Komori America Corporation and Komori-Chambon Group (Komori-Chambon, Komori Primoflex Systema and KCBernal) are proud to announce an enhanced partnership with the Paperboard Packaging Council (PPC) through a consolidated membership under the Komori Group. This strategic alliance includes Komori America Corporation and Komori-Chambon Groupl, collectively advancing to a Sapphire-level sponsorship.
The PPC, established approximately 95 years ago, serves as the premier association for North American converters of paperboard packaging and their suppliers. With biannual meetings attracting around 250 industry professionals, the council offers seminars and events focused on the folding carton and blister card markets. The upcoming 2025 Spring Outlook & Strategies Conference is scheduled for April 23-25 in Indianapolis, IN.
As a Sapphire sponsor, a designation limited to three members, the Komori Group will enjoy prominent branding at all PPC events, opportunities to introduce speakers, and the honor of offering toasts at main dinner events. This elevated sponsorship underscores Komori’s dedication to the packaging industry and its commitment to fostering innovation and collaboration within the sector.
Mark Hopkins, District Sales Manager at Komori America, stated, “As Komori continues to invest in synergistic companies to complement our offerings to the packaging market, we have decided to merge our membership resources in the Paperboard Packaging Council. Together, we have elevated our sponsorship to the Sapphire level. This new sponsorship will be known as The Komori Group and will include Komori America Corporation and Komori-Chambon Group.
This collaboration within the Komori Group aims to leverage combined expertise and resources to better serve the packaging industry, reflecting a unified commitment to excellence and innovation.
