Since 2003, IRI has supplied Weber with corrugated raw materials from two paper mills within the manufacturing group. Each month, Interstate Paper LLC in Riceboro, Georgia, supplies 1,000 tons of kraft liner, while United Corrstack LLC in Reading, Pennsylvania, provides 400 tons of corrugating medium.
Weber’s chairman, Jim Doherty, Sr. presented the award to Joe Oswald, IRI Northeast Regional Mill Sales Manager, on behalf of Interstate Resources Inc. Doherty explained,
"IRI is independent like we are... They have a culture that is alive and resonates with each employee as they exhibit their ‘can-do’ attitude. Their exemplary quality and customer service are refreshing. They exhibit a rare display of market sensitivity, flexibility and a willingness to solve any challenges…They exceed our expectations on a regular basis.”

Oswald confirmed that the award reflects the synergy IRI shares with this customer. In an e-mail to IRI support personnel who supply Weber, he wrote,
“Each mill team and each IRI staff member should know the value of their individual contributions. We obviously have seen a significant increase in volume, but we earned something that has unlimited value: respect.”
