Buckeye Corrugated, Inc.: 2022 Innovator of the Year

Buckeye Corrugated, Inc. (BCI) won the 2022 AICC/ Board Converting News Innovator of the Year Award during AICC/ TAPPI Corrugated Week, September 19-21 in San Antonio, TX.

This year’s competition was open to box makers and focused on highlights, new ideas or innovations in the areas of production, administration, in-house training, management, marketing and/or customer service operations that have improved the business operations, increased productivity, or provided the solution to a specific problem.

AICC President Mike D’Angelo said, “AICC congratulates BCI for winning this award. AICC members are always out front when it comes to keeping their employees safe. This years’ winning idea is simple and so very effective. It serves as a great example.”

BCI submitted their Roller Conveyor Platform. The Platform is a safety innovation allowing team members to safely stand on an otherwise dangerous roller conveyor. See a video demonstrating the Platform at www.AICCbox.org/Innovator.

“Buckeye Corrugated is honored to have been presented this award. We strive for perfection in everything we do, and at the top of that list is safety. The Roller Conveyor Platform is the result of a great group of people forming great ideas,” said Adam Williams, General Manager, Buckeye Corrugated, Inc., Houston, TX.

The next Innovator of the Year competition will feature non-machinery innovations from AICC Associate (supplier) Members. Submission information on the 2023 Innovator of the Year Competition will be available in mid-2023 at www.AICCbox.org/Innovator.
