AWARD-winning global manufacturer Go-Pak Group has strengthened its presence in the U.S. with the appointment of John Medford as North American sales manager.
John’s appointment comes as the business continues to expand its global reach, providing compliant and sustainable food packaging solutions to foodservice brands around the world.
Known for building strong client relationships, John brings extensive industry experience from American manufacturer Dart Container, where he worked as a client relationship manager for almost five years.
Based in Texas, John will help Go-Pak grow its profile within the highly competitive U.S. market, positioning the business as a credible and innovative alternative to established packaging suppliers.
John said: “As the U.S. continues to introduce and navigate new regulations across the packaging industry, establishing a dedicated presence will allow Go-Pak Group to work more closely with American customers.
“We want to understand the challenges they face, build lasting relationships and grow alongside their businesses, rather than being viewed simply as an overseas supplier.”
With extended producer responsibility (EPR) requirements varying between states, packaging manufacturers, importers and customers operating across the U.S. face an increasingly complex regulatory landscape. Go-Pak’s experience of responding to evolving UK and international packaging regulations puts the business in a strong position to support customers through this transition.
Louise Connolly, global export sales manager at Go-Pak Group, said: “We’re thrilled to be expanding our team in the U.S. as the country undergoes a significant shift towards more sustainable packaging.
“With John’s support, we will continue to strengthen our relationships with existing customers while reaching new businesses looking to innovate their packaging products and recycling initiatives.”
