O.Berk Emerges Strong From Record Floods

UNION, N.J.—After a natural disaster, one often hears business leaders optimistically talk about rebuilding and emerging stronger than before. In the case of Union, N.J.-based packaging solutions provider O.Berk Company, Inc., this was clearly the outcome.

Hurricane Irene recently caused major damage to the robust and diverse packaging distributor. In a matter of hours, this 101-year-old company was inundated by the historic and destructive storm. Irene had pushed floodwaters into its Union headquarters well above knee level.
