After a long and distinguished run in the corrugated industry, Haire Group still has its sights on the future and looks daily for ways in can expand and improve. “In June of this year, I’ll be starting my 40th year at Haire,” said Quinn. “I’ve seen a lot of changes in the industry since I started as a college kid in the summer of 1983, and I’ve also seen a lot of changes at Haire. I wish that I could borrow Tom Haire from Heaven for one day and have him spend a day with us. He would be so proud of what we have accom- plished. We’ve taken good care of all our customers and employees over the years. I think Tom would say, ‘Job well done.’” The BoxMaker Creates Sustainability Council To Meet Environmental Goals Kent, Washington based The BoxMaker, a leading provid- er of custom packaging solutions, announced the creation of a Sustainability Council as part of the company’s ongo- ing commitment to environmental stewardship.
