Celebrating AICC Members and Their Success

AICC celebrated several member milestones during the 2022 Spring Meeting

AICC, The Independent Packaging Association, members had much to celebrate during the 2022 Spring Meeting, April 6-8, in Palm Desert, CA.

Greg Tucker, an ardent supporter of the industry and an innovative leader, was inducted into the AICC Hall of Fame. Tucker is the chairman and CEO of Bay Cities. AICC President Mike D’Angelo said, “Greg Tucker is a most deserving Hall of Fame honoree. His entire career is filled with leadership service for AICC, FBA, ICPF, and the Foundation for Packaging Education. He has helped countless individuals in the industry as well. Everyone has a Greg Tucker story.”
