| Info | Dennis Mehiel is the Chairman, CEO and sole shareholder of the Four M Corporation, with headquarters in Valhalla, New York. He is also the Chairman of the Fonda Group, Inc., headquartered in St. Albans, Vermont with additional executive offices in Valhalla.
The Four M Corporation, and its wholly owned subsidiary, Box USA, is one of the largest full-service producers of corrugated shipping containers and interior corrugated packaging in North America The company was founded in 1966 by Mr. Mehiel and his brother Chris in Baltimore, Maryland. The company rapidly developed a niche as the only interested and reliable supplier of corrugated interior packaging(partitions to protect glass bottle in transit) in Baltimore. Realizing the same opportunity existed in other markets, the company began to expand in 1973, adding a new facility each year for the remainder of the decade.
Inn 1977 Mr. Mehiel purchased his brother�s interest in the business and (having moved back to the New York area in 1975) relocated the corporate offices to New York. More growth followed, and by 1984 the Four M Corporation had become the dominant national supplier of assembled corrugated partitions with operations in most major markets coast to coast. Additional growth during the 1980�s was accomplished through the acquisition of insolvent companies in the packaging industry in need of "turnaround skills". Many of the company�s personnel came to Four M either from public assistance or were in jeopardy of losing their jobs at the time Four M acquired their employer. Today, total sales are more than $500 million with almost 2,000 employees throughout the nation.
Over the last eighteen months the Fonda Group Inc., which has been in business since 1915, has transformed itself from a regional food service disposable food manufacturer, serving the institutional and private label consumer markets into a growing and significant national player in the pulp and paper industry. During this time the company has made four strategic acquisitions which have quadrupled sales, established its national presents and broadly expanded it�s array of product offerings. The company has successfully integrated these acquisitions while creating value through consolidation of purchasing power, rationalization of manufacturing facilities, and reduction of duplicative overhead . Annual sales are reported at $340 million, employing over 2300 people.
