To that end, Neely stays in touch regularly with a “score- card” to track appointments and sales and continues to serve as a second set of eyes for Vineland Packaging and the D’Alessandro family, who are increasingly busy with their ongoing growth initiatives and of course, continual investments. “Helping the rep to create a repeatable sales process that works is the aim,” emphasizes Neely. “Working to- gether with company managers, the cycle from the point of hiring the new sales rep to getting them to a place where they are contributing to the profit of the company is significantly shortened.” A Productive Future Since “continual investment” is the company’s mantra, work at Vineland Packaging is ongoing: recent projects include two dryers and two JB clean plate systems to the Apstar. “They worked out really well for us we decided we want to do the other two as well,” says D’Alessandro. “We’re also replacing our cyclone, which is being done by Air Systems Design. In addition, we're getting ready to up- grade our Amtech software to Encore. We’re adding Top Gun, we’re adding Scorekeeper and several other mod- ules that we didn’t have prior. There has been a lot of ancil- lary investments but no flagship machinery investments.” Yet. D’Alessandro says that in 2025, he’s looking to buy more converting equipment to replace Vineland Packag- ing’s 50-inch machine. “We’ve more than doubled in size since 2017. We’ve put more middle managers in place and we’re looking to get a third-party certification, possibly ISO,” he says. “We’re just looking to grow in every way, shape and form and I don’t necessarily just mean by volume, square footage per month and sales dollars. We’re looking to grow as an or- ganization by the same method that has gotten Vineland Packaging this far: continual investment.” Mesirow Advises The Kennedy Group On Sale To Inovar Packaging Group Chicago, Illinois based Mesirow announced that it served as the exclusive financial advisor to The Kennedy Group, LLC on its sale to Inovar Packaging Group.
