We recently had the pleasure of interviewing Ron Delcastillo, Regional Sales Manager at Conwed. Ron has been instrumental in driving innovation and enhancing customer experience at Conwed. He’s passionate about Conwed packaging, and having been with the company since 2011, he’s become a subject matter expert on the topic. Let’s dive in!
Q: Ron, would you tell us the importance of differential packaging with exceptional design and functionality to grab consumers’ attention?
A: Absolutely. In today’s competitive market, producers, packers, and retailers must stand out with their packaging. Exceptional design and functionality grab consumers’ attention and contribute to the overall product experience. At Conwed, we understand this and strive to offer a wide range of packaging solutions that look great and perform exceptionally well.
Q: Could you elaborate on Conwed’s approach to understanding and meeting customer needs?
A: Our approach is simple yet effective. We start by understanding the specific application our customers require our netting for, and then we determine the best fit from our stock items to custom solutions. Through a series of questions and discussions, we ensure that we tailor our offerings to meet each customer’s unique needs. Our goal is to provide solutions that make the most sense for our customers, whether showcasing samples of our produce bags or creating custom designs based on their requirements.
Q: What sets Conwed apart in terms of product quality and innovation?
A: Conwed has a long legacy of nearly 50 years in producing high-quality netting in the United States. Our products are known for their exceptional strength, quality, and performance. We take great pride in our team, which plays a pivotal role in our success. Everyone at Conwed is dedicated to delivering top-notch products and services, from sales and production to customer service and shipping. We are constantly innovating and investing in our business to meet the evolving demands of the market.
Q: Can you tell us more about the Vexar™ portfolio of products and how they address customer needs?
A: Our Vexar™ produce bags are designed to provide both strength and flexibility. The soft, flexible diamond mesh gently conforms around delicate produce while ensuring superior breathability and visibility. Our products are made from FDA-approved resins and colorants, offering the highest performance and food safety. Additionally, our netting styles, including Extruded, Memory, and Multi-strand, cater to various packaging needs, from automation and branding to compostable options and color choices.
Q: Lastly, could you share details about Conwed’s participation in the IFPA’s “The Global Product and Floral Show”?
A: Certainly! Conwed will have a booth at the IFPA’s Global Product and Floral Show on October 17-19, 2024, in Atlanta, GA. We are excited to showcase the samples of our produce bags, including header bags, heat-sealed bags, and various roll stock options.
