EAM-Mosca's Randy Wright To Retire After 30+ Years
After devoting more than three decades of his career to EAM-Mosca, Ran- dy Wright, Vice President of Corrugated Industry Sales, announced that he will be transitioning into retirement over the next year. As he reflects
on time spent with the company, he acknowledges that his career has been highly rewarding. Retracing his journey over these past 30+ years also highlights sig- nificant moments of achievement for the company since its inception occurring only a few years prior to bringing Wright on board.

Over the past 30 years, Wright served in a handful of roles, pro- moting from Regional Sales Man- ager and National Sales Manager to Vice President of Corrugated In- dustry Sales. During this time, Wright stepped up to challenges and addressed the growing pains of a company that initially only manufactured inline and offline bundlers. The limited product offering may seem unusual for a company that has grown into a global supplier of strapping equipment. However, upon EAM’s inception, the founders had no plans for offering bundlers or any other type of strapping equipment. Instead, Dierk Wessel, Bob Leighton, and Hartmut Boellmann planned to run a marketing service, supporting European companies as they entered U.S. markets. But their indelible, positive reputations amongst both consumers and suppliers in the strap- ping industry quickly pulled them back in. In July 1992, EAM-Mosca hired Wright, who had already spent 10 years in the industry, as a Regional Sales Manager to help manage its rapidly scaling operations and burgeoning demand. Both sides knew right away that this was a great fit. By 2002, Wright had received a promotion to National Sales Manager as the company continued to expand. Throughout his time at the com- pany, there’s always been “a dedication at Mosca to innovate and be the very best, and sometimes that costs more, so we seldom are the lowest cost solution from the initial investment, but we offer the best value.” This is what makes EAM-Mosca unique. As a privately-owned compa- ny, it did not need to contend with bottom-line pressures from sharehold- ers, as is often the case for publicly owned companies. Because of that freedom, Wright explains that “the attitude that came from the ownership was always customer-focused and included the support to solve prob- lems and to come up with great solutions.” For this reason, Wright found his work especially rewarding, and as a result, he never gave attention to opportunities outside the company. When it became clear that his role as National Sales Manager would be better served by moving to company headquarters, staying with EAM was never in question. Three years after his promotion, he relocated to Penn- sylvania. Less than ten years after promoting to National Sales Manager, Wright was asked to serve as Vice President of Corrugated Industry Sales, mark- ing another milestone for the company, which had grown from operations CONTINUED ON PAGE 14 Randy Wright
