RMP President Steve Carroll wrote in an email to RMP employees "Cypress Packaging is a respected supplier to the same industries we serve- floral nursery, produce, seafood & industrial in the Central Coast area."
"Our goal to continue to grow market share is tempered with our goal of remaining a high service packaging company. That is why Cypress was such a great fit." said Carroll. "They have a great reputation and have been a long term strong competitor known for excellent sales and service".
The RMP Salinas box plant will service the former Cypress customers. " The customer base that Cypress serves along the California Central Coast fits our Salinas box plant and current shipping lanes perfectly." said Carroll. RMP has retained the Cypress sales staff to continue serving the former Cypress customers and provide a seamless transition. "To sell floral nursery packaging you have to work closely with the grower/shippers and have knowledge of how their products need to ship and perform. The Cypress sales staff have that kind of relationship and respect from their customers." said Carroll. "RMP's scale with our box plant and ownership in the Cal Sheets corrugator will help to serve the Cypress customer base with better products and faster turnaround of orders."
