Hub Folding Box Co., a custom manufacturer of folding paperboard cartons headquartered in Mansfield, MA, was pleased to host acclaimed rock and roll singer Steven Tyler of the popular rock band Aerosmith, on a recent visit to his family’s folding carton facility. Tyler, who always enjoys stopping by to see the plant’s latest equipment, was watching a press approval on Hub’s new multi-color KBA Rapida 106 press for his daughter Chelsea’s band Kaneholler and its latest CD entitled Vol. 3, the group’s third EP. The Kaneholler CD has just been released and is available on iTunes. Tyler watched from the Rapida’s press console as the job was produced.
Tyler’s many accomplishments include being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001, the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2013, listed among Rolling Stone’s top 100 singers, a judge on the hit show American Idol, and a bestselling author. Aerosmith was founded in the early 1970s and went on to record such hits as “Walk This Way,” “Sweet Emotion” and “Dream On.” Tyler will be releasing his first solo country CD later this spring and will debut the first song on American Idol’s finale.
