Hartsville-based Sonoco Plastics was named Supplier of the Year by Madico in the Supplies and Services category.
“Given the demanding applications and performance requirements for Madico products, Sonoco is honored to have met those stringent standards, and we are pleased to receive this 2013-14 Supplier of the Year Award,” Steve Pierro, division vice president and general manager of Sonoco Global Injection Molding and Extrusion, said in a release.
The Supplier of the Year Award criteria is based on performance in quality, service, delivery and innovation. This recent award was driven primarily by Sonoco’s approach to challenging packaging issues related to Madico’s tinted window films used in the automotive market. In addition to providing packaging, Sonoco also reduced shipping costs and waste that would have ended up in a landfill.
“This sustainable, innovative solution, combined with a continuing commitment to service, responsiveness and quality, helped Sonoco win this recognition,” said Angie Leonetti, marketing manager for Madico.
