Corrugated Chemicals Inc.

Building Partnership Through Chemistry, Process, and People

Since opening our doors, we have spent over 40 years committed to improving the industry—growing from a regional manufacturer to a global supplier of specialty products.

Our growth has been fueled by the ever-evolving needs of our clients while focusing on the bottom line. No matter your situation, we have a solution for you.

Th e corrugated industry is going through a transformation, like so many other industries, the competition for qualifi ed personnel, retention of employees, and loss of industry knowledge has created a need for qualifi ed industry specialists and qualifi ed trainers. CCI’s team of experienced technical specialists has been recognized as the company to call. While other suppliers off er training, no other supplier can match the in-depth approach CCI off ers.

CCI has anticipated this industry need and has put together a technical team that can provide the knowledge, training, and products that will impact your bottom line. CCI’s comprehensive training is plant specifi c, classroom, hands on, communication, machine, troubleshooting, formulation, follow up, and much more.

If you need help with production, quality, or training, call us today at 513-561-7773 or visit our website at https:// corrugatedchemicals.com.

Equipment Finance Corporation

Equipment Finance Corporation has provided long term, fi xed rate fi nancing for new and used Paper Converting machinery since 1993.

Our commitment to the industry continued throughout the Covid-19 shutdown/slowdown period by providing payment extension and rewrites to alleviate our clients’ cash fl ow concerns. Unlike commercial banks, we are not paralyzed by the fear of the virus slowdown and are lending as always with fi nancing of up to 100% of the total project cost of new machinery with amortization terms of up to 15 years. Loans for used equipment typically include 100% of the cost of equipment, including rigging, shipping, and installation costs with terms of from fi ve to eight years.

We believe that the corrugated packaging industry is stable and growing with the expansion of on-line purchases being the new norm. Equipment Finance is ready to provide the capital required by our clients to take advantage of their opportunities. We are not hampered by bank regulators and Fed regulations which can result in banks being overly conservative in both their lending availability and programs in the current environment.

Our loan options include early prepayment, annual additional paydown, and loan term adjustment options allowing our clients to take advantage of the low monthly payments of a long amortization repayment term, while having the options to shorten the loan term later, make additional principal paydown, or early prepayment. Th erefore, you can have low payments without locking yourself into a long term commitment.

Investment in upgraded equipment continues to be an ongoing requirement for corrugated operations in order to satisfy customer requirements, improve production speed, capacity & effi ciency, and reduce unit labor cost. Th e need to acquire more effi cient, productive, and less labor intensive equipment will only increase in the future, as will the cost of machinery. EFC’s 30+ years of industry knowledge and experience allows us to off er qualifi ed clients longer repayment terms plus fi nancial fl exibility not available through commercial banks or bank leasing/fi nance companies.

In addition to loans for newly acquired equipment, we provide debt refi nancing to reduce existing loan payments, fi x fl oating rate debt or reduce higher rate debt. Unlike bank lenders, our fi nancial terms and structures are set based on the parameters which best serve the needs of each individual borrower, not a regulatory agency. With our historical knowledge of the resale value of packaging equipment, our credit requirements are also much more fl exible than other institutions. We do not burden clients with blanket asset liens, restrictive loan covenants, and personal guarantees as are typically required by banks and other lenders. You have worked hard for many years to build a strong, successful business. We recognize that and provide lending terms which you deserve based on your fi nancial strength and time in business, not terms determined by federal bank auditors.

While repayment terms and structure fl exibility are extremely important, so is interest cost. Equipment Finance Corporation off ers fi xed rates which are equal to or less than those of commercial banks, bank leasing & fi nance companies, or other fi nancial institutions serving the Packaging Industry. Our large fi nancial services volume allows us access to funding at below market rates which we can then pass on to our clients in the form of lower rates, but with the attractive long term, fl exible repayment plans which are not available through regulated banks and bank owned capital and leasing companies.

Contact Ed Gargiulo at 800-469-1082 or 770-714-0662 or ed@efc-fi nance.com. We will be pleased to provide you with a list of your colleagues whom we have had the pleasure to assist in the past. Th ey can advise you how Equipment Finance has helped them, and can help you, grow your business and improve your bottom line.

Aduco Communications Inc.

Pixels and Stones Won’t Break Your Bones – Communication Essentials in the Digital Age

Nothing—and yet everything—has changed. Th e pandemic hit us all in more ways than one. From labor shortages and lockdowns to travel and other related restrictions brought about by the COVID crisis, corrugated OEMs and box plants alike fought hard to keep up with growing demand amid a challenging supply chain.

But the show must go on. Forever resilient, the industry maintained its essential status and converters churned out boxes faster than Santa during Christmas.

