McNairn Packaging

Culture & Values

Culture at McNairn Packaging rests on the core values of Sustainability, Innovation and Pride.

Sustainability

To borrow a phrase from Andy Savitz, author of “Triple Bottom Line”, sustainability means meeting our economic, social and environmental commitments to our stakeholders.

Economic

"We must make a profit so that our story and the journey can continue. We have a responsibility to our ownership, our employees and our customers to satisfy the need for financial viability. Making a profit allow us to invest in our business, our employees and our community. It allows us to be innovative to assure continued financial success. Since we started this journey in 1882 we have gone through many changes and we will continue to evolve to remain competitive. Social We are committed to enriching our communities by our activities. We will provide our employees not only with a safe working environment but one that provides opportunities to grow, prosper and experience the pride being part of a company where integrity is the number 1 rule. At the end of the day it’s all about our people, our customers, and our families and the people we share the world with."

Environmental

"We will make every effort to provide for the needs of our customers and employees without impacting the ability of future generations’ ability to provide for their needs. We continuously strive to do more with less.

We exceed regulatory requirements for waste water treatment, we choose to use materials that come from renewable resources, and we strive to return our waste to the cradle by making many products that are compostable and diverting our waste stream into fuel pellets that qualify as renewable energy. Being green is not a destination but a continually evolving process where the finish line will continue move forward."

Innovation

McNairn Packaging was founded on Innovation. In 1882 McNairn Packaging was the first company in North America to do roll-to-roll coating. Innovation continues today with the search for new materials and packaging architectures to satisfy the changing needs of our markets and the need to do it in a way satisfies the “triple bottom line.”

Pride

"We take pride in who we are and what we do. We are proud to offer products where quality is a given and to work in an environment of respect, diversity and entrepreneurship that provides each of us with opportunity to grow personally and professionally.

These values allow us to attract a diverse family of employees who are empowered to make a difference, to go beyond the ordinary and ask ‘why not?’ When you know you can be proud of how your company does business with its customers and treats its employees the journey becomes easier."
