Salazar Packaging Resources, Inc. Receives MBE Certification

Packaging distribution firm enhances value to diversity-focused clients by securing Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) status. With headquarters in the Chicago area, Salazar Packaging Resources automates and streamlines high speed packaging and shipping operations for a wide variety of industries.

Plainfield, IL (PRWEB) June 19, 2007 -- Salazar Packaging Resources Inc., a Plainfield, IL distributor of packaging materials and equipment, has been awarded Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) certification by the Chicago Minority Business Development Council (CMBDC), which provides local MBE certification for the National Minority Supplier Development Council.

"We are grateful to the CMBDC and see MBE certification as an important step forward," said Dennis Salazar, Salazar Packaging president. "Though our clients know we are experienced and qualified, certification is important to many of them. We can now help our clients and their customers accomplish their diversity program goals and objectives."

The CMBDC is one of the nation's leading support organizations for minority business development. Its partnership includes more than 250 private and public sector buying organizations and more than 1100 minority firms. "One thing we learned going through the process is that certification is neither easy nor automatic," said Salazar. "We were confident, however, because our track record of performance in industrial packaging is very strong."

Specialists in automating and streamlining high volume packaging operations, Salazar Packaging serves the pharmaceutical, health care, personal care, food processing, mailing and automotive sectors throughout the country. With more than 30 years experience engineering and selling complex flexible packaging systems, there are few applications that Salazar has not seen.

"Companies can take advantage of our experience by bringing us on as consultants and/or suppliers," he says. "Often, even small improvements in system engineering or material specifications can lead to enormous productivity gains."

The firm's main product lines include industrial polyethylene, PVC and polypropylene non-shrinkable films, shrinkable polyolefin films, and high-speed equipment to shrink and seal industrial films of all kinds. Salazar Packaging represents many of the premiere manufacturers in the industry, including Bemis Clysar® shrink film, Autobag® automatic bagging systems, and Rennco® vertical bagging equipment.
