About Us

Diversity
When UP makes the box, our customers can be confident that they will get excellent service and quality from a folding carton leader whose workforce and procurement practices embrace diversity, employs minorities and buys from minority and women-owned businesses. Union Packaging is one of the few minority-owned manufacturers of pre-formed and folding cartons in the food service industry,

Diversity Program
Union Packaging serves two diverse audiences. Our customers sell products in our packaging to some of the most diverse markets in America. All have their own unique needs and strategies for building their businesses. Consumers, of course, are those who purchase the cartons which these products are enjoyed. Within these groups you’ll find a wide range of people with varying attitudes about pricing, product taste, brand loyalty--even packaging.

The market for our customers is changing. And the business case for diversity is strong. In the U.S. the fastest growing segments of the population are Hispanic, Asian, and African American. The structures of families and the composition of communities are greatly changed from those our customers served just a decade ago. And Union Packaging must provide packaging and job opportunities to meet the needs of this widely varied market place.

Sound Strategies For A Diverse Market Place
At Union Packaging, we’re keenly interested in diversity opportunities in the marketplace. At all levels of the organization, we actively recruit and develop women, people of color and people from different geographic origins, to ensure that all groups have a voice in production, marketing and business strategies.

Through our Supplier Diversity Program, we create a diverse balance of vendors by partnering with businesses owned by women and minorities. And through our employee recruiting we continue to broaden the career opportunities open to those groups.

The Power Of An Ongoing Commitment
At Union Packaging, we keep diversity top-of-mind throughout the year. We do so by building a culture in which each person takes personal ownership of diversity. Individually and collectively, our employees are seizing the opportunities our differences represent.

Our management team leads the charge by developing strategies, tearing down barriers and crossing organizational boundaries to ensure positive changes.

Together, we work hard and play hard. And we create a strong, successful Union Packaging.

From Our President
Union Packaging, like our namesake, a union of diverse cultures together, to better serve our customers. In this day and age, it is easy to talk about diversity as though it were simply a concept. At UP, we believe it is a rich, vital ingredient in our formula for success. Our diversity has a significant, positive impact on the lives of our employees. And on our bottom line.

We are building a great history and an exceptional production facility. And this is being made possible by Union Packaging’s people. Indeed, the strength of our organization is the people who plan, market, produce and perform here each day. Tapping the unique skills, ideas and perspective of those people---relying on that diversity to inspire the innovations that drive our business—will continue to be our source of competitive advantage.

It is only by focusing on the power of our own diversity that we can truly; effectively serve one another, our company and the world outside.

Without a doubt, diversity is at the heart of Union Packaging.
