Throughout Greg’s 26-year career at C-P Flexible Pack- aging, he was eager to stand at the edge of flexography’s capabilities, look past its boundaries and see what else could be possible. With his willingness to experiment and trial new technologies, he found a kindred spirit in now-fel- low Hall of Famer Mark Mazur, who reflected on Greg as “my mentor” throughout their decades of friendship. “I worked for DuPont and they paid my salary, but I felt like something bigger than being a plate supplier thanks to Greg,” said Mazur. “The job—and I think any job—is so much more meaningful when you have someone like him.” FTA Recognizes Three Recipients For Technical Innovation FTA has announced three recipients of a 2020 FTA Tech- nical Innovation Award, which recognizes disruptive and innovative technologies working to affect change in the package printing industry.
