WHEREAS, Texas Englander dZignPak is celebrating the 50th | ||
anniversary of its founding on May 4, 2017; and | ||
WHEREAS, In 1967, Louie Englander established Englander | ||
Container in Waco to meet the demand for shipping boxes in Central | ||
Texas, and a few years later, Ted Hager created a similar enterprise | ||
in Dallas known as Hager Containers; through the decades, the two | ||
companies grew to become leaders in the industry, as their founders | ||
became both business associates and lifelong friends; and | ||
WHEREAS, Current CEO Marty Englander, the son of Louie | ||
Englander, was instrumental in the expansion of Englander | ||
Container's design departments and to the development of new sales | ||
and distribution locations in Austin, San Antonio, Dallas/Fort | ||
Worth, and Arkansas; in 2009 and 2010, the company also purchased a | ||
number of other ventures, including Sonntag, Stribling Packaging, | ||
and Juiced Creative; and | ||
WHEREAS, Hager Containers came under the ownership of Doug | ||
Zadow, Steve Hager, and Carl Renner in 2003; after the acquisition | ||
of Shelby Packaging, the company was renamed dZignPak, and its | ||
operations expanded to include graphic design and distribution; the | ||
Englander and Hager companies first partnered in 1997, when they | ||
jointly bought cardboard manufacturer TexCorr, and in 2011, | ||
Englander and dZignPak formally merged, becoming Englander | ||
dZignPak, LLC; and | ||
WHEREAS, In April 2017, dZignPak launched its 50 Weeks of | ||
Giving campaign, celebrating the company's 50th anniversary and | ||
building on Louie Englander's long history of community service by | ||
providing donations to 50 different local groups; and | ||
WHEREAS, For half a century, this dynamic business has | ||
contributed to the economic prosperity of the Lone Star State, and | ||
the foundation of solid corporate citizenship on which it is built | ||
will help ensure its existence well into the future; now, | ||
therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby commemorate the 50th anniversary of Texas | ||
Englander dZignPak and extend to its owners, management, and | ||
employees sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for the business as an expression of high regard by the | ||
Texas House of Representatives. | ||
