pressroom consumables, and a wide range of technologies used in the production of offset and digitally printed folding cartons, corrugated packaging and other paperboard packaging solutions. The company became an ICG supplier in 2006. It is one of more than 40 companies supplying equipment and materials to the ICG members through the group purchasing program, which was introduced in 1999.
