P+P: What keeps you up at night?
BM: Politics. I have apprehensions when it comes to their abilities to make sure my grandkids are insulated against the actions of today.
P+P: What do you think is the most exciting, cutting-edge thing your company is doing right now? Why?
BM: I'm excited about two things right now. First, our personal care line of products is second to none. We're completely vertical in this product segment from formation to printing labels. There are two companies in the industry I'm aware of that are in this vertical. Our personal care line consists of lip balm, sunscreen and sanitizer products. Second, I'm excited about our SweetZ line, which consists of candy products like chocolate covered cinnamon bears, taffy and fruit sours. We also carry a range of nuts and even hot chocolate. We started this line to help our fourth quarter sales and it's absolutely growing. We thought it would keep our employees busy during months for us that most people are not ordering sunscreen and lanyards. We had hopes it would do well, but it's doing so well I can't believe it.
