PWP Industries and Gage Industries Announce a Joint Marketing Campaign

VERNON, Ca. -- April 5, 2004 -- PWP Industries and Gage Industries will jointly market CPET products nationally.

Ben Knight, EVP Sales and Marketing for PWP Industries, explains. “Although we are considered the premier PETE packaging supplier in the industry, this joint marketing effort will allow our organization to provide an even broader product line. As a result, we have opened up more avenues for our retail and processor customers to gain solutions to their packaging needs.”

The PWP Industries sales organization will provide increased manpower to enhance the current sales efforts by Gage Industries, thus allowing Gage to enter into business opportunities outside of their core markets. PWP’s impressive distribution and warehousing network will also afford Gage vastly improved presence in multiple locations throughout the U.S. and Canada, giving both retail and processor customers better access to their high quality CPET products.
