This growth signifies an exciting new chapter for EPPB as it moves forward into the future – a brilliant way to celebrate its 30th anniversary milestone. Reflecting on the last three decades, Manufacturing Today asked Patrick what he feels has been the secret sauce behind EPPB’ s continued success, and his answer was simple.
“ Our people have been the reason behind our success. We’ ve got the best people, some of whom have been with us for over 20 years, and because of them, we’ ve been able to grow in the way that we have,” he affirms.“ We’ re currently running a lot of overtime, so having the flexibility of a great team has really helped us to make the right strategic moves to serve more customers. Our people really make us who we are at EPPB.”
With 2025 marking another successful year for EPPB, it’ s clear that the company is well-positioned to continue to grow and prosper. As the future unfolds, EPPB
is set to remain on its growth trajectory, delighting customers all over the country with memorable, innovative packaging.
“ Once the expansion is done, we’ ve got four machines to move and install between now and October. Alongside this, we’ ll also be finalizing the Florida acquisition and purchasing new machinery for that,” Patrick reveals.“ In the next five years, I’ d like to have our Florida location up and running, achieving two to three times the sales it’ s doing now, with a larger customer base to serve.
“ I would like to see El Paso continue to grow steadily, expanding into new territories with different technologies,” Patrick concludes.“ We’ d like to continuously reinvest back into our business and our people, possibly even look for a third location and expand on our current capabilities and successes.” ■
