ICPF Opens Inaugural Corrugated Industry Workforce Index Survey The International Corrugated Packaging Foundation (ICPF) is requesting your participation in our inaugural Corrugat- ed Industry Workforce Index Survey. The survey, devel- oped with the help of ICPF’s Talent Acquisition Committee, a group of industry hiring and human resources leaders, looks to collect valuable information on industry trends in hiring, recruitment and retention. The Corrugated Industry Workforce Index Survey will provide industry-specific insights on hiring, skills gaps, and workforce development priorities. Participating companies will gain actionable benchmarking information to guide tal- ent strategies and support workforce planning. Your par- ticipation will also allow ICPF to track industry trends on an
annual basis to identify emerging challenges, adopt best practices, and target future initiatives. Survey results will be de-identified and only available to participating companies. Use this survey to better bench- mark your hiring and recruitment efforts and monitor hiring successes and weaknesses for the industry at large. See your inbox to begin compiling data using ICPF’s formatted excel spreadsheet and submit your responses to surveys@icpfbox.org. Data must be submitted by February 16, 2026, and data must be provided for all your corrugators, sheet plants, and sheet feeders. ICPF is not currently collecting informa- tion on any additional plant types. If you have any questions or have not received an invi- tation to complete the survey via email, please reach out to Caitlin Salaverria at csalaverria@icpfbox.org. Thank you in advance for your participation in this valuable report. Mesirow Advises Wertheimer Box On Its Sale To SupplyOne
