Rodney Taylor Represents Crownhill on Packaging Distributors of America’s Supplier Council

Crownhill Packaging is proud to have Vice President Rodney Taylor as our company’s member representative on Packaging Distributors of America’s Supplier Council.

The Supplier Council is responsible for representing the interests of all PDA Supplier Members. It also works alongside the newly established Member Council to ensure that suppliers and members can easily connect with each other and pursue business and growth opportunities.

Rodney has been providing Crownhill with valuable leadership and insight for over 20 years. As a trusted and respected member of the packaging industry, we’re lucky to have him be our voice on the PDA Supplier Council for the past 3 years.

“I am so thankful for the opportunity to serve on the Supplier Council,” says Rodney. “Being able to ensure our fellow PDA members have the resources and connections to succeed in our industry is a highlight of my career. With the Member Council by our side, I am excited for the future of all our organizations.”

In early June, Jeff Knapke of Versa Pak became chairman of the PDA Supplier Council. As their sales manager, he oversees the sales department, supervises new product development, and assists in IT responsibilities. Versa Pak has received Supplier of the Year twice during PDA’s Annual Meetings, in both 2018 and 2021.

“I am honored and extremely grateful for this opportunity,” says Jeff. “Versa Pak’s relationship with PDA has been beneficial to not only our growth as a company but also in the relationships we have built over the years.”

Crownhill Packaging has been a part of Packaging Distributors of America since 2012. We’re the first organization member to operate in both Canada and the United States. In addition to Vice President Rodney Taylor serving on the Supplier Council, Vice President Ken Wong serves on the PDA Board of Directors, and E-Commerce Business Manager Olivia Pietersen is a newly appointed co-chair of the Member Council.
