"My goal is to grow the bottom lines of my customers, and packaging is the currency we use. I know that if we succeed with my customers, my suppliers and my employees also stand to win," stated Mr. Berlin. "It is an immense honor to be inducted by the NACD into its Hall of Fame—an event of a lifetime. I look forward to the opportunity to recognize the efforts of so many in the Berlin Packaging family that have made this achievement possible. While I'm honored to be part of this Hall of Fame, I am not done. I am eager to continue my journey to have Berlin, our customers, and our suppliers become greater, faster."
