John Mayol Nominated For ICPF Circle Of Distinguished Leaders The International Corrugated Packaging Foundation (ICPF), co-sponsored by AICC, The Independent Packaging Asso-
ed by John’s father, Donald Mayol. John was there from day one, making the decision to leave college and help build the company from the ground up. Once the business was established, John returned to college to complete his degree. In 1992, John succeeded Don as CEO and majority owner. Shortly thereafter, he made the decision to expand beyond corrugated and simultaneously enter the single face lamination and folding carton businesses—taking on significant risk at a pivotal time for the company. It was the first of many bold decisions made over his three decades as CEO, helping grow PSC more than 15x and transform- ing it from a small family-owned operation into one of the largest independent packaging companies in the western United States, with more than 1,000 team members. John also became known for his commitment to quality and long-term relationships. Long before it became com-
ciation and Fibre Box Association (FBA), is pleased to announce the nomination of John Mayol for induction into ICPF’s Circle of Distinguished Leaders. The program honors exceptional individuals—leaders whose vision, cre- ativity, perseverance, and energy have

made a lasting impact on the corrugated industry. John Mayol spent 30 years as CEO of Pacific South- west Container (PSC). Originally founded in Modesto, Cali- fornia in 1973, PSC began as a small family business start-
mon practice in the packaging industry, he recruited a quality expert from Silicon Valley to bring high-tech manufacturing standards and processes into PSC’s op- erations, helping establish a culture cen- tered on continuous improvement and op- erational discipline. Just as importantly, John built a culture that valued people as much as perfor- mance. At PSC, employees have always been referred to as “team members,” re- flecting a culture rooted in respect, ac- countability, and shared success. That people-first mindset became a defining characteristic of the company and remains a core part of PSC’s identity today. John was also heavily involved with the Fibre Box Association throughout his career, serving multiple terms on both the Board of Directors and Executive Com- mittee. His influence continues to be felt through the ongoing success of the com- pany he helped build, the people he men- tored along the way, and the impact he has had on the independent sector of the cor- rugated packaging industry. His entrepre- neurial mindset, resilience, and long-term approach reflect many of the qualities that have defined respected leaders through- out the industry. John was nominated by his son, Tren- ton Mayol. Friends, business colleagues, firms, and organizations can honor John by mak- ing a donation in his name. Nomination contributions are tax deductible and sup- port the Circle of Distinguished Leaders Program, as well as ICPF’s work to grow the workforce of the corrugated packaging industry.
