Fellow PAC Members,
Chers membres de l’Association de l’emballage,
In 1949, a group of like-minded people assembled to
discuss the formation of a packaging association.
In 1950, the Packaging Association of Canada (PAC)
was formally organized.
En 1949, un groupe d’individus aux vues similaires se sont réunis pour
discuter de la création d’une association dans le secteur de l’emballage.
En 1950, l’Association canadienne de l’emballage fut officiellement formée.
Comme vous pouvez l’imaginer, l’Association a évolué de façon
considérable depuis cette initiative d’après-guerre.
As you can imagine, since that post-war initiative,
the Association has evolved quite significantly.
In 2010, the Association was re-branded as PAC –
The Packaging Association. This reflects that today many of
our members are in pursuit of North American and even global
markets. To complement their needs, PAC has aligned its
positioning and services to support this broader market scope.
Fifteen founding member companies have stood the test
of time and remained PAC leaders over the subsequent
years in spite of changes in personnel, company ownership/
structure, government legislation and economic challenges.
In celebration of our 60th anniversary the Board of Directors
wishes to recognize these original founding members.
When we consider that the theme of our conference is
sustainability in packaging, it is fitting that we celebrate
the commitment of these founding members to the
sustainability of PAC. On behalf of PAC, we extend a thank
you to them for helping to ensure the long-term viability
of our Association and through it, the collective success of
our packaging industry.
Our founding fathers would be proud of PAC today and proud
that these fifteen members have remained steadfast in their
support and standing as industry leaders.
Sincerely,
En 2010, l’Association a changé de nom pour devenir PAC - l’Association de
l’emballage. Cela traduit le fait qu’un grand nombre de nos membres sont
aujourd’hui en quête de marchés nord-américains, voire internationaux.
Afin de satisfaire à leurs besoins, l’Association de l’emballage a ajusté sa
position et ses services pour répondre à la portée élargie du marché.
15 sociétés membres fondatrices ont résisté aux assauts du temps et
sont encore aujourd’hui d’importants chefs de file auprès de l’Association
de l’emballage, malgré les changements au sein du personnel,
des propriétaires et de la structure des sociétés, de la législation
gouvernementale ainsi que de la conjoncture économique. Dans les cadres
des célébrations de notre 60e anniversaire, le conseil d’administration tient
à reconnaître ces membres fondateurs originaux.

La durabilité de l’emballage étant le thème de notre conférence, il est
de mise de souligner l’engagement de ces membres fondateurs à la
longévité de l’Association de l’emballage. Au nom de l’Association de
l’emballage, nous les remercions d’avoir contribué à la viabilité à long
terme de notre Association et, par le même fait, au succès collectif
de l’industrie de l’emballage.
