The International Corrugated Packaging Foundation (ICPF) announced a new 10-year pledge commitment from long- time ICPF supporter, Pratt Industries. “ICPF is grateful to have the continued support of Pratt Industries,” said ICPF President Caitlin Salaverria. “Their generous $205,000 donation will allow us to continue the foundation’s programs and services that aim to grow the labor force of the corrugated packaging industry.” ICPF is currently strengthening existing programs and services, while expanding their work to address other crit- ical needs. This has included creating a social media pres- ence, building partnerships with the education community, beginning to expand student and faculty knowledge at trade schools and community colleges, and developing marketing/communications tools to promote the many benefits of choosing a career in corrugated packaging. “We appreciate the work that ICPF does for the indus- try and look forward to continuing to work closely together over the years to come,” said David Dennis, Chief Com- mercial Officer, Pratt Industries. Pratt Industries is America’s 5th largest corrugated packaging company and one of the world’s largest, pri- vately-held 100 percent recycled paper and packaging company.
