Now, as a DHL company and part of Deutsche Post DHL Group, Power Packaging has the financial strength and supply chain sophistication to offer its customers a full breadth of solutions, including real estate, e-commerce and logistics.


"Longevity is earned," said Gordon Gruszka, President, Power Packaging. "We are a trusted partner to leading food brands. We celebrate 50 years as a result of our rigorous commitment to food safety, packaging innovation and quality. The key to our longevity is our ability to evolve.

"We commercialize solutions around our CPG customers' needs with an emphasis on finding creative ways to overcome challenges."

While the company has always used a comprehensive, structured and associate-driven continuous improvement program to ensure it is always building on its successes, it has started to integrate concepts from DHL's continuous improvement program with the hopes of creating an even stronger culture of continued improvement that consistently delivers exceptional service to customers.
