"AFFLINK is focused on growing its packaging business now more than ever before. The DistriPakUSA show gives us yet another opportunity to get our message of commitment out to the industry. Engaging with our packaging members and suppliers during the event helps strengthen our overall vision of being the preeminent provider of total packaging solutions. For that, we fully endorse what this show is doing for our industry."
-Cheri Anderson, Senior Vice President of Business Development, AFFLINK, Tuscaloosa, AL

“As an exhibitor at last year’s DistriPakUSA show in Chicago, we are looking forward to this year’s event in Orlando.  Since DistriPakUSA is held in conjunction with the ISSA/INTERCLEAN ® North America trade show, we feel it will attract the largest number of wholesale distributors of any other event during the year. Yet, the DistriPakUSA show is segregated so that exhibitors with common market segments, namely packaging, will attract those distributors who service these same markets, in lieu of being “lost” among the hundreds of sanitary maintenance suppliers.  In brief, we feel that the DistriPakUSA show will provide the best possible exposure for our marketing group, along with providing distributors with the most economical means of contacting the greatest number of their suppliers.”
-Susan G. Vinson, President, Consolidated Distributors, Inc., Monroe, LA

"DistriPakUSA was an extremely productive and rewarding experience. In a little over 2 days, I was able to meet with almost 100 different companies, gaining knowledge
about their products and services. The best part about it is, these exhibiting companies
are ALL focused on partnering with distributors, making it a WIN WIN experience for everyone."
-Stephen Kiszely, Vice President of Sales & Marketing, Delaware Valley Packaging Group, Bensalem, PA

“For the first time in THE UNITED GROUP history, the staff hosted a booth at a trade show by exhibiting at the DistriPakUSA industrial and food packaging show that ran concurrently with ISSA/INTERCLEAN® North America October 5-7, 2006, at McCormick Place in Chicago. Traffic flowed back and forth between the two shows with the result that THE UNITED GROUP’s booth received a large number of visitors. We were a hit! Our success exceeded our expectations. I cannot overstate the wellspring of good feeling toward the group that we experienced.  At DistriPakUSA, a number of distributors signed THE UNITED GROUP’s membership agreement and various vendors applied to become a Preferred Supplier of the group.”

“The staff felt the show was so successful for the group that we took advantage of the Early Bird Special on the cost of reserving double the booth space we had at the 2006 show for DistriPakUSA 2007, which will take place October 24-26, 2007, in Orlando.  We are encouraging the group’s Preferred Suppliers to participate in the 2007 event, as well.”
-Tobie F. McKown, President and Chairman of the Board, THE UNITED GROUP®, Monroe, LA

"The inaugural DistriPakUSA show proved to be a success by most measures. There were many different types of products represented by a variety of companies within the packaging industry.  DistriPakUSA proved to be a valuable tool for distributors to expand their product offerings to their customers and improve their business model.  I believe that next year's show will be even bigger and better."
Mark Matthews, Vice President Packaging, xpedx, Loveland, OH

“From a business lead prospective this show was one of the best we have ever seen. We had in excess of 250 attendees visit with us and express interest in our products. We intend being back in 2007.”
-John Anderson, President, ManPac, LLC, Bessemer, AL

“We were very pleased with our decision to exhibit at DistriPakUSA in Chicago. The show was well attended and provided us the opportunity to interact with many of our existing distributors, as well as exposure to a variety of potential, new channel partners. We have already signed up for Orlando and look forward to an equally successful event.”
-Martin J. Simpson, Vice President Sales & Marketing, Daubert Cromwell, Alsip, IL

“Our global network of authorized distributors sets Better Packages apart from its competitors. We saw DistriPakUSA as an opportunity to strengthen our relationships with existing distributors as well as identify potential distributors that would enable us to expand the level of customer service we already offer our end users. Better Packages carefully selects distributor organizations based on their ability to provide local, personalized, hands-on support and service to our customers, and DistriPakUSA allowed us to meet face-to-face, under one roof, with a large number of premier packaging distributors. We were pleasantly surprised with the excellent turnout at DistriPakUSA and look forward to a repeat performance in 2007.”
-Jeffrey Deacon, Vice President Sales & Marketing, Better Packages, Inc., Shelton, CT

“Network Services Co. proudly endorses and supports DistriPakUSA. DistriPakUSA allows Network Services’ preferred vendors and members to conduct business in a concentrated method that is not available at other packaging industry trade shows. Network is glad to support NPTA Alliance’s efforts to increase the awareness of the industrial packaging distribution channel. Having a booth presence at DistriPakUSA allows Network to converse with distributor attendees and exhibitors, which is helpful to the growth in the packaging segment of our business. We feel that DistriPakUSA is developing into ‘the place to be’ for packaging manufacturers and distributors.”
-Kevin L. Rudd, Executive Director, NetPak-Network Services Co., Mount Prospect, IL
