Send us a textMichael Strehlow brings over 35 years of print industry expertise to his role as Account Manager for Corrugated EMEA at Domino Printing Sciences. Having joined the company in April 2025, he's on a mission to expand Domino's digital corrugated printing footprint across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.The corrugated packaging landscape is undergoing seismic shifts. Major consolidations have reshaped the market as industry giants like International Paper, Smurfit Kappa, and Stora Enso expand through strategic acquisitions. These developments follow post-COVID overcapacity issues and reflect companies' desires to strengthen regional market positions amid economic uncertainty.Despite the corrugated industry's traditionally conservative approach to new technology, digital printing offers compelling advantages. Domino's X630i single-pass digital press with water-based ink technology eliminates the complexities of plate production, press preparation, and color setup while enabling QR codes, personalization, and serialization. For jobs ranging from 1 to 50,000 pieces, digital can be significantly more efficient, though manufacturers must analyze their job mix to identify where digital creates the most value.What makes Domino particularly strong in this space? With inkjet expertise dating back to 1978 and now backed by the Brother Group, Domino develops and manufactures critical components in-house, including inks and printheads. Their Swiss-made X630i press directly addresses modern sustainability and productivity requirements.The EMEA region presents diverse opportunities, with Germany leading European production, followed by Italy and Spain. Middle Eastern markets, particularly Saudi Arabia and UAE, show greater appetite for innovation and investment in new technologies. Meanwhile, Domino pursues ambitious sustainability goals, having reduced emissions by 44% since 2015 and aiming for carbon neutrality by 2050.Want to learn more about digital solutions for corrugated packaging?

Iowa Business Report Thursday EditionApr. 17, 2025        Waterloo Mayor Quentin Hart, commenting on the positive aspects of International Paper's plan to construct a $260 million facility in his northeast Iowa city.

International Paper Chairman & CEO Andrew Silvernail discusses the company's improvement plan taking shape and equity outlook. International Paper has outlined early steps to improve performance, including boosting Ebitda to $4 billion in the medium term from $2 billion over the past 12 months. Costs savings are expected to account for $1.2 billion of the boost, with the remaining $800 million from its new commercial strategy. This is on top of integrating the DS Smith acquisition, which is projected to close in January. Execution is a risk since the shift represents a complete change in mindset from running mills full out. Silvernail spoke with Bloomberg's Alix Steel and Paul SweeneySee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Elsewhere, Tesla’s market share in Europe continued to decline, despite growth in overall EV registrations.

In this episode, we sit down with Marty Roesch, founder of Sourcefire. Sourcefire led the intrusion detection and protection (IDS/IPS) wave, raised four rounds of financing from leading VCs like NEA, Sierra Ventures, and Sequoia, and went public, later to be acquired by Cisco for $2.7 billion.Founders often believe that their first few customers cannot be large enterprises. Marty took the contrarian path. Sourcefire's first few customers were all six-figure deals - PWC, Intel, SAIC, and International Paper. In addition to that, Sourcefire was incredibly successful in working with industry research firms like Gartner and organizations like SANS in developing a new category. In this podcast, Marty shares what happened behind the scenes and provides founders with advice on how to work with enterprises and gain the interest of industry analysts.Almost two decades after starting Sourcefire, Marty has gone back full circle to being the CEO of Netography, a network security startup. Marty shares stories from both his Sourcefire and Netography journeys, discusses how he navigated the M&A landscape and explains where we should be excited about AI in security, and where it's wise to be cautious.

Michael Kaiser is a humble leader who knows how to bring out the best in his team. Michael grew up working on his family farm in South Alabama. After high school, he began working on an engineering degree and completed a BS in nuclear engineering while serving in the US Navy. After an honorable discharge from the Navy, Michael began working in the pulp and paper industry, where International Paper employed him. At International Paper, he frequently utilized Smith Industrial Services (SIS). as an industrial cleaning contractor. SIS eventually hired Michael to run a division of the company, leading him to his current role as Executive Vice President. He enjoys time with his wife, visiting friends and family, deep sea fishing, college football, nutrition, yoga, mindfulness and helping others. Episode Insight: Be intentional in the value you place on employees by engaging with them deeply and inspiring them to work as a united team. Background: Michael Kaiser is the Executive VP at Smith Industrial Services (SIS), based in Mobile, Alabama and is a customer of StoneAge. After getting to know Michael and being inspired by his servant leadership, I wanted to bring him on the show so you could learn a bit more about the very niche industry that StoneAge serves and the exceptional leaders in it. During the episode, Michael and I discuss how SIS lives its company values and invests in people, such as building strong relationships that create powerful teams. He shares how they have dramatically reduced turnover (we are in a high turnover industry because the work is hard and dirty) by creating a mentorship program aimed at helping teammates make it through their first 90 days. Michael tells us about growing up on a farm in South Alabama and how his parents instilled a deep work ethic at a young age that has carried throughout his career. Michael is the true epitome of servant leadership and he absolutely knows how to bring out the best in himself and his team. Have a listen, and let me know what you think!

Kelley Thornton is the Founder & CEO of Tiege Hanley. He was born and raised in Towson, MD. He moved to Brookfield, CT to finish up high school and start his first entrepreneurial pursuit, house painting. With the money he earned from the business, he financed his college tuition at the University of Connecticut, where he would meet his future business partner and co-founder of Tiege Hanley, Rob Hoxie. After college, Kelley entered the Metropolitan New York area workforce as a sales representative in the point-of-purchase display and packaging industry. A few years into his career he was tasked with developing a Chicago presence for his company, Phoenix Display & Packaging, which later became part of International Paper. He relocated to Chicago, IL in 1993 and continued his trajectory to National Accounts Manager and ultimately Regional Sales Manager. After a successful 20-year career in the throes of Corporate America, he left the industry to found his second company, Purchase Point LLC. Purchase Point helped CPG companies think differently about their in-store merchandising platforms. Growing quickly with global customers such as Unilever, Mars Wrigley, Bayer, and Pfizer, Kelley brought a creative approach to captivating consumers during the last seven seconds along their Path to Purchase. Through his experience at Purchase Point, Kelley found the rapidly growing men's care industry inspiring. In 2016 he stepped away to found his next company, Tiege Hanley, a 6-year-old e-commerce company with the mission of helping men look and feel amazing. The business has evolved from selling three distinct Skin Care Systems to boasting a wide variety of products, including deodorant, bar soap, body wash, and a detoxifying clay mask.
