New Episode of Breaking Down Boxes

AICC, The Independent Packaging Association, has released Let It Roll, the latest episode of its popular podcast Breaking Down Boxes, featuring Larry Grossbard, Co-Owner of President Container. Hosted by industry veterans Jeff Pallini, CEO of Fosber America, and Mike Schaefer, President of Tavens Packaging & Display, this compelling episode offers a behind-the-scenes look at the triumphs and trials of running a super plant.

"Larry's passion for running and protecting the family business is inspiring," notes Pallini. "I've known the Grossbard family for over 30 years. They've taken being an Independent to a new level. It's a must listen."

Larry Grossbard, a passionate advocate for family businesses, shares how he and his brother, Rich, grew a modest operation started in 1947 by their parents and uncle into a powerhouse corrugated packaging company. With vivid storytelling and characteristic humor, Larry discusses the importance of calculated risk-taking, including their pivotal decision to build a super plant during the Great Recession and how they survived early losses to thrive.

"President Container is a legendary company in our industry," said AICC President Mike D'Angelo. "Larry's passion and knowledge personifies why, as he and his brother lead the second generation. His advocacy and vision for the family business is a lesson for us all."

The episode explores the power of strong leadership, mentorship, and a shared vision—highlighting how the Grossbard family's focus on continuous improvement has positioned President Container for a future rooted in innovation.
