David Barnes & Darrin Murriner were inspired by the concept of reducing waste in the paper industry and returning value to producers, consumers and distributors of paper products across the globe.

While they may be a new name and concept in the paper industry their management team has extensive experience in the paper industry with over 60 years combined experience distributing paper to commercial printers, folding carton manufacturers, paper converters, exporters and paper distributors.
