Our biggest reward is being able to offer innovative solutions that effectively meet the needs of our converter customers and the corrugated industry. Our team is committed to innovation because of their commitment to customers, and it’s humbling to have their work recognized among the tech leaders in our community.”

Innovations are recognized in eight categories: Emerging Business, Community Impact, K–12 Education, Higher Education, Development, Utilization, Leadership, and People’s Choice.
