Letter From The President
"In January of 2009, approaching the pit of the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression, we took ownership of Colorado Industrial Packaging. With the dedication and support of our customers and employees, we have grown CIP significantly and added staff when so many companies were laying off. We spend a significant amount of time searching for new, environment-friendly packaging products to bring to our customers.
We offer more than 4,000 items in our product line to identify the best solutions to packaging problems. Nowhere else can a customer walk in and ask for a single custom box and get one in a few minutes. Nowhere else can an entrepreneur spend time with seasoned engineers to develop a unique, cost-effective packaging solution that will help them launch their business. We believe that business success lies in the ingenuity of people with an idea, willing to risk it all bringing their unique product or idea into the marketplace. These are the people that form the foundation of our economy and will bring back the financial strength of our community, and ultimately our country. These are the ones that will bring manufacturing back to America, and we are proud to support these people.
To our customers who have supported CIP and participate in our continued growth and success, we thank you. You are our success and the backbone of our community. We look forward to working and growing together in the years to come."
