Greif Wins Supplier Innovation Award From USPS For Custom Pallet Box Delaware, Ohio based Greif, a global leader in industrial packaging products and services, announced it has been awarded the Supplier Innovation Award by the United States Postal Service (USPS). The Supplier Innovation Award celebrates partners who deliver creative, value-driven solutions that extend beyond contractual obligations. Greif earned this distinc- tion for its part in introducing a custom double-walled cor- rugated pallet box to replace traditional USPS bulk con- tainers. Manufactured with recyclable materials, the new lighter-weight box is projected to deliver substantial cost reductions to the USPS-and savings to US taxpayers. “Being recognized by the USPS, one of the nation’s most critical public service organizations, is an incredible honor,” said Chris Zimmerman, VP of Sales for Greif’s Con- tainerboard and Corrugated business unit. “This award is a testament to the ingenuity, dedication, and unmatched expertise of our entire team, from our mills and corrugated plants to our service and technical teams.” USPS highlighted Greif’s extensive geographic cov- erage, reliable on-time delivery, product quality, and for- ward-thinking cost-saving initiatives as key factors con- tributing to its selection for the award. Greif’s integrated efforts span multiple US facilities, including mills in Riv- erville, Virginia, and Massillon, Ohio, as well as corrugat- ed operations in Louisville, Kentucky; Dallas, Texas; and Greensboro and Concord, North Carolina.
