Berry Plastics joins industry group

Berry Plastics joined the National Lumber and Building Material Dealers Association’s Manufacturers and Services Council (MSC).

The council is composed of the leading building material manufacturers and service providers serving the LBM industry.

With headquarters in Evansville, Indiana, Berry Plastics is a leading provider of plastic consumer packaging and engineered materials delivering high-quality customized solutions to its customers. With a global footprint of 124 facilities, Berry employs over 20,000 people around the globe.

"We're very excited about the opportunity to expand our partnership with the lumber and building materials channel by joining with NLBMDA," explained Jerry Lamarre, Berry's VP sales for its Engineered Materials Division. "As a member of the Manufacturers and Services Council, we look forward to connecting with other member companies and supporting the growth of the building materials industry."

NLBMDA's MSC members are established industry leaders who supply products and services to lumber and building material dealers and regional chains across the nation, according to the NLBMDA. The members share a commitment to promoting and enhancing the success of independent dealers and regional chains.

For several decades, Berry has been proud to partner with builders, contractors and dealers by offering high-performing, high-quality, innovative sealing and protection products. Berry's brands include Nashua Tape Products (duct, foil, and general-purpose tapes) and Polyken Engineered Tape Technologies (flashing and code-approved HVAC tapes), among others.

Through a recent acquisition, Berry Plastics added Typar Weather Protection Systems (house wrap and flashing tape) to its family of products.
