At this time, the family and employees of Stafford Corrugated products would like to pay tribute to our friend and colleague Frank Gamez. Frank suddenly passed away very recently, and his loss has been difficult for family, co-workers and customers alike. Frank was the West Coast Sales and Technical Service Representative for Stafford who diligently and proudly served the company for almost 13 years. His infectious smile and his “let’s get it done” attitude will surely be missed. We would also like to take this opportunity to introduce Ted Chavez as the new Stafford Sales and Technical Manager for the West Coast. Ted is a Corrugated Industry veteran, with over 25 years of experience. He has held positions with several Integrated Box Manufacturers as well as major OEM Machinery Companies. He has machine operation experience as well as training experience, and his knowledge base fits right into the mold here at Stafford. With the addition of Ted, Stafford proudly boasts over 260 years of Experience and Knowledge of the Corrugated Industry.
