Peachtree Packaging & Display Named Manfacturer Of The Year Lawrenceville, Georgia based Peachtree Packaging & Display has been named as a Gwinnett County (Georgia) “2020 Manufacturer of the Year” by Partnership Gwin- nett’s “Movers & Makers Manufacturing & Supply Chain Awards.” Peachtree won the award in the category of me- dium-size manufacturer and was recognized at its annual event March 5, 2020. The Movers & Makers Awards recognizes outstanding small, medium, and large manufacturers in Gwinnett, as well as innovators in supply chain management. The event is organized by Partnership Gwinnett in collaboration with Gwinnett Technical College. The event is the largest of its kind in the state of Georgia. This is the second year Peachtree Packaging has been recognized by Partnership Gwinnett. The company was named the Most Valuable Provider in 2019, an award that requires nomination by the local business community. Chad Wagner, President and CEO of Peachtree Pack- aging, accepted the award at a breakfast at Infinite Energy Forum on March 5. More than 350 community leaders and industry experts were present, as well as Amazon Director of Regional Operations Robert Packett, who gave the key- note, and the Peachtree Packaging leadership team. “Peachtree Packaging & Display has been thriving in Gwinnett County for 40 years. Being recognized as a ‘2020 Manufacturer of the Year’ and the ‘2019 MVP’ by Partnership Gwinnett is a huge honor,” said Chad Wag- ner, president and CEO of Peachtree Packaging. “We are committed to investing in industry-leading equipment, advanced technology, and a homegrown staff so we can continue our winning streak for many years to come.” Peachtree Packaging & Display is a cutting-edge, cus- tomer-driven packaging manufacturer that employs more than 150 workers and occupies 250,000-square-feet of manufacturing space at two facilities in Lawrenceville. Peachtree produces around one-million square-feet of product daily, a volume that equates to 21 NFL football fields of corrugated product turnover. Managing that amount of materials in a 100,000-square- foot facility requires innovation, such as the 2018 purchase of a Gopfert 5-Color Dual-Die Cutting Press that allowed it to move from 17 pieces of equipment to eight, while still in- creasing production output by 10,000 full-size sheets/hour or more than 180,000,000 additional square-feet yearly. Peachtree Packaging is also a champion of green busi- ness efforts. Its products are made from 70 to 100 percent recycled materials, and it recycles 100,000 square-feet of scrap and trimmings daily. Peachtree is a leader in “experiential packaging,” a term it trademarked in 2019.
