American Carton Co. (CONT’D FROM PAGE 26)
Cox credits Tucker, who joined ACC in 2009 and pre- viously worked for an integrated company, for spearhead- ing the certification initiatives. “He did a great job leading us through that. With the rigor that comes with having to maintain the certifications it definitely sets a tone in the plant for team building and expectations. Our entire work- force is very proud of the way those certifications have been maintained. Eight out of nine audits have been top marks for conformance. There’s no excuse not to buy from us. We’ve got you covered.” Harris says the certifications have helped grow the business, especially with larger companies, and are “tool kits” for the sales representatives. “For such a small com- pany, the fact that we do have the certifications is pretty impressive and the fact that out of nine years of being au- dited, we had perfect 100 scores with SQF in six of those years and with ISO we’ve had zero non-conformities eight of those nine years. That’s pretty unheard of. A lot of peo- ple get good scores but to be that good at what we do and being this small we think is pretty impressive,” she says. As a result, American Carton can compete with larger companies and can turn jobs in a few weeks or less. It’s clear Harris and Cox are proud of the company’s accom- plishments. The management team (excluding them) aver- ages 25 years of industry experience. “We have some of the best of the best around at our small company,” Harris says.
