From its humble beginnings in the basement of a family home in 1994, Premier Packaging now has manufacturing and distribution locations across the United States and Mexico, enhancing our partner’s operations, providing custom, long-lasting solutions and simplifying the entire packaging process.
In 2024, then CEO John Gaynor stepped down and Jill Gaynor ascended to the role, bringing her decades of packaging industry knowledge and marketing prowess to the lead position.
This exceedingly well-deserved passing of the torch positioned Premier to apply for Women’s Business Enterprise National Council Certification (WBENC). In April of 2025, Premier was honored to become a WBENC-Certified Women’s Business Enterprise (WBE).
In addition to providing our partners with premium products and superior customer service, we’re dedicated to driving positive change and fostering inclusivity in the packaging industry. Our WBENC Certification emphasizes our commitment to promoting diversity and empowering all women in business. With this official recognition, Premier is excited to explore new collaborations otherwise unattainable through normal networks.
“This is a major milestone for our company and a testament to the hard work and dedication of our entire team,” said Premier Packaging CEO, Jill Gaynor. “We’re eager to leverage this endorsement to connect with clients and partners who share our vision for innovation, superior service, quality and diversity.”
This certification not only enhances our sincerity but also opens access to a wider array of opportunities, including government contracts and partnerships with organizations that prioritize diverse suppliers. “We look forward to engaging with clients and businesses who value diversity and inclusivity, and we’re committed to delivering exceptional service and innovative solutions based on your unique needs,” Gaynor continued.
As Premier embarks on this exciting new chapter, we invite our stakeholders, clients and community members to join us in celebrating this achievement. Together, we can foster an environment that embraces diversity and drives sustainable growth, while optimizing the processes and efficacy of our partners.
