Engineering Quality

One principle that has guided Nowak and co-founder William Arndt from the start is to buy new equipment that is built to fit customers’ requirements, rather than make customers’ requirements fit existing equipment and generalized processes.

Their philosophy has paid off. Today, CEI claims to be the largest North American supplier of ream wrap with a more than 50 percent market share; has more than 80 percent North American market share in frozen pizza labels and bubble envelope base; has a more than 50 percent share of the North American sugar packet business; and has a more than 80 percent North American market share of frozen pizza labels.
