We’ve been doing this since 1978 and have been providing our clients with many different types of protective packaging solutions consisting of air, paper, loose fill, and foam cushions. The packaging used to protect the Deloitte Cincinnati USA 100 Award during transit is Storopack’s FOAMplus® pre-molded cushion. All FOAMplus® pre-molded solutions are designed to assure product protection during transit so they will arrive damage-free. It’s no wonder Storopack was a clear-cut choice in designing and producing a first-class protective packaging solution for the Deloitte Cincinnati USA 100 Award.

As a way to honor the Deloitte Cincinnati USA 100 recipients, in 2006, Deloitte commissioned The Rookwood Pottery Company to create the unique award provided to the 100 companies. As an organization with a rich Cincinnati history, Rookwood was the clear-cut choice to provide a custom award that symbolizes the proud traditions and history of our city and represents the outstanding achievements of the Deloitte Cincinnati USA 100. This handcrafted piece of American ceramic art honors the private businesses and owners that, through their entrepreneurial spirit and success, do so much for our local economy and community.

Thank you to our distinguished award providers
