Diamond Packaging Selected as P&G Supplier of the Year

Diamond Packaging was named a “Supplier of the Year” by the Procter and Gamble Co. during P&G's first-ever global Supplier Summit on Oct. 15. P&G hosted the event with its 350 top global suppliers to discuss their continued collaboration for a sustainable future and to honor top performing suppliers.

"We are thrilled to have won this award," said Karla Fichter, Chief Executive Officer of Diamond Packaging.  "Our partnership with Procter & Gamble is especially rewarding because of our shared commitment to innovation and sustainability."

"Suppliers of the Year" achieved this award by consistently scoring the highest in broad based quantitative and qualitative evaluations by P&G employees throughout the supply chain.

Diamond was recognized for providing superior packaging solutions for multiple products lines, including P&G's Gillette division, and Clinical Strength antiperspirants and deodorants. According to the company, Diamond has also been instrumental in the success of several P&G product launches, including Gillette Fusion, Gillette MACH3, and Venus.

Diamond was also one of only 51 P&G suppliers to earn an "Excellence Award" for consistently performing at high levels within P&G's Supplier Performance Management System (SPMS).

"We want to honor and recognize our suppliers for superior performance, service and partnership to our business," said Rick Hughes, vice president of Global Purchases.  "Top performing partners who understand our business and can see their role in our goals help us turn challenges into opportunities, even into competitive advantages."
