Congrats to MRP Solutions for being the recipient of our 2023 "One More Thing" Award!

At Kaufman Container, our philosophy is that we promise our customers “ONE MORE THING”. We strive to go above and beyond for all our customers and provide them with superior customer service and support for all their packaging needs.

Once a year we recognize one of our supplier partners who has demonstrated a “One More Thing” philosophy and attitude towards us in supporting our relationship and a true partnership. To be considered, a supplier must provide exceptional customer service by keeping us updated on orders, delays, issues, and problems. They must demonstrate consistent quality, respond quickly, and offer competitive pricing. Communication is the key.

MRP Solutions has been and continues to be an exceptional supplier partner. They are a true supporter of Distribution and are key members of the NACD National Association of Container Distributors and PDM Packaging Distributors and Manufacturers organizations.

Mark Myers, Director of Sales, always takes the time to have business review meetings, sharing where there may be supply constraints or where there is open capacity. He shares where there is large cavitation and competitive pricing. This insight is extremely beneficial to our sales efforts. It is our honor to present our 2023 “One More Thing” award to MRP Solutions. Thank you for being a true partner and we look forward to 2024 and the future success of both our companies.

Kaufman took home 2 NACD awards!

We were delighted to announce that Kaufman Container has been honored with two prestigious Bronze Bernie awards this year. Named after our esteemed former CEO and grandfather of our current president, Bernard Seid, these awards hold a special significance as they commemorate his legacy and our commitment to excellence. The Bernie Awards, instituted decades ago by Bernard Seid himself, recognize outstanding achievements in packaging innovation and design. In the Food category, our Banner Bee's Liquid Honey stood out for its exceptional packaging solution, while in the Automotive, Chemical, and General Industrial category, the Buffalo Dental Alcohol Torch demonstrated our dedication to providing innovative packaging solutions across diverse sectors. We are deeply grateful for this recognition and extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone involved in making these achievements possible. Join us in celebrating these milestones as we continue to push the boundaries of packaging excellence and the future of NACD.

Celebrating Earth Day with Viscose Closures

Do you know why Earth Day holds such significance every year? It's a powerful reminder of our responsibility to raise awareness about environmental issues and champion sustainability practices. At Kaufman Container, we're committed to making a positive impact on our planet, and one of the ways we do this is through conscientious packaging choices. In honor of Earth Day, our special edition of Coffee with Kaufman highlighted our dedication to sustainability with eco-friendly options like our Celon shrink bands crafted from Viscose. These innovative bands are not only sustainable and biodegradable but also play a crucial role in minimizing waste and safeguarding the environment. By choosing these eco-conscious solutions, we strive to lead by example and inspire others to join us in protecting our precious planet for generations to come.
