“ We’ re constantly going to trade shows and scouring the internet for fresh ideas and new technology, particularly die cutting, folding and gluing technologies,” Patrick elaborates.“ Our R & D department is very passionate; our Head of Design, Julio, will design boxes for fun. I’ ll create a challenge for him – say‘ hey, try to make a childproof box that’ s not patented’ – and he’ ll run designs and mockups, which we’ ll then send to customers to see if they like it. We also work closely with our suppliers and any ideas they may have.”

Such excellence has been integral in EPPB’ s journey and is the main driving force behind the expansion that the business is experiencing today.“ We’ re very happy to be expanding in the way that we are,” he adds.“ We’ ve just added another 30,000 square feet to our existing facility to give us more storage space. We store raw materials on hand for our customers in case they need a fast solution, which they usually do. It allows us to move quickly, which has been a key part of the aggressive growth that we’ ve seen over these last couple of years,” Patrick shares.“ On top of that, we’ re currently in the process of buying a facility in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, which will be our second location. The facility was owned by an older couple who were in business there for 20 years; they didn’ t have any children, so they were looking for a succession plan, and it was a perfect fit. We’ re hoping that the acquisition will be complete by September as it’ s going to open up a lot more market share and allow us to better serve our customers on the East Coast.”
