We’re proud to share that Pope Packaging was named a finalist at the 2024 Dulux Group – Acratex Supplier of the Year Awards.
This recognition reflects our team’s commitment to innovation, partnership, and delivering for our customers.
Our CEO Craig Elkington and GM Pat Aparo represented Pope at the awards night, celebrating the strong collaboration we’ve built with Dulux over many years.
Our Paper Sacks Division has played a vital role in helping Dulux improve production flow, grow volumes, and maintain supply chain continuity. This support has been especially important during periods of expansion — and we’re proud to have delivered consistently under pressure.
A huge shout out to Matthew Sullivan and Claudia Cirillo for their hands-on leadership throughout this partnership. Their expertise and customer-first mindset helped us meet Dulux’s high expectations — and exceed them.
This award is a win for our whole team. It reminds us of the impact we can have when we work side-by-side with customers to solve challenges and scale together.
We’re grateful for the trust Dulux has placed in us, and we’re excited to keep building on this momentum.
