Our packaging and specialty products segment also performed well on the strength of our e-commerce offering and improved operations in Folding Carton, which allowed margins to trend towards higher historical levels.”

“I would like to once again thank all our dedicated employees who have contributed to these results, during challenging times. Strong leadership was demonstrated at every level of the organization ensuring our success during the pandemic. We integrated one of the largest acquisitions in our history, kept employees safe and our customers well supplied all while optimally managing capital spending to position us well as we emerge from the pandemic. Our priority in 2021 will be on operational excellence as we leverage our envelope platform, focus on growing our packaging segment and work to continue to build shareholder value,” concluded Stewart Emerson, President & CEO.
