Alan Crane: A Remembrance

John Norgard, president of Converting Technology, an ICG-approved supplier, also found a mentor in Alan Crane. “Before I started this business, Alan spent some time telling me all the ins and outs of running a business, and that discussion meant a lot to me,” he recalled. “He was a pioneer. His foresight and determination forged an industry that provided stable employment and advancement opportunities for many people. Because of Alan’s openness, I now think about my generation’s responsibility to pass on our knowledge and experience to the next generation of workers who have chosen a career path in the packaging industry.”
