At one point in our visit, Tom Bradford describes him- self as a “pretty reserved person.” Yet, his enthusiasm for his family, his business, and its people is infectious. In an article about the company’s centennial celebration, he calls this unique relationship a “camaraderie of service.” “Our legacy is steeped in traditions of listening to our customers and developing packaging solutions to help them meet their product protection and handling require- ments,” he says. “That has kept us at the forefront of the industry for 100 years.
