Good Things in Small Packages

Too much of a good thing is never really enough in most consumer packaged goods industries.And it’s hardly a stretch to say that things are looking good indeed these days for JemPak GK Inc.—a fast-growing manufacturer of automatic dishwasher detergents who is really cleaning up, business-wise, in the product category’s buoyant,yet fiercely competitive, private-label segment.Brought back to life from looming bankruptcy three years ago by a team of local investors and corporate turnaround experts, the recently renamed and refocused producer of household cleaning chemicals formerly operating under the former Witco Chemical banner is a happy testament to the virtues of sound management skills,manufacturing and packaging excellence, and a proactive R&D (research and development) mind set as key pre-requisites for corporate rejuvenation and renewal.
