Partner Profile Coating Excellence International, LLC is a rapid-growth, market-leading, wide web flexible packaging company specializing in water based printing, extrusion-coating, solvent-less laminating, and bag-making. CEI's products package major national consumer product brands. Coating Excellence International is committed to reducing its energy to product ratio and becoming carbon neutral by December 2009. The company is purchasing green power as part of its commitment to increase global sustainability and to assist customers in meeting market needs of performance and cost through clean production technologies, renewable resources, and recyclability. CEI's sustainability commitment has resulted in collaborative efforts between customers' production floors and all CEI personnel. During its green power purchase process, Coating Excellence International was surprised at the high level of interest in the program and learned how many additional ideas surfaced when it included its employees in the process. George Fickau, Manager of Sustainable Packaging, says purchasing green power is "good for our employees, our customers, and our community. It's just the right thing to do."
