A Note from Marty Ochs

Hello,

It was great to see so many of you at the Converters Expo and Green Bay Innovation Group kickoff luncheon. Following the Expo, GBIG invited BNP Media editors, the New North Inc. and others to join us for a tour. On Aug. 11, we toured Korber Tissue, MECA Solutions LLC, GB Embossing, ELEVATE97 and ASI Thermal (photos of the tour are below).

The goal of the tour was to educate the guests and show the outstanding companies and their capabilities supporting the 5P and converting industries in Wisconsin. Simply, it was a real eye-opener for ALL of us and a real learning experience. Thank you to all who participated.

Truly,

Marty Ochs

Executive Director

Green Bay Innovation Group
