Afflink Endorses DistriPakUSA



Bill Frohlich, NPTA Alliance president, observed, "Gaining the support of AFFLINK indicates how important DistriPakUSA will be to its members' businesses. They know that a substantial percentage of its members sell packaging in combination with maintenance supplies and want to support its members in the packaging business. We couldn't be more pleased."

Founded in 1977, Tuscaloosa, AL-based Afflink, a unit of Progressive Group Alliance, will have the opportunity to educate its members at the show and introduce them to new opportunities in industrial and foodservice packaging.

The DistriPakUSA trade show will take place at Chicago's McCormick Place in the South Hall on Oct. 4-7, 2006, co-located with ISSA/INTERCLEAN.
