being nimble. We’ve never been one to follow the herd instinct.” He said he thinks independents are best suited to the changes ahead. “You have to see what the new world is going to bring and adapt to it in many ways. I think that’s what independents have done so well over their history.” The company credits its AICC relationships in their suc- cess story as well. Bob Doherty tells a story of a major ac- count early on in their business that needed a three-color box which Weber did not have the capability to print. We- ber approached Schiffenhaus Packaging, another AICC member, to look at converting the box to preprinted liner- board. “I called Anton Schiffenhaus, and he treated me like a son,“ Doherty recalled. “I went back to the customer and said I think I have a solution. That whole thing with Schiff- enhaus got us that customer’s business for another seven or eight years. That’s what AICC was all about.” Kevin Doherty added, “I’m the only sales manager here. You go to AICC meetings, and you talk to four or five others. It’s very helpful to find other people you’re in sync with.” Jim Doherty III, for his part, contributed his time and expertise to AICC’s growth, serving six years on the AICC board of directors, from 1994-2000, first as a Region- al Vice President for the Mid-Atlantic States and then as a Director-at-Large. In a video presentation marking Weber’s 125th Anniver- sary, shown at AICC’s 2018 Spring Meeting in Phoenix, Jim Doherty III closes with the words, “The future looks very bright for Weber Display & Packaging.” The company’s op- erating philosophy, its long-term, loyal relationships with employees, customers and vendors, and its Doherty and Zambon family heritage will prove his words true for many years to come.
