Wisconsin has a large presence of container and boxboard production facilities across the state. Unfortunately, a large number of them have older production facilities!
Green Bay Innovation Group is putting together a group of very educated and talented individuals that support the paper industry. If you are interested in joining us, please contact me. We will be reaching out to Businesses, The State of Wisconsin, The Wisconsin Paper Council and other Associations supporting the Paper Industry in Wisconsin.
Truly,
Marty Ochs
