Bemis COMPANY,
INC.
IS AND WILL REMAIN:
• A business committed to demonstrating the highest level of ethics and
integrity possible in our internal and external interactions,
• A valued supplier of quality products to our customers,
• An employer providing a challenging and satisfying occupational experience for
our employees,
• A rewarding investment for our shareholders, and
• A responsible member of the communities in which we are located.
When Judson Moss Bemis founded a small bag factory in 1858, he had little idea
of the global success Bemis would achieve. 150 years later, we look back on our
humble beginnings while celebrating all that we have become.
BEMIS combines dedication to advances in material science with world-class
manufacturing capabilities and quality customer service, creating a competitive
advantage in the markets we serve. Over 70 percent of our products are used
in food and consumer goods markets, which provide a source of strength and
stability for our business. Other markets include agribusiness, display packaging,
labels, graphic signage, medical devices, and pharmaceutical applications.
BEMIS maintains a strong balance sheet as well as a focused and disciplined
corporate strategy. This promotes an agile, progressive business environment that
complements the competitive spirit of our workforce. Our employees continuously
seek opportunities to improve existing products and processes, to develop
innovative solutions to industry issues, and to expand our technical knowledge
base and capabilities in polymer chemistry and adhesive science.
