On a brisk Saturday morning in January, employees from ACC and HPC joined together at the Mansfield Run with Heart 2020 event. With American Carton Company as an annual sponsor, both ACC and HPC encourage health awareness and exercise. Proceeds from the race will go toward helping support cardiology services at the Methodist Mansfield Medical Center, where the event is held, as well as sustaining our Heart of the Community Program, which helps improve the cardiovascular health of the communities we serve through heart disease education, prevention and encouraging a heart-healthy lifestyle. A portion will also go to the Tarrant County American Heart Association. Join us next year for a great run! Choose from a chip-timed half marathon and 5k run, or one mile fun run/walk.

The resulting event revealed the top 30 businesses, ranked by average revenue from their last three years. These companies have great impact on North Texas and beyond; the top 30 firms alone represent over $680 million in annual revenue.

We added two new pieces of equipment, launched our new website and online tools for our customers… And to top it all off, we achieved perfect scores on our ISO and SQF audits for the 4th year in a row! What a great year. Way to go, team! Now, we ring in a new year by celebrating our 25th anniversary. We look forward to working hard together to continue toward our goals for 2017. Happy new year! All the members of our family at American Carton Company wish you peace, love, and prosperity in the coming year.

At American Carton Company, we put a lot of time and effort into maintaining industry-specific certifications. The one I am most proud of is the SHARP award . This is a recognition program that OSHA has for plants who provide safe and healthy working environments. It takes a team effort from all employees who look out for one another to achieve this. Our goal is to make sure we all go home at the end of the day safe and sound. Way to go, ACC family, for making this happen another year.
