CTI Celebrates 25 Years of Innovation and Service to the Corrugated Packaging Industry

San Diego, CA, September 02, 2006 --(PR.com)-- CTI celebrates 25 years of innovation and service to the corrugated packaging industry. Founded in 1981, by Gordon C. Hay, a Forest Products Industry veteran, CTI was one of the first companies to develop sophisticated optimization, planning, and communications solutions for the corrugated packaging industry. Twenty-five years later, CTI is a leader in the development and delivery of technologically advanced software solutions for corrugated packaging companies.

“I started this company because in my early career, like so many others in the industry, we had to do all our planning, customer service and scheduling manually.” said Gordon Hay, CTI’s CEO “I felt strongly that ‘there’s gotta be a better way…’ and set about finding the right technologies to solve the toughest problems for paper mills and corrugated box plants. It seemed as if our industry applied computers to accounting and to process controls, but not a lot in between.”

Over the past quarter of a century, CTI’s expertise and product offerings have grown to include production management systems, supply chain management solutions, and applied optimization services. Most recently, CTI unveiled its newest solution, pkgWARE® ERP LN, a complete end-to-end business system, representing the first enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution developed and extended specifically for the corrugated packaging industry.

Recognizing the diversity of manufacturing environments throughout the world, CTI remains focused on developing advanced, intuitive systems built upon open standards/client server architecture; to ensure easy integration with the widest range of management information systems found throughout the corrugated packaging industry. CTI also works closely with manufacturers of corrugating and converting equipment, conveyors, and material handling equipment to provide its customers with the highest quality of service.

CTI supports its worldwide customer base with 24-hour-a-day technical support services through its main facilities in San Diego, California, Mexico City, Mexico and Liverpool, U.K.; and through regional sales and service personnel located in Asia.

With ongoing research and development, cooperative relationships with other suppliers, and continuous dialogue with the global corrugated community, Corrugated Technologies, Inc. is committed to continued excellence in software tools and service to the corrugated industry.