For marketers, this meant the typical communication rush around buying season and trade shows was replaced by an 18-month daily communication chess game. Unable to meet in-person, many suppliers turned to digital communications in hopes of staying top-of-mind. In fact, ResearchAndMarkets.com recently reported that “digital marketing spending is poised to grow by $128.83 bn during 2021–2025, progressing at a CAGR of 6.53%.” Th e study further pointed out that “the market is driven by global digital transformation and increased credibility.” On a micro level, the increased demand even forced us at Adduco to triple our digital department and bring in additional partners where necessary.

For many B2B leaders, the digital proliferation over the last year came as an unexpected surprise. Th is was especially true for the corrugated market, where most have grown accustomed to more traditional forms of marketing. Antiquated websites and graveyard social media accounts were quickly losing favor with customers, and many companies were forced to switch tactics quickly. Several took advantage of the new era in communication and started up relevant podcasts and blogs. Others focused on what they needed to fi x ... and a few are still waiting for the tide to turn back. [Spoiler Alert: It’s not.]

Th e good news is that the landscape is forever evolving, and as long as you have something to sell, you have something to tell and someplace to share it. According to Siteefy, there are “133,361,676 websites in the US as of August 2021” with 500,000+ more added each day globally. Furthermore, of those sites more than 23% are not mobile friendly.

Begging the fi rst question, is your site mobile friendly? If not, that’s a fi rst step in optimizing brand awareness and visibility as some statistics show more than 60% of site traffi c comes from mobile devices. Th is also means there are ample opportunities to be seen and heard. Many of these blogs, newsletters, and related industry websites are always looking for new content. As an added bonus, the more sites that you share your brand story with, the greater your own web results will be.

Speaking of content, digital marketing allows for content to be spread further but also demands more of it. According to Forbes, “global online content consumption doubled in 2020,” and social media alone grew by 48%, followed by news websites and apps increasing by 47%. Th is doesn’t necessarily mean you must double your eff orts, but it does pose our second question—how much original content does your company currently produce? If the answer is “not much” or “we don’t have enough to say,” it might be time to give us a call or seek out some help.

As previously mentioned, if you have something to sell, there is a story to tell. I should note this is overly simplifi ed as we recognize not all content is good.

Th is brings up our third and probably most important question—do you know your audience? Simple as it sounds, for marketers this means a lot more than just recognizing who your ideal buyer is by the traditional categories of company and title. We need to know their personalities, likes/dislikes, preferred modes of communication, and channels they visit. It’s a science. Social media is great for providing that data and we often leverage it for both prospecting and communicating.

In the end, the world has changed but business has not. How we communicate and conduct business has gone largely digital—and many will need to adapt before they fall too far behind. For those of us entrenched in the digital age, we will continue to work hard to ensure the voice of our customer is etched in both pixels and stone.

People’s Capital and Leasing Corp

Are You Positioned to Fully Leverage Today’s Market Opportunities?

Where will your business be in fi ve years? Th e growth forecast for the corrugated packaging industry is strong due to a number of drivers that include: • Explosive growth in e-commerce, from direct ship-to-buyer to buy online/pickup in store • Rising need for sustainably produced, biodegradable shipping and storage materials • Increasing demand for packaging that helps businesses stand out in a crowded, highly competitive marketplace.

All of these represent tremendous opportunities. But realizing them will mean meeting the challenges that come along with them, such as: • Economical production at scale • Th inner yet stronger packaging • Customized, retail-ready printing with high impact and at a competitive cost

Succeeding in this environment will require an unprecedented level of innovation and agility, driven in large part by advanced production technologies and people who can get the most from them. But how will manufacturers get equipped and train their teams to stay on the cutting edge without driving their fi nancial position to the bleeding edge?

What will that path look like? Aff ordably acquiring the needed technology, keeping it up to date, and ensuring that teams can fully utilize it will require the kind of fi nancing strategy we’ve developed for the industry—one that includes elements like these: • Th e fl exibility to choose from loans, leases, and SBA agreements as the situation warrants, along with expert insight on the relative merits of each option in a given scenario • 100% fi nancing for equipment to relieve the upfront cash burden of equipment acquisitions and position businesses for maximum fl exibility as opportunities arise and evolve • Customizable terms that include options like progress payment fi nancing, competitive fi xed or fl oating rates, synthetic leases, operating leases, and other alternatives that give manufacturers a best-fi t solution to their needs now and the agility to modify their solution as business needs dictate • Local decision-making from a fi nancial partner that holds transactions in its own portfolio • Asset-secured lending that doesn’t require businesses to secure acquisitions with blanket liens or real estate
