Taking Packaging to Heart

It's easy to tell when someone truly enjoys what he or she does. There's the way a person answers questions—with energy and exuberance. There's the pride that comes through when a person talks about his business and the affection with which he speaks of his employees. So far, this describes Tom Picciolo, Jr., president and CEO of Century Packaging (East Brunswick, NJ, www.centurypackaginginc.com), and he has reason to speak with pride. His 23-year-old company has grown from being a $350,000/year company to $10 million/year enterprise.
