Sealed Air’s Cryovac® Brand Packaging Receives Top Honors With Food Processing Magazine’s Readers’ Choice Award

DUNCAN, S.C. (March 12, 2009) – For the sixth consecutive year, Sealed Air’s Cryovac® brand has been honored with a Readers’ Choice Award from Food Processing magazine. The company was selected by the magazine’s readers as a gold supplier of both form/fill/seal equipment and packaging materials.

“We want processors to use their own experiences to determine which companies are at the top of the class, and we think that’s what makes a Readers’ Choice Award special,” said Dave Fusaro, editor in chief of Food Processing magazine. “To a company, we think this award speaks volumes because it is their customers who are voting to give this honor, not a particular organization or publication.”

“At Sealed Air, our focus is to understand the challenges our customers face and to provide them with products and services that add measurable value to their bottom lines. We strive to partner with each and every one of our customers. Their goals are our own and our success depends on the success of their businesses,” said William V. Hickey, president and CEO of Sealed Air Corp. “We are flattered that our customers have selected us year after year for a Readers’ Choice Award. This is a great honor to receive and we remain dedicated to not only meeting, but exceeding our customers’ expectations.”

2009 marks the sixth consecutive year the company has been selected for the Readers’ Choice Award. Food Processing surveyed more than 25,000 readers from food and beverage companies to select gold, silver and bronze winners in dozens of categories, including packaging materials and packaging equipment. Readers representing suppliers or vendors did not take part in the survey.
