Heidelberg Hosts Marquee Packaging Event

In the evening, visitors attended a dinner, where they heard from keynote speaker John Bernardo, manager of Sustainable Innovations, LLC, who discussed the importance of sustainable business operations in today’s packaging environment.

During the dinner, Corey Gustafson of JohnsByrne was awarded an endowment from Heidelberg. The endowment allowed for a $5,000 donation to be made in Gustafson’s name to Ferris State University, the graphic arts school of his choice. In addition to the donation from Heidelberg, JohnsByrne will make an additional donation to the scholarship. The combined donation will go to the Print and Graphics Scholarship Foundation (PGSF), which is housed under the same roof as PIA/GATF, and has coordinated the printing industry’s largest scholarship program since its inception in 1956. The donation in Gustafson’s name will be added to a larger fund that PGSF administers. This ensures that the donation will act as principal to ensure that the money is available year after year for distribution to qualifying students.
