Trail Blazers Who Believe In A Better Way
This summer I discovered the future of distribution is in the hands of the noble generation of leaders. These leaders are the pioneers, the mavericks, those who, as Steve Jobs asked of us – Think Different. Rocket Industrial is third generation independent distributor that does just that. They Think Different. The leadership and employees of Rocket Industrial are driven to be a force for good. You see this everywhere, in their marketing, sales, operations, technology, culture, and their focus on their people.
Championing The Noble Calling of Distribution
A world without packaging is a different economy, and Rocket Industrial takes it seriously and responsibly. “Two-thirds of everything in our landfills in the United States is packaging related” says Ryan Gallagher, CEO of Rocket. So we are on the front lines of helping our clients make those decisions to package with less.” And it’s not just talk. In 2016, Rocket Industrial initiated a promise to remove one million pounds of packaging waste from the landfill through optimization of its clients’ packaging annually. Noble Indeed!
