The AICC 2010 Spring Meeting is being co-located with the Fibre Box Association
2010 Annual Meeting and held in conjunction with the AICC Exceeding Customer Expectations customer service seminar.
Several well-run box companies have managed in the past year to gain market
share while increasing profitability. They have done this in a down market with
fewer people doing more and by doing more at a higher level than their
competition. This is a positive thing. Yet simultaneously, these companies are
feeling productivity demands quite acutely as they move forward into the still
uncertain economic future... Read complete article.
Mark Neely will present the customer service seminar “Exceeding Customer Expectations” April 15-16, 2010 in San Diego, California. Click here to Register Today!

In response to member questions about performance properties of linerboard and
corrugating medium, AICC’s Containerboard, Regulations and Sheet Supply Committee is developing a series
of templates outlining the significant physical containerboard performance
specifications which are critical to box performance. These templates, which
will be available to members for a nominal fee, will allow members to better
compare the different attributes of containerboard now available in the
marketplace. AICC Technical Advisor Ralph Young has been working on this using data from AF&PA Continuous Baseline Report, and member use of these tools will also include
available consultation to better understand attributes of paper grades which
are specific to individual paper machines at each mill site. For more
information, contact AICC Technical Advisor
Ralph Young.
This report is based on data from 144 independent corrugator and sheet plants.
These companies employ 14,224 full-time employees spread across all 11 AICC
regions. All responses to this survey were collected and compiled by
Association Research, Inc., Rockville, Maryland, and have been held in
strictest confidence. Read More…
