Good News Reports - Schneider Packaging Co Inc.

 


Pack Expo Booth Las Vegas

 I would like to begin our family business good news reports with Schneider Packaging Equipment Co. Inc.  Erin Schneider, third generation at Schneider Packaging and I exchanged emails this past week and part of her email was “We are busier than ever, contracts in place all the way through 2012.  If you know any electric or mechanical engineers send them our way”.  Well this sounds like outstanding news to me in this economy.

They have just returned from the Pack Expo in Las Vegas.  This expo is the real deal.  It has more than 26,000 attendees, close to 2000 exhibitors and takes place in 630,000 square foot. WOW!   Schneider Packaging participates in this expo every year, it is a great place for them to win new customers and retain the current ones.  They participated in a packaging race which drew college students from all over the country to check out Schneider booth and inquire about this growing and innovative company.

Let me give you a little background.  In November of 2010 Richard (Dick) Schneider was one of our panelists at our innovations dinner seminar.  He was a big hit at this forum; he sat on the panel with Eileen Brophy; Brophy Services and Bill Byrne; Byrne Dairy. The three of them talked about the innovations that help sustain and grow their businesses.

Dick founded The Schneider Company in 1970 after wanting to use his designs for the equipment at the machinery firm he was working for.  He had so many innovative ideas that he persistently brought to the owner.   Fortunately for Dick the owner of the company decided against using his designs.  Well that paved the way for Schneider Packaging Equipment Co., Inc. which he founded in 1970.

Today they are located in Brewerton with over 200 employees, Rick Schneider second generation now President of the company with several other family members leads the company into the future with new inventions and designs.  They have received many awards including outstanding achievements awards from FANUC Robotics for outstanding robotic integration achievements; and a new patent in 2011 for Robotic multi product case packing system.   Congratulations to this growing family-owned business right here in Upstate New York.
