We will tour two Interstate Resources plants in Reading, since they are only 10 minutes apart, and then convene for dinner at a local establishment. Interstate Resources (www.interstateresources.com) holds 18 companies in 8 states, including United Corrstack Inc. (UCI) and Interstate Container Reading (ICR) in Reading, PA.
 
UCI is a paper recycling mill that engages in the production of recycled corrugated paper packaging products. The company was founded in 1993. UCI is co-located with Evergreen Community Power, an energy-efficient boiler and steam generator that is fueled from biomass materials like wood waste that provides all the steam and electricity required by the manufacturing facility. ICR is a dedicated designer, manufacturer and service provider of corrugated retail-ready packaging, point-of-purchase displays, boxes and packaging for the greater Mid-Atlantic and Northeast marketplaces. ICR produces a wide variety of corrugated products, ranging from simple one-color kraft containers to the most complex 5 to 8-color retail-ready / display and specialty packaging. ICR was established in 1939. www.interstatecontainer.com/reading.aspx
 
Brian Romankow, Design & Innovation Manager at ICR, is our host. He will attend both plant tours. Rick Faust, Director - Mill Sales and Fulfillment at Interstate Resources, will give the tour at the UCI recycling mill, and Brian will give the tour at the ICR converting plant.
