New Grad Spotlight: Waste Reduction Studies

In our converting department, our newest team members were tasked with a simple assignment: assess our waste output. Where they took the project was all their own: They evaluated our current situation, plotted reduction efforts, and implemented trial programs right into our workflow.

2013 Stevens Institute of Technology Graduate

Every day is a new adventure and new challenges present themselves daily. We are always changing to be ahead of the competition, so the job never gets boring.

New Grad Spotlight: Development Trials

When our product development teams needed to create new product testing methods, they turned to our newest employees. The result was a months-long collaboration between site process managers, engineers, and product developers to rethink our testing methods — from the trial design to the sampling methodology.
